The Wonderbra brand is really one of the most iconic fashion items of all time which definitely doesn’t need any introduction. The everyday brand has been serving up fabulously sexy lingerie and is (of course!) ultimately famous for its practical and super ‘uplifting’ bras! When Wonderbra hit the US market in 1994 with their Push-Up Plunge Bra, the pieces were so exceptional that had the bras flying off the shelves at a rate of 1 every 15 seconds. Talk about selling like hot cakes!

This time around, the infamous brand selected Dita Von Teese–the super-sultry star that oozes sexy old Hollywood glam appeal (and yes, she was briefly married for 13-months to Marilyn MANSON!). Burlesque Von Teese might be a raven-haired stunner now. But in actual fact, she used to be naturally blonde and get this-her real name is infact Heather Renee Sweet. It has been said that Von Teese named herself after the silent movie star Dita Parlo and then added a surname from the local phone book! Whereever it is she got her name from, I must admit that she certainly stands out among all the other celebs that strut the red carpet. With her ivory skin, hourglass figure and vintage-style clothes, she really does captivate attention everywhere she goes.

The limited edition lingerie collection entitled “Wonderbra by Dita Von Teese” happens to be Von Teese’s very own designs. The range boasts a unique combination of 1950s shapes and 1940s fabric with a variety of suspenders, thongs and bras which are comfortable enough for daily wear. Even Von Teese wears them regularly!

Von Teese mentioned that being the new face of Wonderbra is a dream come true, “I’ve always wanted to do something with lingerie and it was important for the finished product to be something I would wear myself. I really hope that with this new range I can share my passion for sensual, wearable lingerie that will add a touch of glamour to people’s lives.I love it when you can go about your daily business with the knowledge that you have a little secret of your own on underneath. Lingerie shouldn’t be something you just put on for your lover; you should do it for you. It’s not about seducing men, it’s about embracing womanhood.”

The Wonderbra website has been revamped to look appealingly sexy and interestingly interactive. Even Wonderbra’s European marketing director, Debbie Rix has said that “Dita understands how to make a woman feel sexy. She is a natural fit for the Wonderbra brand.” I couldn’t agree more! Although I would kill for a teeny-tiny waist like Dita Von Teese’s, I would really love to put on her luxurious, sexy designs-just to make ME feel special all over! Now if only this fab collection would be available here…sigh….
