Burlesque is a theatrical aesthetic out of variety show entertainment, built on corsets, feathers, and vintage glamour, originating in the Victorian era and revived in modern times around performative sexuality. Corsets and bustiers shape the body. Fishnet stockings and garter belts go below. Feathered robes or fans work as props and garments at once, finished with platform heels, long gloves, and rhinestone accessories.
