Maid to measure

For those mesmerised by all things maid related, costumes can be picked up in plenty of Tokyo retailers for a pretty good price.

As far as real fanatics go however, order-made outfits are the only option, with Japanese company Candy Fruit kindly coming up with the goods — culling together a classy collection of costumes that includes apparel perfect for a leisurely lunch outside.

Or for the less active, there are ensembles better suited to slouching on a sofa in a semi-vegetative state; although the application form’s request of “If an order is placed, please be exciting and wait” could prove problematic for some purchasers.

Alternatively, if it’s simply a night at home watching anime, then the addition of a nice set of stockings and extra frills would seem to be more suitable.

The ‘please be exciting’ prompt possibly not needed.
