“Vain trifles as they seem, clothes have, they say, more important offices than to merely keep us warm. They change our view of the world and the world’s view of us.”

― Virginia Woolf, Orlando

The Lady’s Maid has stepped a rather hesitant toe into the 21st century in order to bring you dressing advice alongside some top tips on how best to organise and care for your clothes and accessories. She knows what to wear for every occasion and how to dress to look your best. If you would like to step into the (perfectly polished) shoes of Downton’s Lady Mary, and have your very own Anna to deal with all your wardrobe woes, then look no further, The Lady’s Maid is here to help!
