I also discovered a while ago that undies of this style are generally referred to as “Tap Pants” in the States; when I first spotted this term in a vintage Facebook group (and believe me, people in vintage Facebook groups know their stuff!

Ooh, La La! – The Vintage Woman

This dress has the timeless A-line skirt style and cinched waist, but with sexy PVC to give it a kinky twist. This truly was the Mid-Century wonder fabric, a good example of scientific developments influencing fashion, and exploded into the 1950s in the form of full wide petticoats to go under the “New Look” style dresses (thank you to Christian Dior for introducing the flattering, feminine shape using obscenely generous amounts of fabric to twirl away the deprivation of the war years! During the Second World War, necessity became a big factor in how fashion evolved; material was rationed, the Utility scheme was introduced, and a pair of knickers would have cost you 3 clothing coupons.Maybe they are able to complete these humdrum tasks with such ease because they know they look good while they're doing it. To me, the 1980s became the second heyday of this style of lingerie with glamour models like Samantha Fox bringing our traditional French Knickers into a whole new world of cheeky sexuality, always with a hint of silky, lacy romance and opulence. Wear the full attire, or simply pair the headband, collar and garter with the string bra and thong for an even sexier time.

French Maid Costumes - Sexy French Maid Costume

We have a variety of different French Maid outfits, ranging from the classic Maid in France costume, complete with a feather duster, and our oh so popular flirty French maid costume. To me, this conjures up the silky pants that are high-waisted, loose-fitting and with the silhouette of shorts, often with embroidery and a pretty lace trim. This set is super fun and flirty, and with frills, bows and beaded detail, you will look just the part! By the 1920s, skirts had shortened to the knee, the body shape to aspire to was boy-like with no curves and fabric had become sheerer so lingerie styles progressed accordingly which is where our ‘French Knickers’ style comes in, alongside Camiknickers which combined the bodice and knickers into one garment. This was the heyday of French Knickers and Camiknickers, made in silk or rayon and beautifully shaped, with little side button fastenings at the waist, always with the wide legs and often decorated with embroidery and lace trim.A life-long collector of all things old and glamorous, Susie started her own vintage clothing business Wake Up Little Susie in 2010. French Maid lingerie can come in many different forms, from kawaii and cute to provocative and cruel (anyone with a PVC fetish reading this?

The sexy uniforms come in sizes ranges from extra small to plus size so you have tons of sexy outfits to pick from.

By the 1930s there was a vogue for bias-cut clothes and material cut like this tended to elongate the figure and lingerie became slinkier and more figure-hugging. I think one could be forgiven for assuming that knickers, or underpants as we know them today, have been around in a similar form since the dawn of time but not so! That said, if you do want to be the Belle of the French Maid ball, the combination of raunchy teddy and girlie satin apron is a winner.
