Dita attributes slim figure to corsets
February 20, 2009 
Dita Von Teese has attributed her trademark waspish waist to the fact that she has regularly worn burlesque corsets for a number of years.
The 35-year-old beauty is known for showing off her amazing figure in her world-famous burlesque shows.
Regarding the secrets of her slim figure, Dita says that she has whittled her waist down to its tiny size by wearing corsets as well as doing plenty of exercise.
"It's all corsets, Pilates and ballet classes. I train hard," Fox News quoted her saying at a book launch earlier this week.
Despite her racy shows, Dita also revealed that she is not a confident person at all and that she turned to burlesque as a way to express herself.
She explained: "I do things that make me feel confident, like doing my hair, putting my red lipstick on, having my nails done and just pampering myself so I'm ready to face the world. The key is taking a moment for yourself."
