Burlesque Burlesque is a new trend among belly dancers. It's only natural really: dancing, posing, dressing up in sexy and cute costumes - it was inevitable. As a dressmaker, the challenge of burlesque costumes calls to me! If you like vintage style items, but don't like the actual idea of second-hand underwear, maybe I can help. I have original patterns from the 1940s, 50's and 70's for camisoles, cami-knickers, French knickers and petticoats. Have a look and think about having something made especially for you. I also make and alter bridal wear - no, I haven't gone off the point - I mention it only because that most bridal wear at the moment has corset tops and bodices. I have a number of patterns for good-fitting bustiers and corset-style tops. Try out a simple option before you get into the hard-core, full-on, whaleboned, custom-fit corsets. Cheaper too.
Garters - elasticated in various colours £3.75
Colours available: white & gold; blue; ivory, pink. Such soppy colours, let me make some red and black, shocking pink and navy, black and gold trimmed with feathers! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1930 - 1940's Undies Made from an original 1940's pattern. These garments are washable crepe de chine or acetate/polyester linings which look the part. Bra - French knickers - cami-knickers - petticoat - nightdress. You state your colour and size. Photos to come.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1950's undies French knickers, cami-knickers and petticoats made from an original 50's pattern but in modern washable fabrics. You choose colour and size. Photos to come.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1970's undies Camisole tops (straight top or opera top) and French knickers - ideal for wearing under a corset. Black satin and red trim, white cotton with baby blue trim... you choose the colour and size. Photos to come.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Silk-painted images, hankies, scarves, shawls
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bustiers, corsets and bodices These are bustiers and bodices that can be worn as party clothes, or cut longer to resemble Victorian corsets. These come with zip-fastening and fake lacing. These have a moderate amount of boning for support. Buy your usual dress size (see size chart). Taking in, or letting out, for a closer fit, can easily be done at the side seams. It's virtually impossible to alter shop bought lingerie or costume corsets - this is a really easy option. Styles are:
These come in satin, velvet or silk (* there is a price variation). Available in black and white/ivory unless you choose another colour. No attachments for suspenders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Petticoats and Chemises These petticoats are grand for slipping under a corset. Elasticated waists are with sewn on flat elastic to lie flat. Length is roughly mid-thigh unless you choose otherwise, these are available in muslin, cotton or satin and tulle (net).
Skirt/Petticoat 1: full circle with graduated hem, hangs in deep folds. Available in satin or cotton and can be made in a double layer to have a different colour on the inside. Imagine black, lined with red or purple, v.goth! £25- £50. Skirt/petticoat 2; A3-tiered petticoat in either satin, cotton or tulle (net). £20 - £25 Chemise 1: Full length petticoat with shaped bust and ribbon straps, A-line skirt giving a full hem with lace trim.
