She's hired only full-figured girls to appear in her runway show, so Dita Von Teese obviously wouldn't shy away from showing off her own curves in risque lingerie.

The 39-year-old burlesque performer turned fashion designer displayed more than a hint of her black lace bra at a photo call for her new underwear line today in Melbourne, Australia.

She was clearly making a fashion statement by allowing her seductive underwear to be so visible.

As always, the raven haired beauty showed off a style that was both sultry and sophisticated.

Though the black lace garment was overtly sexy, her purple wrap dress was nothing but classy.

She pinned a small bunch of violets onto her lapel for an additional sweet touch and also accessorised with a pair of open toed black lace pumps.

Her make-up was picture perfect as usual, as were her fabulously coiffed ebony locks.

Dita happily posed next to her group of models, whom were all chosen for their curvaceous or full-figured forms.

Prior to appearing at the Von Follies by Dita Von Teese for Target photo call today, she admitted that she had fired several models because they were too skinny.

She told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper: 'We gave a lot of models the axe for being too skinny - we probably turned away a dozen.

'It's important to me [that] we show curvaceous women and fuller-figured girls... Lingerie looks terrific on girls with shape.'

She also wanted to showcase women with natural skin tones, and took to her Twitter account to reveal that she wanted the models to convey this.
