The ongoing search for the perfect lingerie

Help me find the bra worn by the ever-fabulous Dita Von Teese in this (somewhat NSFW) photo.
I mostly love the shape, so if anyone can find something similar in a different fabric that's more likely to be within my price range, that would be wonderful too. Thanks!

Hmm... never occurred to me to check. It's not my server, it's just the only copy of the picture I could find on Google Image Search.

veedubya: note the "Public" in the URL - it's the user's public directory.

The Dita bra (so pretty) has a more vintage French look to it, but this is somewhat similar in shape.

Yikes, there are emails and stuff in there.
You're a kitty!, I've read/heard/seen that Von Teese has friends who design all her stuff for her... you might try searching for who creates her wardrobe generally.

This isn't going to be very helpful, but I have a bra with a very similar shape - the band across the front, with cups behind. I bought it at a department store in London about a year ago, and (I can't find it now to be sure) I think it's a variant on Gossard's Wonderbra. It's a black pinstripe fabric.
Agent Provacateur were also doing a similar kind of thing in a sailor style I think, but this was a while ago too. They don't seem to have anything like that right now, although they have lots of balconette styles. As a side note, I do not recommend AP's larger cup sizes at all.

If this isn't the same bra, it's very similar. I found it by searching for Dita von Teese lingerie. She apparently has her own line of lingerie with a company called Peach John. The bad news, though, is it's a Japanese brand.
Good luck!

Good lucK indeed, I looked for 30 minutes to no avail, mainly for myself ;) ...that bra is gorgeous!
I think the extra panel of fabric covering the cups is what makes it really unique, but it's pretty elusive.

This isn't quite the same, but it does have the fabric-over-cups look.

That photo was from a shoot for Blender magazine, if you found a copy it might tell what brand she is wearing.

ukdanae is the person to ask this question to; you could just email her if she doesn't show up in this thread.

you're a kitty!, have you found anything yet? My wife wants to know, as well. I spent awhile looking around but found nothing. The company MsMolly mentioned doesn't seem to have a US distributor, and the line with which she's affiliated on her website is from a different company entirely. Blender's website doesn't offer any clues, either. I'm a little tired of sifting through NSFW photos, so if you find anything please let us know.
