Burlesque Dancer Dita Von Teese just launched her Muse collection. The Launch capsule collection features 5 pieces including vintage-inspried dresses and a tulle layered trench coat. They include couture detailing and grosgrain ribbon that cinches the waist to create a fab silhouette. I’m bummed out because currently it’s only available in Melbourne,Australia exclusively at David Jones. Boo, but hopefully she brings it to the states soon. I love a fab black dress and I think I just counted 10 in my closet lol. My hubby always say, well how many darn black dresses do you need? I tell em, you can’t have enough of them! The line will carry sizes 8-20, nice and the garments were named by her.Here are the styles she has listed below! Congrats Dita!
“Offering a collection that caters to women of all sizes is very important to me. Muse is designed t complement a multitude of body shapes, so every woman can celebrate her natural beauty and feel sexy in a gorgeous dress.”~Dita Von Teese
The VIP Coat
“I’ve always said that the key to achieving glamour on the go is to have a very chic coat. I collect coats from the 1950s, because the hourglass fit and flare silhouette is so flattering. I wanted to bring this shape to the classic black trench coat, and this one has wonderful details like a hidden pocket, a tulle lining for a bit of volume, and the lovely grosgrain waist ribbon, which is a tribute to vintage couture. I might add that one of my favorite tools of seduction is a sexy coat, which I wear with nothing but black stockings and lingerie underneath!”
The Bon Bon Dress
“This is a combination of two of my vintage dresses. The luxurious velvet ribbon straps tied neatly in a bow is a detail from a 1930s gown that I own. The inspiration for the fabric comes from a favorite 1940s dress in my closet. I had the idea of reworking this beautiful print with my signature retro-styled half moon manicure. It was 20 years ago that I first discovered this vintage beauty method of manicure by closely studying vintage glamour photos, and I’ve been painting my nails this way ever since. It’s an obsession of mine, so I was delighted to find a way to work it into the silk print!”
The Follow Me Dress
“This is designed after a dress from the 1950s that I have worn over and over for about eleven years, and I always get compliments on it. It is timeless and always chic, which makes it a perfect wardrobe staple. I like to wear it with different vintage brooches from my collection on the shoulder. I have worn this dress over the years on red carpets, to events, parties and for many a romantic rendezvous. We remade this dress with a beautiful silk lining and silk chiffon, and I’m especially happy to have an improved version of the original dress in my wardrobe!”
The Second Look Dress
“There is a very simple, sleek black vintage dress I wear often, and one of my most elegant friends loves this dress, often stating it is so simple, yet it is the height of chic, with nothing to distract from the beauty of woman. I love to wear extravagant clothes, but every woman must remember to also have something simple but sexy to wear. I called this the “Second Look” dress because it may not seem like much, but when you slip into it with it’s figure-hugging power- mesh interior, you’re bound to get a second look!”
The Showcase Dress
“I have a vintage dress in my collection that has a very deep sculpted neckline, and I would often wear it with various different beautiful bras underneath it to give it a sexy and unique look as the lace teasingly peeks out of the top. Sometimes I would wear it simply as is, with it’s deep plunge “showcasing” my decollatage. With a below the knee hemline, it’s the perfect way to bring sensuality and sophistication together.”
