1920s Maids and Butlers

Instead of the stereotypical flapper or 20s gangster costumes, try a roaring 20s maid costume accessorizing with a white cotton apron. Wear a black calf length dress and a white "muffin cap" and you can create the look of the prim and proper chambermaid that 10,443 1920's homes were clamoring for! However, if it's the sexy bedchamber maid look your going for, pick up some fish net stockings, a couple of "hot" garters, grab that feather duster, and voila'! Here's a little hint: If you plan on lighting candles for the bachelor Master of the house, dip them in salt solution or mild detergent for a few hours and place them in the freezer overnight - this will extend the life of the candles.
