The Darque French Maid costume is a perfect addition to any fetish or play wardrobe. The dress is extremely shiny due to the vinyl overlaying the soft cotton that makes up the portion of the dress that rests against your skin. If you're chesty and worried about "the girls" falling out, the straps of the dress are adjustable much like a bra. On the bodice of the dress is a bit of white piping and lining to contrast to the black of the dress. The piping actually contours to your waist and down to your hips to give you a rather sexy, sheen look.

The skirt ends very high up on the thighs so that all the bits beneath are easier to reach, if that is what you're into, of course. Beneath the skirt is a petticoat that is sewn into the dress itself, so there is no need to go searching for one unless you desire to have the skirt shorter or puffier. Laying on top of the skirt is a white satin apron that is also attached to the dress, so there is no worry or aggravation of having to constantly fix or adjust it if it begins to slip or comes untied.

The back of the dress is all black and laces up, much like a corset. The black satin ribbon comes with the dress and can be used to tighten it up a tad bit more for a better fit. There are no zippers to fool with, which is a plus for those who absolutely loathe zippers and the struggled they cause sometimes.

If you're a bigger girl and are possibly leery of purchasing a costume online without first trying it on, settle your mind. The measurements provided are true to form. If you fit within the measurements provided, the dress should fit like a glove. It is very slimming and flattering as well if that is an effect you are going for or wish to achieve. I would recommend this costume over a lingerie counterpart any day.

This dress is an absolute beauty in and of itself and is well made. For those into kink and rough play, this dress can withstand a rough session. Granted, if you sweat a bit during play the dress is a bit hard to get off on your own but it will not fall apart after a bit of roughness. That is a major plus, in my eyes at least.

And, to the men who enjoy dressing in women's clothing, this dress is great for you as well. I cannot talk much about how it fits from a man's perspective, as my lover has not worn it, but there are a few men that I know who own this same dress. Honestly, they are the reason why I purchased it to begin with because of how good it looked on them. If you're a man reading this or a woman who knows your man enjoys dressing up, this is definitely a dress to consider to add to his collection as well.

All in all, the Darque French Maid costume is an excellent choice of costume if you are searching to add to your collection or begin your own.

The first time I wore this for my partner I was nervous. I hadn't worn a costume for him before. When he saw me in it, his eyes lit up and he formed that sly grin he usually gets when he's really hungry for me. I found the dress to be very comfortable to sit in for an extended period of time while he played with me. We're both kinky and into rough play, so we did play a bit in it before I too it off. It withstood all of my writhing and squirming as well as his hands grabbing and holding me down. It's definitely my new favorite fetish wear!

The dress had held up through some rather rough play as of late, though I will say that the apron portion has ripped a bit. The material hasn't been easy to fix as it began to shred as soon as I went to sew it back on. That's the only downfall that I have found with the dress thus far. Otherwise, it is still a good costume choice and highly durable so long as you don't tug too hard on the apron portion.
