Here’s a unique idea – lingerie made from balloons! American designer and balloon enthusiast, Steven Jones (39) has invented a totally unique style of lingerie. Forget lace and silk, Jones creates bras and bottoms from twisting balloons together. He even makes the straps and bikini strings from long rubber balloons. For more on this, see the YouTube video of Jones making this brown and blue bra and bikini. Now this idea of women wearing balloons is not a new one. Burlesque shows of the 19th century frequently used balloons during striptease performances. These extremely talented female performers would cover their costumes with balloons. Then, with a hat pin, artfully dance around the stage while strategically popping balloons until all were deflated and the performer exposed.

Jennifer Michelle, President of a Little Lingerie Company, has outlined in her blog how to update this sexy idea. First, strapless bras work best. Buy balloons sold as "water balloons" since they are small. When whip-stitching the balloons to your lingerie, keep in mind that your lingerie will stretch. I suggest attaching the balloons with small safety pins for simple attachment and a more controlled placement. Michelle also recommends mixing the balloons with ostrich feathers for a more theatrical effect. So, if you’re looking for some new way to seduce your partner, give this a try. Pick some fun striptease music, and find an old-fashioned hat pin. However, give some thought to where and when… your little routine could get a bit noisy.
