The Art and Design of Lingerie with the Legendary Dita Von Teese

[@andrww9272]

I could tell that Dita is very knowledgeable of vintage lingerie and her line of clothing. Great to see her own private vintage pieces as well. Doris was also an amazing interviewer. Such a special episode!

[@thewaywewore7371]

Thanks for that amazing review! Doris

[@b.mcknight8686]

Two of my favorite people ❤️. I have a funny story about Dita, the first time I ever saw her was in Playboy (my Grandfather's copy). I tore her centerfold out, and kept it, as if my Poppop wouldn't notice. I didn't get into trouble for taking it, but instead gave my family five minutes of hope that I'd be straight. It wasn't a sexual thing, I just thought she was beautiful. I was ten years old when I did that, and my family still makes fun of me for it to this day. My Grandmother says "for a week or two, we thought maybe you weren't gonna be gayer then a handbag full of rainbows"

Did you mean she said you were gonna be vs weren’t?

@@thewaywewore7371 Before I came out as transgender when I was a teenager my family thought I was just a really effeminate gay boy. Apparently they all knew from the time I was a toddler, but that one incident made them think I liked women

I think they kept the backs open at the top for stretch, like an open gusset.

[@rebeccazeidenberg9871]

@@thewaywewore7371 hi Doris! As an archivist and lingerie-fanatic I'd really love it if you could pass along the message to Dita that it would be incredibly valuable to somehow record an oral history with her French hosiery expert friend. It so often happens that information gets lost with time and it can be incredibly difficult to retrace it, if at all.

Goes way beyond acid free tissue & how to properly fold & store textiles. 2) Helpful “How to” information: -Cleaning different fabrics -Spot removal -Tear & hole repair -Reweaving knits, woolens, suiting, etc. -Lace repair -How to conserve -How to display -How to alter 3) List of expert repair specialists: -beading -lace -moth holes -millinery cleaning & re-shaping -re-lining of items we wear -sourcing vintage buttons, feathers, ribbons, silk flowers, laces, etc. -Leather re-conditioning & cleaning -Alterations Love what you do for our community of vintage/antique collectors. I’ve been addicted since about age 4-5. Mary Poppins. My mother’s collection of Nancy Ann Storybook dolls from her early childhood. My mothers, grandmothers, and great grandmothers hats, gloves, purses, and of course jewelry! Yes, I was lucky enough to spend time with 3 of my great grandmothers!! My purchases veer toward the Victorian pieces, as well as suits from the 30’s & 40’s, which I wear. Hats from every decade from 1850-1950.

I found her book in the library and read it all in one night. There are countless things that I still do from her book as self care every week. I know I'm not feeling myself or taking care of myself if I find myself not painting my toes. She takes you back to the magical place that being a women or being feminine feels like. When I was young and would look at my mother getting ready with all her creams and butters and lace and heels and to me, it was a wonderous thing that one day I would be able to be this magical mystery of tricks and illusions and delicious reality. I would recommend her book to anyone looking to feel magical in a not so magical world.

KZbin recommended me this video because i sew lingerie as my hobby. Only after 10 minutes of this interview i paused and went to google Dita's brand to see more details. Very impressive!
