Fantasy Lingerie in Burlesque Shows

Kuhmillion Lingerie is a supporter of local burlesque performance here in the Austin area. This fantastic form of retro style entertainment and art is one of the things that keeps our business going. You can find burlesque shows in any major U.S. city these days and we highly recommend that you check one out. These shows are always a lot of fun and make a great date night too!

Burlesque shows feature talented girls, each with their unique routines, style and dress. It's amazing the variety of creativity that the performers put on display. We love the lingerie and the whole fantasy aspect of the costumes. It's one of the reasons we started up Kuhmillion, to share this exciting artform with everyone, and help you bring a little lingerie fantasy into your own boudoir!

We have many different styles of lingerie that are frequently incorporated into burlesque shows that we attend. Take a look at a few of our styles, mix and match and find the style that's right for you. The burlesque girls do the same for themselves, creating a look that feels just right for them.

Burlesque goes back to the 19th century when the iconic corset was a staple foundation garment. Back then, a corset wasn't anything special, so the burlesque shows had to incorporate a bit of fantasy into it by wearing more colorful and ornate pieces. This little candy colored beauty is a retro corset that harkens back to the Moulin Rouge era of burlesque. The bold colors, the ribbon, the pleating along the bustline and the accentuated hip panels really make this corset stand out. Add in a few accessories and this lingerie corset becomes a fantasy outfit, perfect for your boudoir.

Many performers that we see in Austin will start out with two or three layers of lingerie, and over the course of a number, take each layer off in a tantalizing reveal. This beautiful striped matching set would come near the end of a number. The stripes and lush fabrics are very eye-catching and the little details really give it the fantasy burlesque look that so many people are looking for. Take a closer look at the chiffon ruffles along the top of the bra and the little bow on the front of the panty. We love this one and with a few of our accessories, you'll look like a burlesque showgirl too!

Let's talk about accessories. The fantasy look that you'll see at a burlesque show is really just a style. The main outfit can be just about any lingerie that we sell here at Kuhmillion. It's the accessories that sell it! Pair any simple set with one of our bustle skirts and you will have a look that goes back to the Belle Epoche in Paris. Many of our burlesque friends leave out these more ornate skirts and like to focus on the underwear and corset. There really are a wide range of performer styles and tastes, and it's up to you. But don't forget about gloves and hosiery. These are really a must-have if you want to go for the burlesque show look. A typical performance involves the seductive tease of removing the gloves and stockings one at a time. We have many different styles of hosiery and gloves that all have the retro burlesque look.

And, of course do not forget that this style is about the fantasy. Fantasy makeup and hair accessories like these fascinators will really make you ready for your own burlesque show!
