A satin maid costume with an open, ribbon-tied back reads as considered from every angle, not just face-on. The halter bodice sits in black satin with a scalloped white lace trim, tying at the back in a wide white ribbon bow. The matching skirt is edged in the same lace, with wrist cuffs finishing the look. It's a costume built to look as good from behind as it does from the front.
The open back is what gives this costume a second good angle instead of just one. A lot of maid-styled costumes are designed to be seen from the front only, with a plain or hidden closure at the back. Here the ribbon tie is left visible and finished in a bow, so it reads as a deliberate design choice rather than a fastening to hide. Worth knowing before you order: the bodice is halter-necked with an open back, so coverage through the back is minimal.
The bodice sits close across the front with a halter neckline and an open, ribbon-tied back, and the skirt is a short flared cut, so coverage is close through the front and minimal through the back. Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order, and if you're between sizes, size up. Fit shifts a little with torso length, and that extra bit of room tends to sit better than going too snug.
It's a smooth satin fabric, finished with scalloped lace trim. We'd suggest a gentle hand wash in cool water and laying it flat to dry, away from direct heat, which keeps the shape and finish intact for longer. Check the care label on your own garment as well.
This is the costume for when you want the back of the outfit to matter as much as the front. The ribbon tie is a detail most similar costumes skip entirely.
What size should I order in this satin maid costume?
Compare your measurements to our size chart before you order. The back ties with a ribbon, so it has a little more give than a fixed seam if you're between sizes.
Does the ribbon tie adjust the fit or is it just for looks?
It's the actual closure at the back, not a decorative add-on over a separate seam.
Are the wrist cuffs elastic or do they fasten separately?
We can't confirm the closure from what's available to us, so we'd point you to the photo for the style.
