Burlesque has a rich and diverse history that began with a simple satire of the grotesque and indignant. The most recognised aspect 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 performances 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 expanded in popularity as a combination of satire, art and adult entertainment. Burlesque's loose definition in the public eye led to it becoming generally viewed as low comedy or a simple striptease performance. Proponents and performers though entertained very appreciative customers on a regular basis, eventually emerging from the underworld.

Sexy Lingerie

Burlesque-influenced Lingerie is at present making a comeback, with the proliferation of new age Burlesque stars like Dita von Teese. There is a growing 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 a mass of new items garner inspiration from the attraction of the Burlesque show.

Burlesque Lingerie

The Burlesque style is channelled through Lingerie with the inclusion of Fringe Panties, Gloves, Stockings as well as 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 result of Burlesque's earlier satirical playground. A Feather Hat is also often an important part of the Burlesque Lingerie Outfit.

Sexy Corsets & Waist Cinchers

Another instantly recognisable 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 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, rather than conservatively avoiding overt expression and outright splendour, embraces the heart-on-your-sleeve mentality and self-deprecates itself at the same time. Sporting Burlesque-inspired Lingerie assumes a personal statement that you don't take yourself too seriously and, whilst being confident and in control, like to have fun on your own terms.

Lingerie Accessories

There is a great deal to play with when it comes to making up 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, as it happens, available in a huge 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.
