Shopping for Burlesque Costumes Online, March 2025

-
Image
Above: me in a costume I made by gluing appliques to a vintage bra. Photo by Dale Harris. This morning I posted a request on Instagram and Facebook for links to sites where people can buy ready-to-ship burlesque costumes and pasties, in an effort to help students quickly acquire costume pieces. Since there isn't really a "burlesque store," most of the people who responded are, as one might expect, individual creators who also make custom items. The folks I've listed in this post were all recommended! If you're a maker or have a recommendation, you can comment with your own or others' links using the guidelines at the end of this article.

Nobody is important enough to pander to or be insulted by). ...

The New York School of Burlesque is so excited and honored to have Alek Paliński as a guest author this month! With his 7 years of experience in burlesque, Alek has performed all over the world and contributed to the creation of many burlesque acts. He's worked with iconic burlesque performers, such as Dita Von Teese, Dirty Martini and Zelia Rose, to name a few. Enjoy Alek's comprehensive guide to filming your burlesque act for performance submissions. We get so many questions about this topic and this guide is just what performers need to put their best work forward when submitting for an audition or applying for a festival or gig. The world of burlesque continues to flourish, bringing more interest and a fresh wave of enthusiasm towards the art form. A new generation of performers combined with the post-pandemic reality in live entertainment makes it harder for the up-and-coming artists to book work. In-person auditions are increasingly rare. Video submissions have b...
