Sequin embellished corsets, long, silk gloves, elaborate
feather head dresses and sheer stockings; the art of burlesque dancing is all
about fashion and how women wear this decadent style with confidence.
Burlesque dancer, teacher and advocate for this liberating
fashion trend Trixie Blue talks about the essential relationship between
burlesque fashion and dance.
She said: “Burlesque attire is crucial in enhancing the
performance style. The way garments are removed in burlesque is what makes up
the act as a whole”.
The seductively slow pull of a satin glove or rolling down
of a seamed black stocking can be both alluring and empowering in one single
moment.
Trixie said: “The fashion is incredibly elegant from the smallest
detail, like the make and stitch of your stockings to an over the top
rhinestone head dress”.
