This costume is designed for the character Cassie, the new housemaid. this custom made uniform consists of the dress, the apron, and the cap, all rigged to be quick changed.

The show is set in December of 1815, with all the maids outfitted in empire-waisted garments. The dress features a snap-on, drop front with a hidden zipper closure, and period-accurate sleeves.

The dress is a cotton stripe, the apron is a cotton pin-tucked voile, and the cap featured a vintage crochet doily on silk gauze, lined in Italian tulle to match the actress’ hair color, emphasizing the transparency, and secured by toupee clips.
