Thread: Burlesque Virgin

Good afternoon all you beautiful ladies (& gents),

I have my first ever burlesque night in a few weeks and am after a bit of newbie advice on what to wear. I LOVE corsets and have just bought a black pin stripped over bust one that I fancied for the night (I like pin strip for some reason) but I'm a bit unsure what to wear on my bottom half.

I did take a liking to this but now I'm so confused as there are many brilliant and different looks.

HELP!? :worried:

corset, pencil skirt, seamed stockings, highest heels you can manage and red lipstick is ALWAYS a winner in my opinion

Welcome to the forums! xx

wear whatever you feel beautiful in, burlesque shouldnt have a uniform, dont have to be retro/vintage be creative and glam. Personally I love wearing corsets with victorian style bloomers and big boots, but hey thats just me.

Hi Susy

If you like pin strip might I suggest going with a black pencil skirt, stockings and heels, maybe with a victorian or officey style blouse underneath the corset for a complete sexy-office worker look? :eyebrows:

I'm sure you'll look fabulous whatever you decide - hope to see you there! :excited:

As Sweet Scarlet said, wear what you feel beautiful in. I recently wore wide leg tailored trousers with a feather boa trimmed corset and felt fabulous. I was wearing gorgeous knickers underneath which helped!!

The pencil skirt is a good one but you could also go with tailored shorts or a different style of skirt. If you're feeling daring, frilly knickers never did any harm!

Whatever you go with, I hope you feel fabulous & have lots of fun!

A plain pencil skirt always look fabulous... and you'll feel naked at a burlesque night without some stockings! (I know I would, anyway.) As long as you feel comfortable with it you'll look great. Don't forget to tell us all about it afterwards, eh?

PS. is it Fanteaseya that you're going to? Might see you there!

like the others have already said a classic black pencil skirt with seamed stockings, killer heels and red lipstick will look great! but just wear what you feel comfortable and sexy in! personally i love the look of pencil skirts but, i would never wear one because my lower legs are by far my worst feature and it would highlight them too much :cry: i like peridot's idea of wearing it with wide trousers too!

Aw thank you all so much.

It is Fanteaseya I'm heading to and am very very excited about it too.
