The French Maid is a quick history of the Domestic Diva.

We were curious about where the sexy little vixen's roots were.Was the sexy French Maid outfit of the day dreamed up by someone with a feather duster fetish?Here's what we found when Tipsy Totes investigated.

The French Maid had her beginnings in the early 19th century.She wasn't as pretty as she is now.

The upper middle class families of the 1800's hired young beautiful French women for household chores to add to their lifestyles.If a family couldn't afford a French maid, they would hire a less expensive one and ask her to pretend to be French.It was a luxury to have the French Maid because most women didn't work outside the house.

Did we talk about the differences between her uniform and what we know today as a French Maid?Her outfit was very prim and proper.Her full dress was fastened to the collar bone and hung down past the knees or the floor.She wore a white apron and white cap when she wore the dress because she didn't want it to be dirty.It's not recognizable as a French Maid today.

In the 1800's, every day chores like tending to the household, cooking, cleaning, and minding the kids were included as well as 24 hour service at times.When she was needed at 3AM, it was convenient to keep her in servant quarters within the house.There were rumors and accusations of love affairs between employers and French Maids over time.Her reputation became more scandalous.It was the beginning of our association with the term French Maid.

American Burlesque furthered the cliché with comedy skits of gorgeous, uncomprehending young French girls in skimpy little outfits in questionable situations.French Maids typically wear black and white uniforms.The outfits were risqué enough to make you want to watch them, but not so much that they would get shut down.

Did you know about the French Maid?When we began our investigation, we surely did not.The epitome of sexy we all know today is the French Maid, thanks to Burlesque shows.

What made us dig into the French Maid's past?Our own maid.We wanted to know what made her who she is if we sold them.From Pin Up to Burlesque, we have continued into the realm of today with Halloween costumes and cosplay.Still sexy and pushing the boundaries.I think that today's cosplay is similar to yesterday.Old Pin Up pictures are used to sell Halloween costumes.Always pushing the limits of what is acceptable.

The French Maid pays homage to the earlier women who had more coverage.We leave a lot of sexy and intrigue to the imagination.
