Burlesque-Influenced Lingerie - By: Jamie Hanson

Burlesque has a rich and diverse history that began with a self-explanatory satire of the grotesque and undignified. The most recognised aspect in popular culture today is the striptease, originating from and boosted in popularity by the Moulin Rouge in the late nineteenth century and beyond. The Lingerie and Sexy Outfits used in these shows were quickly stereotyped and have been a facet of the fashion world ever since.

American Burlesque allowed the term to catapult into public consciousness as it grew in popularity as a blend of satire, art and adult entertainment. Burlesque's loose definition in the public eye led to it being broadly viewed as low comedy or a simple striptease show. Proponents and participants though entertained very satisfied customers on a routine basis, finally breaking out from the underworld.

Sexy Lingerie

Burlesque-influenced Lingerie is currently making a comeback, with the advent of new age Burlesque stars like Dita von Teese. There is a budding desire to create similar Lingerie looks at home in the bedroom and as a part of Lingerie collections the world over. Fortunately, the designers have clocked on to this, and a mass of new items draw inspiration from the allure of the Burlesque show.

Burlesque Lingerie

The Burlesque style is channelled through Lingerie with the inclusion of Fringe Panties, Gloves, Stockings and even Nipple Pasties with tassels. There appears to be a world of option out there when it comes to Burlesque Lingerie, because at the heart of its success and implementation is an unrivalled tongue-in-cheek playfulness - the consequence of Burlesque's earlier satirical playground. A Feather Hat is also often a staple of the Burlesque Lingerie Outfit.

Sexy Corsets & Waist Cinchers

Another well-known piece of the Burlesque style is the Corset and Waist-cincher. Naturally parodying the naughty aspect of seduction with dark colours and temptingly close-to-revealling design strategies, Burlesque Lingerie revels in driving the target audience to distraction. In order to accomplish this against-the-grain sexual facetiousness, you need to work with the Lingerie too. Less is more when it comes to Burlesque influence - until the final act, that is.

Glitzy Lingerie

Burlesque is an artform that, rather than shying away from overt expression and outright glamour, embraces the heart-on-your-sleeve mentality and makes fun of itself at the same time. Wearing Burlesque-inspired Lingerie assumes a personal statement that you don't take yourself too seriously and, whilst being independent and in control, enjoy having fun on your own terms.

Lingerie Accessories

There is a lot to play with when it comes to formulating your own Burlesque-inspired outfit. Swarovski crystals and ostrich feathers are essential, as well as a selection of satin gloves, garter straps and the all-important aforementioned Nipple Pasties - which are, consequently, available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and styles. To make your performance something special, you might want to try a life-size champagne glass to pour yourself into. Nothing will captivate your audience as intensely, and, if that audience happens to be your partner, prepare to rock their world.
