About this episode

Dita Von Teese discusses her performances and costume revivals in Las Vegas and Paris.

In part II of this week's Dressed Classics, our favorite vedette, Dita Von Teese, joins us to continue our conversation about being the first-ever guest star at Paris' legendary cabaret, the Crazy House and her current residency in Las Vegas. Her show Dita Las Vegas: A Jubilant Revue is onstage now at the Jubilee Theater, formerly home to iconic acts including Frank Sinatra as well as the showgirl review Jubilee, which ran for 40 years. Dita chats with us about reviving many of the original Jubilee costumes which were designed by Bob Mackie in the 1970s. Want more Dressed: The History of Fashion?
