IT'S the time of year when stocking sales are going through the roof anyway.
But it's the sexy - not Christmas - variety that have been flying off the shelves thanks to Christina Aguilera and her new film Burlesque.

Sales of suspender belts rocketing according to one of Britain’s biggest lingerie companies.

Gossard say they have sold 65 per cent more of the garments this year - and they're putting it all down to a new burlesque craze.

Tony Jarvis, managing director of Gossard, says the burlesque boom has led to a surge in the popularity of vintage style lingerie in general.

He said: “There is most definitely a rise of interest in old school glamour in lingerie with a modern twist which is encapsulated in this revival.

“Suspenders have always sold well both on the website and in the shops for years, but the recent demand from women of all ages has been phenomenal.
