Lateafternoonblog.com gives a simple Step 1-6 on how to do a milkmaid braid.
1. Divide your hair into 2 sections, part down the middle.
2. Braid both into 2 loose braids. I like to braid mine under for a Dutch style braid, but it makes no difference.
3. Pull one braid over to the other ear and secure with a bobby pin.
4. Pull the second braid over the first one pulling the ends towards the back of head. Secure with a bobby pin.
5. Tuck in your ends under each braid and secure.
6. Add more pins if it feels loose and hairspray.


However I do want to add to soften the braids more, use a fine tooth comb end and pull segments of hair out slightly to loosen & soften so braid is not perfect.

Enough talking about it, now I need to try it for myself!
