Miss Bellasis

FURNISHING LADIES' CHESTS SINCE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY

About Me

Miss Bellasis commenced nipple tassels and pastie creation at the turn of the century, to provide for the discerning residents of those twin jewels of the South Coast - Brighton and Hove, and soon was furnishing a much wider audience.
Visit www.missbellasis.com for more styles, a letters page and a sundries drawer.
Inspiration comes from many diverse sources: a period of working in the world of extraordinarily indulgent chocolate cake creation; naughty Victoriana; Golden Age of Hollywood glamour; grandparents' reminiscences of mid-century high living in London and holidays on the French Riviera; a tempting Chelsea Bun in a bakers’ windows; the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Greta Garbo; Tatlin's Monument to the Third International and tempestuous rain seen through a window of fine claret bottles to name but a few.
Further, Miss Bellasis believes that every lady deserves to have a pair of nipple tassels or pasties tucked away in a top draw or displayed proudly on a dressing table close at hand for those moments when they might just be needed. The discerning public deserves to have the finest nipple tassels and pasties possible and Miss Bellasis will not stop until this mission is fully discharged.
