Burlesque-Influenced Lingerie
Burlesque has a rich and diverse history that began with a simple satire of the grotesque and indignant. The most famous component in popular culture today is the striptease, originating from and popularised by the Moulin Rouge in the late nineteenth century and beyond. The Lingerie and Sexy Outfits used in these shows were hastily stereotyped and have been a facet of the fashion industry ever since.
American Burlesque prompted the term to catapult into public consciousness as it grew in popularity as a combination of satire, art and adult entertainment. Burlesque’s loose definition in the public eye led to it becoming generally associated with low comedy or a simple striptease show. Proponents and participants though entertained very appreciative customers on a regular basis, eventually 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 urge to create similar Lingerie styles at home in the bedroom and as a part of Lingerie collections the world over. Fortunately, the designers have clocked on to this, and an array of new items garner inspiration from the attraction of the Burlesque show.
Burlesque Lingerie
The Burlesque style is applied to Lingerie with the inclusion of Fringe Panties, Gloves, Stockings as well as Nipple Pasties with tassels. There seems to be a world of choice out there when it comes to Burlesque Lingerie, because at the core of its success and implementation is an unrivalled tongue-in-cheek playfulness – the consequence of Burlesque’s original satirical playground. A Feather Hat is also often a staple of the Burlesque Lingerie Outfit.
Sexy Corsets & Waist Cinchers
Another well-known aspect 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 thrives on driving the intended audience to distraction. In order to accomplish this against-the-grain sexual cheekiness, you need to use 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, instead of conservatively avoiding overt expression and outright splendour, embraces the heart-on-your-sleeve sentiment and self-deprecates 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, like to have fun on your own terms.
Lingerie Accessories
There is a great deal to work with when it comes to formulating your own Burlesque-inspired outfit. Swarovski crystals and ostrich feathers are essential, as well as a collection of satin gloves, garter straps and the vitally important aforementioned Nipple Pasties – which are, consequently, available in a wide range of sizes, shapes and styles. To top your performance off, you might want to get hold of a life-size champagne glass to pour yourself into. Nothing will impress your audience as intensely, and, if that audience just so happens to be your partner, prepare to rock their world.
