To use this French maid costume, first put on the corseted dress through the side zipper. Adjust the halter strap to fit your neck comfortably and then lace up the back to cinch your waist as tight as you like. Next, tie on the apron and put on the headband. Finally, hold the feather duster to complete the look. When it comes to maintenance, always hand wash the costume to keep the vinyl patent PVC fabric in good condition. Avoid using harsh detergents as they may damage the fabric. And be gentle when lacing and unlacing the back to prevent the laces from breaking.
