I've never done role playing before, so I thought I'd start with a classic: The French Maid. I got the XL/PLUS/QUEEN size. I gave the costume a quick run through the washer and laid it out to dry. I checked all the seams and was pleased to find the costume intact. There were a few strands of extra thread, but nothing a pair of scissors couldn't fix. I tried on the pieces separately so I could get a feel for each of them.

The apron is cute and sexy. I pinned the skirt to the sash an extra inch on either side so it would fan out a little more. I love the cuffs! They are so 80's Madonna music video! They're gonna be a part of my next Halloween costume. Now to the "eh" stuff.

The bra is cute and I liked the idea of my boyfriend undoing the bows on my breasts. Unfortunately, I do not have breast implants, so I need a little support in a bra. This bra provided none and since I am a "queen" sized woman, my boobs looked very sad behind the mesh and lace. The g-string bottoms were comfortable and designed to fit. It was hard to find a sexy place to put the band on my hips. I couldn't really find a place where the band wasn't cutting a bulge in half or making a line look worse.

The idea of the costume is cute and the clothes look sexy. The costume fits fine and has a lot of stretch to it. I just don't look or feel sexy in it. I modeled it for my roommate (who is also a reviewer, hi Vivi!). She is also "queen" sized and agrees that the bra and g-string just don't work on our kind of bodies. I'm gonna use the cuffs and apron with some other pieces in my underwear drawer and introduce my boyfriend to "Colette."

I would recommend this costume to someone smaller than myself, especially if they have fake boobs. I know there is a "queen" sized diva somewhere out there that can pull this outfit off. All I know is, I am not that diva. If you have pierced nipples, try stringing the ribbons of the bra through your rings before tying the bow. I'm sure it would add some lift and be extra kinky. Make sure you wash the costume before wearing it. The lace felt really itchy to the touch before I washed it.

I was pleased with the costume overall. I give it 3 out of 5 stars. The pieces are cute and give you the French Maid look. It's something I would have bought if I was looking for a new angle on role playing. The price is right considering how well the clothes are constructed. It would have been nice if the costume didn't leave you so exposed. If you're looking for a new character to role play or just want to surprise your lover when they come home and catch you dusting, give this costume a try. I won't hold it against you if you use Colette's name, either.
