^^^ Yup - but which is which? I can see it either way.
You could say the 'Lady' would have the fancy lingerie - and also, the dark haired woman is on top - and the 'Lady' of the house would be in charge right?
But conversely, maids are usually seen to wear black stockings - and often suspenders, too - also, Ladies of rich houses in anime are often depicted as blond - some kinda link with rich/upper class, and western/European ideals of the upper class. And lastly, you quite often see role reversal in these kinda pairings, where the normally in charge Lady, is dominated by her maid in the bedroom.
Soo - like I said - it works either way round - who do you see the Maid / Lady, in that scenario?

^Top has a maid's headband, and IMO the role of bottom suits the lady better since she's a "pillow princess"

I'd be hard-pressed to call that a maid's headband in particular. Traditionally manga/anime shows that as a black band with a white frill. This just looks more like a regular headband that anyone might have.

^ Yeah, they're traditionally black and white, but they don't have to be. This one looks like it has black lace frills, and I don't think a regular headband would be so decorative.

Ornamental headbands are not uncommon in manga, I too do not think it is a maid's headband. Besides, the blonde girl is also wearing a frilly cuff on her wrist, that is a maid thing. So is that frilly what-you-call-it, on her thigh. Compare with these examples.

^ I was gonna mention those too. So I think the artist has deliberately mixed hints that both of them could be the maid or lady to keep us guessing. It then becomes more 'which would you RATHER see as which'?

Just in case it matters in any way, as the person who started this thread of comments, I was picturing the bottom being the maid because of the wristband and the garter.
Also: Lady is dominant and in charge, so she's on top. Maid is submissive and wants to serve her mistress, so she's on bottom. I mean, just look at that smile. She wants to make her Lady happy!

I'm not so sure the one on top is the dominant one in this case, either. She looks a little nervous to me, while the one on the bottom is just staring up expectantly. To me, that's more of a "well, what are you waiting for" look than an eager-to-please look.
Maybe it's one of those things where different people see different emotions in their expressions, like a yuri Mona Lisa.

^ Yeah, with that look on her face and the leg wrap, the bottom one leaves a far more dominant impression, in my opinion. The image has me thinking she is the one leading and holding the top girl in position.

I was searching for something in the fanart section and found y'all talking so I think the blonde one is the maid because maids usually aren't allowed NOT to have their hair tied up usually. It's very rare to see a maid with long flowing hair because it's considered to be a burden while doing maid stuff like cleaning cooking etc.

The lady of the house and her maid.
