You remind of a Halloween party I went to a long, long time ago (OK, 35 years ago) and far, far away (OK, only 250 miles).
I went as a French maid, with a costume I put together myself, not a package from a shop. I borrowed one of my wife's strapless bras, men's high cut undershorts, lacy black leotard with spaghetti straps, semi-transparent miniskirt, fishnet stockings (actually pantyhose), little lace cups and a lace hat. Men's shoes, no makeup, no wig.
I won the prize for the best costume. The only thing they had to decide was if it was the best boy's costume or the best girl's.
A guy stuck a dollar bill in my bra.
There was a GG who also came as a French maid, but she couldn't find fishnet stockings. We had fun comparing where we got the parts of our costume.
Back then, I wasn't even out to myself. The only reason I got to do it is that my wife was the butler.
