Madame Risquée (WHOIS) often gets asked what you gals (and guys) should wear to a Burlesque event. besides fun and sexy corsets plus mini hats or vintage style clothing, there are more options. The madame has asked clothing shops owners about their idea what to wear and has some ideas herself:

Fifties style

Burlesque is a flashback to the 1950s. WOII was finished and the good times arrived. The time that smoking and alcohol was healthy. The time of romantic and an explosion of very feminine fashion styles, decolleté, pencil & circle skirts with sexy stockings and high heels. Red nails & lipstick.

Historical twist

Burlesque clothing is sexy, flirty and glamourous!

Let your feminity shine in 40's/50's wobble dresses with fancy fascinators and shimmy away in the smoky spotlight of the stage.
Or give it a historical twist, like a sexy courtisane from the 18th Century, or bustle it up with a pair of pasties and a Victorian look.

Anything that sparkles, has feathers, high heels, long gloves and shows your curves can give you that ultimate Burlesque feeling!
Welcome all Femme Fatales, Bustle Ladies, Courtisanes, Mobsters and all you other creatures who fancy to shake a tail feather!

Dress UP

Combine 50's cut dresses with garter-belts and stockings. Play with your femininity to show just that little bit of your feminine weapons. Be the gorgeous wife of the big Mafia boss...Or be the showgirl he secretly admires and go for corsets, feathers, sequins, and again, suspender belts and stockings! Above all...Play with your femininity and sensuality. Burlesque is about playing with your sexuality in a naive, playful elegant way!

PS: Do NOT forget to pay attention to your hair and make-up, that gives you the finishing touch. Check tutorials on You-Tube (use 50's or Pin-Up hair and make-up as keywords).

Madame Risquée's statement on what to wear:

Dress up fancy, in costume: chique, suave, funny, funky, sexy, freaky, rock and roll, glamorous.
Themes to consider: Golden Era Movie Star, Tropical, Vintage; Roaring 20s, Flashy 40s, Flirty 50s, Sexy 60s...even Risquée Renaissance! ... silent-movie, diva, glam, pin-up, masked, Hollywood... Simply enjoy dressing up.

Also remember that real sexyness does not come from the outside but from the inside (self-assurance), SO dress (UP!) the way YOU fancy!
