Dita Von Teese corset. Where to Buy?

[invunrible]

Hi all.
I saw in the news today Dita Von Teese with Richard Branson promoting the 10 years of Atlantic airways. I am in awe with her costume.

Its a red "Vegas Showgirl" corset and not much else, but I love how the corset follows through the crotch, so not needing panties or anything.

Does anyone know where to buy such a garment or even the name for them, I have seen Lady Gaga in something similar in her paparazzi video when she is falling, but the closest I can find is a YSL Leather leotard corset.

Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks

That's not the corset you're looking at. It's a one-piece swimsuit-type affair. It looks like it's boned, but I suspect that a light corset is underneath, and you're seeing the corset's bones through the red garment.

I don't see any hint of laces in the other photos, so my bet is that she's wearing that outfit over a corset. She does wear corsets on a regular basis, and rather tight ones at that - comparable to mine. Tighter than suggested in the photos, anyway.

Even if it would be a corset, as highly unlikely as it is, it has to be a custom, one-off job made just for her.

Thanks for your speedy reply Jenny.
I haven't given up all hope yet. I trawled google and found this, Looks like it is laced.

found at http://www.3am.co.uk/dita-von-teese-and ... ary/22858/

but could still be over a corset if buttoned like this from Strumpet and Pink.


Looks like Thierry Mugler has made similar garments for Ladygaga and Beyonce(Beyonce's is a leotard over a corset), but if Tierry did make this, I am sure it will be way out of my budget, so I just have to dream.

I think I will be investigating how to make such a garment next. Bring out the engineering design skills .

Thanks

On first glance - and probably owing to the limited resolution of the image - it does look like it's laced. But where are the laces tied off?

There is no indication of anything of the sort at the customary place - at waist level in the back. No dangling laces. Methinks it's decorative cording sewn into the garment on either side of a zipper. Closer inspection of her backside (the most obvious feature in this photo ) reveals a distinct thickness around the leg holes, and a sharp transition to the crotch panel, which is a sure sign of a corset underneath the red garment.

As I suspected, this is made to look like a corset, like in burlesque costumes, complete with light boning (visible in front), but Dita is wearing a real corset underneath.

Nice little case of CSI - Corset Scene Investigation.
