Nurse's Costumes still a Big Hit

So how did this ultra-popular fantasy come about? It’s probably due, in part, to the portrayal of nurses in the days of vaudeville. The super sexy nurse was one of vaudeville’s most common running gags. As with today’s nurse costume, the actresses would wear a low-cut, sexually suggestive version of the standard nurse uniform. When she entered the room, the men on stage would holler “Hello, nurse!” as a catcall.

When you think of a nurse costume you probably think of the classic version:

• Tight white mini-dress

• White nurse’s cap

• Stethoscope

• Fishnet stockings

• High heels

The vast majority of nurse uniforms are white and trimmed with red. They typically feature a red cross on the front. But in recent years nurse lingerie has really branched out. Gothic and fetish-style lingerie remains a popular subset of standard intimate apparel. To fit this trend, you can find Gothic nurse uniforms. Most of the common fantasy lingerie costumes are neither naughty or nice. These fetish nurses don’t fit that mold. They’re dark and seductively evil.



Instead of white cotton, Gothic nurse costumes are made from black material, usually leather, rubber, or PVC. They feature Gothic detailing, such as corsets, chains, and metal rings. In place of high heels, these nurse costumes are paired with chunky knee-high black boots. And of course, the fishnet stockings are black, not white.

Nurses aren’t the only medical profession with the potential for sex appeal. Along the same line as nurse uniforms are sexy doctor and pharmacist fantasy uniforms.

Regardless of which style you choose, a survey of British men clearly shows that nurse costumes are can’t-miss fantasy lingerie.

French maids came in second in the survey mentioned above. Forty percent of British men say it’s the profession they fantasize about most. The French maid has been a sexy symbol for a very long time. As with nurses, there’s a bit of history that can trace the roots of this sexual fantasy.

The typical French maid costume (black dress, white trim, apron, etc) derives from costumes worn by actresses portraying maids in burlesque shows. Burlesque routines were highly sexually charged, and French maids were a staple of bedroom farces. These shows set the stage for the French maid fantasy. This sexy caricature of household help evolved into one of today’s most popular fantasy costumes.

As you know, fantasy lingerie can be just about as revealing and risqué as you like. If you’re feeling really adventurous, go for a French maid costume made entirely out of sheer fabric. They’re the same style and color as the typical uniform, but entirely see-through.
