I'm hoping for a little help from people on the issue of where to find Burlesque style clothing. The reason for this request is in December (I'm planning ahead here) I will going to a Yule Ball and it's fancy dress, after last year's fun I want to go as something glamourous and unusual hence I'm wish to go as a Burlesque Girl.

I'll be honest I'm not size 8 to 14 I'm a tad bigger hence suggesting just two feather fans isn't really a goer.

I will of course be doing my own looking whether be it trawling though websites or looking in shops but some added help would be nice, even suggesting a website with some clear pictures of good costumes would be great as I know someone would can make up an outfit for me if necessary.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, I have decided to make the outfit it's a take off of a Christain Dior dress. I won't post details now as the SO looks at this site but I still can't find a glittery top hat. I'm looking for something like what Dita Von Teese wears on the front page of her website.

I haven't directly linked as it's not work safe.

Help?
