Get the Look: DIY Burlesque Performer

This Halloween, if you’re looking to stand out from the crowd, why not create a look of your own with a do-it-yourself costume? The other day, we stumbled upon this picture of a darling French burlesque performer. We love how this vintage look is timeless, yet super sexy. Altogether, this Moulin Rouge inspired ensemble says “va-va-voom!” Today, we want to show you how you can recreate a similar look with lingerie and accessories found on our website so that you can have a one-of-a-kind look this Halloween!

For the main portion of the costume, you’ll need a red corset and a fluffy tutu. Luckily, we carry plenty of both! We love the way this contrast lace corset gives a bold burst of color while it accentuates your figure. For the tutu, we recommend stacking one tutu over another to create a two-tone effect that is similar to that of our inspired look.

As far as the accessories go, these are essential to making your costume distinguishable! Starting from the top, you’ll need a satin top hat to recreate that vintage look. We love this mini satin top hat which is reminiscent of a Moulin Rouge performer. For the gloves, try a pair of elbow length lace gloves for a sultry burlesque look.

Complete your burlesque costume with garters and thigh high stockings. We love how this adorable gartered ruffle panty provides fashion and functionality. After all, if you’re going to show off your derriere, do it with style! Finish it off with these burlesque-inspired thigh highs and you’ll be ready to can-can with the best of ‘em!
