A maid from Victorian-era England. The above depicts a design from around the end of the 19th century. My personal idea of the standard maid. Cap and tied-back hair are the golden rule.

Clothes for dirtier jobs like scrubbing floors. A lightly-coloured dress with a large, thick, unornamented apron. Gives the impression of a hard-working woman.

A short-skirted maid as seen at Akiba. Also known as a "Japanese Maid." When combined with animal ears, it's the very strongest. Akiba Zettai Ryouiki is a popular maid cafe in Akibahara.

A maid min-maxed for sexiness. For some likely to be seen with a feather duster. Breasts and butt look like they're about to come out in full view at any moment. Also the case for sheer fabrics.

Designed to embody the most possible elements of traditional maid-ness. When thinking about the maid you find in Japanese manga, anime and videogames, this and the miniskirt are the two with the strongest impression.

The rule is that as long as she has white frills and an apron, she looks like a maid. Using a sarong in place of a skirt is super cute too.
