I doubt it would be the elves either because they're "lower" so only good for skivvy work. A maid who dressed the family would more than likely be presentable and respectable.

Which leaves me with the notion of each dormitory having one assigned maid to help them dress and undress and that poor young lady being overworked and stressed and resentful and probably quite a fun character to play. I doubt that maid would be allowed to go to classes alongside the other students but maybe the matrons teach them some basic reading, writing, arithmetic to help them get on in life?

That's a fair point on elves - like being too low on the totem pole to dress UC girls.

Maybe there is some 'deal' with the blishwick school or something - so girls with some training as ladies maids do a year or two in the Hogwarts dorms helping the UC girls for experience before getting a proper job with a family or in the hope of bonding with a girl whose family might take her on full time after the girl debuts?
