Maid Rules

A maid must always be dressed to the fullest possible and practical this includes:

• A dress, extending to at least the knees for standard duties and mid-shin for entertaining.
  • A longer dress may be required for certain occasions, for example a gala or other formal event.
  • Unless otherwise noted, this dress must be either black or a dark navy.
• A petticoat.
  • This should extend far enough that when looking from slightly below the ruffels are visible, but not while at a conversational distance if both parties are standing.
• A blouse under the dress, either a short sleeved one for standard duties, weather permitting, or a long sleeved one otherwise.
  • For most occasions, this blouse should be white.
  • For times when the maid should not bring attention to itself, this blouse should be the same color as the dress.
• Gloves.
  • These gloves should always be the same color as the blouse.
  • For cleaning, these gloves should be either disposable nitrile or reusable latex, depending on the duty, when cloth gloves would be unsuitable.
  • Unless it is the above exception, these gloves should be made of either simple cotton or satin polyester.
  • With the exception of cleaning gloves, these gloves should extend at least to the elbow or the sleeves of the blouse, whichever they would meet first.
• Collar.
  • For most purposes, this color should be stainless steel. For entertaining or formal events, it may be replaced with a choaker if needed.
  • Unless it would be unsuited for the context, the collar should be lockable and have an attachment point for a leash.
• Cuffs.
  • These cuffs must be lockable and, when possible, have an attachment point for chains or similar to bind the maid.
  • These cuffs must be either plain stainless steel or match the dress if in fabric.
• Bloomers.
  • NOTE: MAID DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE BLOOMERS TO FULFIL THIS WITH. IGNORE UNTIL BLOOMERS MAY BE AQUIRED.
  • This note may be ignored if instead of bloomers the maid is wearing a diaper. However, bloomers are still encouraged as a diaper cover if thights or leggings are not also worn.
• Leggings/tights.
  • When the dress is not long enough to account for the weather, the maid may choose to add legging or tights to help keep warm.
  • If these are worn, they must either match the dress or socks/stockings being worn, or must be skin toned so as not to disrupt the uniform.
  • When worn, these leggings or tights may go over the corset for longer shifts, but for shorter shifts of if the maid is diapered, they must go under.
• Corset.
  • The corset must be cinched as tight as practical for the duties being performed, or as tight as possible for punishment or when the maid is being displayed.
  • The corset must go under the blouse, but over the slip and bloomers/diaper.
• Slip.
  • The slip should be of simple satin and the same color as the dress or blouse.
  • The slip should go over the bloomers/diaper, leggings/tights, and bra, but below everything else.
• Socks/stockings.
  • If the maid is wearing any kind of boot, these should extend above the top ridge of the boots and the knees.
  • These socks must match either the blouse or the dress in color, or be a mix of the both of them in a simple pattern such as horizontal stripes.
  • These socks may have lace trip around the top edge, or directly above the ankle for longer socks.
  • These socks must always extend above the ankle.
• Shoes/boots.
  • For all duties save cleaning chores, the shoes or boots must have a heel of at least 3 inches.
    • For cleaning chores, the shoes or boots must have a heel of at least half an inch.
    • For pony or ballet style boots, the heel itself may be omitted, but the heel of the foot must rest at least 3 inches above the ball of the foot.
  • These shoes or boots must be of appropriate style for a maid and match the dress.

Additional clothing items may be required based on duty. For scheduled shifts the maid must be fully dressed before the scheduled time unless the organizer wishes to watch the maid dress to ensure all garments are present and properly worn.

A maid should always seek to have proper posture to appear as elegant as possible, even while performing duties while there are no supervisiors. A maid’s posture should include:

• A tall spine and neck.
• Feet in parallel with thighs pressed together while standing or sitting.
• Hands placed over the naval with one hand over the other, both palms facing the maid.
• Shoulders as low as possible given what the maid’s hands must be doing.
• Feet moving either in a single line, or along two parallel lines while walking.

The maid must being proper posture as soon as the clothes are first layed out for dressing, and must continue until the whole uniform, save what the maid will continue to wear after the shift completes, are neatly put away or placed in the laundry hamper, whichever is suited for the specific article.
