Secrets in Lace at LBF 2009

Over the past 5 years Secrets In Lace, the World’s leading manufacturer of Vintage Inspired Lingerie & Stockings has sponsored many Burlesque events and worked with numerous performers in the field. Dita Von Teese, a long time Secrets In Lace customer worked with SIL to produce her exclusive line of 100% Nylon Stockings and today wears Secrets In Lace Stockings in her acts and daily routine.

The London Burlesque Festival is an amazing event in every sense of the word, which is why Secrets in Lace has partnered up with LBF 2009 for another year of glitz & glamour, helping bring the Nation’s capital the ‘Best in Burlesque’ from around the globe.

Last year the crowds were awesome and the performers that Secrets In Lace sponsored were outstanding. I must say the stockings added a subtle attention to detail that made their acts “pop” on stage.

Clearly, Chaz Royal & SIL will continue to make the London Burlesque Festival the premier Burlesque event not only in London, but anywhere, hands down!
