Dita Von Teese on glamour, insecurity and her new lingerie

A new line of lingerie will soon be appearing at Target: Von Follies by Dita Von Teese.

Prices will start from $17, and there will be a large range of sizes, with bras sizes up to an E cup, and briefs up to size 20.

"It was very important to me to offer lingerie in a large range of sizes," explained the burlesque beauty, Dita Von Teese.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Dita has used the opportunity to open up about insecurity and glamour.

"Like most women, I have plenty of insecurities about the way I look. But I'm not going to point out my flaws, because then they'll be more noticeable," Dita said.

"The world would be a better place if women kept their insecurities to themselves. I say, accept them, live with them. And if you don't want to accept them, change them - that's fine, too.

"Anyone can be sexy and beautiful, regardless of their shape - that's one reason I love the idea of glamour. It isn't something that belongs to someone of a certain age or size."

She was also clear in her appreciation of lingerie, which does not stem from a desire to attract men. Rather, it is all about women.

"I love the history of lingerie and the way it evokes femininity, sensuality and mystery," she said. "I've never equated it with sex or what men want - it's a great thing women have for themselves."

"I wear nice underwear because it makes me feel good."

Dita first began to stitch and sew original clothing when she was only in her teens.

"When I was a teenager, I realised I could afford to go to a flea market or vintage store, so I started to mix vintage things with modern pieces," she said.

"I'd buy a '60s dress and alter it myself using my sewing machine."

The lingerie range will be on sale from Feb. 8.
