maid costume

Frilly service uniform

A maid costume is an outfit styled after traditional domestic servant uniforms, typically featuring a black dress with white apron, cap, and frilly trim.

While sometimes worn for actual service work or Halloween, maid costumes are strongly associated with fetish wear, cosplay, and the "French maid" aesthetic that emphasizes short skirts and sexualized design: She bought a maid costume for the costume party.
