Queen Bea - Nipple Tassels

Nipple Tassels

Nipple tassels (and their non-tasselled sisters, the pastie) date back to the golden age of burlesque, when there were strict rules against showing one’s nipples onstage. Nowadays there’s very little one can’t show in public, but tassel twirling has found its way into the burlesque lexicon and pasties are a costume essential. They are also a saucy way to protect your modesty in a low-cut ensemble, spice up a “private performance” or indeed just have a bit of a laugh.

We recommend you read our guide to nipple tassels for tips to get you twirling and also to learn more about what makes our tassels special!

Queen of Hearts nipple tassels

They will go off their heads when they see you wearing these cheesecake-y tassels in cute loveheart-printed cotton with white lace ruffle trim and white tassel.

£12.00
Hundreds and Thousands nipple tassels

These pasties are covered in pastel-striped cotton and scattered liberally with hand-sewn beads in candy colours. Topped with a pink tassel, they look sweet enough to eat! We recommend pairing them with our co-ordinating Hundreds and Thousands cocktail hat for the whole sugarspun package!

Dominatrix nipple tassels

If you’ve had your fill of cheesecake and you’re looking for something a bit rougher, these might be the ticket. The pasties are covered in shiny, shiny black satin and the tassel is made of silvertone chain. Simple, striking, and just a little bit scary. Chain tassels come highly recommended by one of our favourite performers, Miss Sunday Blue. She swears that her pair are...

Sunday Blue nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! We’ve named these tassels after one of our favourite new burlesque stars. They are classy, sexy and sophisticated and so is she. A royal blue satin base is finished with an unusual silver sequinned braid trim and metallic silver tassels. Sometimes the simplest things are most effective.

£14.00
Voodoo nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! One of our latest innovations is the use of our own hand-beaded tassels to ensure perfectly co-ordinated twirling. These tassels feature a black satin pastie with hand-sewn beading in a starburst design. We have used the same pale blue glass bugle beads (with slight aurora borealis effect) topped with a silver-effect cap for the tassel itself. Cast a little black magic tonight.

£20.00
Rockabilly pasties

This is our first pastie design – ie, it is designed to cover the nipples and look good rather than twirl. Because sometimes you don’t want to twirl, and frankly, having some juicy cherries hanging off your chest is pretty damn enticing! Black and white gingham effect pasties are edged with a hand-sewn pleated ruffle in scarlet taffeta ribbon and topped with a hand-tied bow...

£16.00
Bewitched nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! These are some of our current favourites featuring, as they do, some of our favourite elements. We’ve started with our lovely dusky lilac silk dupion as a base. This is accented with a scattering of hot-fixed crystals in aurora borealis-effect amethyst colourway. And the crowning glory is a handmade tassel of aurora borealis purple seed beads set in a silvertone cap. Very dramatic, these will...

£18.00
Valentine nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Beautifully romantic tassels featuring a brand new (to us!) heart-shaped base. This has been covered with a deep rose-red silk dupion and edged with a hand-sewn ruffle of cream vintage lace and topped with a cream tassel. Extremely pretty with a real Victorian feel, would look gorgeous with a luxurious bustle (available soon!).

£16.00
Odalisque nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! The perfect companions for our Odalisque cocktail hat, preferably in an exotic Eastern-inspired dance routine! These are a slightly larger version of our new diamond-shaped tassels, covered in metallic gold fabric and edged with gold sequins and turquoise glass beads. The tassel itself features three graduated strings of the same turquoise glass seed beads with a larger bead at the ends. Opulent, exotic and most...

£18.00
Lavendar's Blue nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Another recently-created pair of tassels which we cannot get enough of! A blue silk dupion base is entirely covered with three lavish layers of hand-sewn ribbon ruffles. The ribbon itself is a most sumptuous and unusual shot taffeta in shimmering peacock tones of blue and purple. The purple tones are picked up perfectly by a bright purple tassel. Absolutely stunning, and bound to get you...

£20.00
Rose Gold nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Pretty, delicate nipple tassels in our newest shape. Dainty little pink diamonds are covered in a vintage 1960s fabric of bright pink with a metallic gold thread running through it. They are edged with two rows of hand-sewn gold beads and finished with a tassel comprising three loops of gold glass bugle beads. Brassy but still classy.

£20.00
Heavenly Body nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Eye-catching nipple tassels to add a bit of charm to any twirl! The pasties are covered in dark red cotton printed with metallic gold stars, which are further set off with gold strung sequin edging and a tassel made from metallic gold bugle beads. Star-gazing just took on a whole new meaning!

£16.00
Treasure Chest nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Hidden treasure, sunken ships, pirate’s booty, Aladdin’s cave… We love imagining that secret jumble of glittering exotic jewels in every colour of the rainbow, piled in greed-inducing abundance and and just waiting to be discovered! We think we have managed to evoke some of that same aesthetic of chaotic opulence with these tassels. A black satin base is covered with acrylic gemstones in various colours...

£20.00
American Beauty pasties

Red, red roses is a theme we come back to again and again. Partly because our muse, Gypsy Charms, wears them so well, and partly because nothing quite matches them for drama and romance. These pasties cover your assets in full-blown blossoms that will never fade! A red satin base has been topped with two dark green leaves – one satin, one velvet – and...

£20.00
Dragonfly nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! Mermaids, peacocks, dragonflies…there’s something magical about shimmery blue and green tones and we think these tassels are no exception! Inspired by our current favourite Ice tassels, we decided to try another variation on the bejewelled diamond theme. These have a small diamond-shaped based covered in blue-green shot silk dupion. They are edged with a full three rows of aurora borealis-effect green crystals and topped with...

£25.00
Onyx nipple tassels

Amour nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! These tassels are one of those pairs that have surprised us, they are way prettier than even we expected! The base is a beautiful shot green and red dupion silk – the overall look is olive green but with a very warm, almost bronze-y glow to it. These are edged with tiny ribbon roses in deep wine red and finished with a matching tassel. Romantic...

£20.00

Victoriana nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! When we think of Victorian decor, we think of soft pinks, rich fabrics, paper roses and romance. These tassels feature all those elements in the abundance also characteristic of the era. The pastie base is covered in plush rose-pink velvet and topped with three ribbon roses in co-ordinating tones. A rose-pink tassel nestles amongst the flowers (which serve the dual purpose of holding the tassel...

£16.00
Siren pasties

You may lure a few unsuspecting admirers to their doom if you flash these pasties at them! An alluring, unusual design that will really stand out from the crowd. Rich teal satin is the base. This is accented with two rows of black AB effect glass bugle beads which have been fixed only at the corners for a subtle looping effect. They are topped with...

£18.00
Tropicana pasties

Beautifully detailed pasties for girls who like a bit of kitsch with their glamour. A round pastie base is covered in cerise satin, then topped with three layers of ruffles created from high-quality satin ribbon in the same cerise tone. The whole thing is finished with a deep rose-pink ribbon blossom. Is it just me, or is it hot in here?

£20.00
Burning Love pasties

Our more astute fans and friends will have noticed that Queen Bea HQ is based in Edinburgh, and we are proud of our adopted homeland. So this is one to celebrate all the best tartan tat of our beloved Auld Reekie! A red satin base is covered with three rows of hand-sewn tartan taffeta ribbon, pleated for a rosette effect. We aren’t sure which tartan...

£20.00
Bordello pasties

For these pasties we have returned to that tried and true colour combo favoured by dancers from cancan to flamenco, goth girls and, well, tarts, the red and black our mother told us never to put together lest we look like a woman of easy virtue…oops. Bright red satin base is topped with a dainty black satin bow and edged with a hand-sewn ruffle of...

£16.00
Superstar nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! We are loving the rosette effect created by layers and layers of pleated ribbon! We have sewn (with our own chubby little hands) white satin ribbon printed with tiny black stars onto a black satin base in three sumptuous layers and topped them with a black nipple tassel for a very modern version of this style.

£20.00
Romance pasties

Sugarspun sweetness for your pleasure! These pasties feature a background of dupion silk in an unusual pink-taupe colour, edged with an icing-like braid of rose pink swirls and finished with a tiny pink ribbon rose. Pretty enough to eat!

£12.00
Santa Baby pasties

Slip something special under the tree for me…These festive pasties feature a red satin base edged with fluffy white swansdown trim and topped off with a silver jingle bell. A rather saucier take on the traditional Santa hat, we think these will make your audience really sit up and take notice! NB: Our Christmas pasties are some of our few designs which are not one-offs....

£14.00
Rudolph pasties

Play some reindeer games of your own with these festive pasties! We have created a Rudolph head in chocolate brown faux suede and detailed him with googly eyes, felt antlers, and a red pompon nose.

Winter Rose nipple tassels

Easy-twirl! The parefect winter warmer, these tassels feature a base of bright green satin topped with a red red ribbon rose and edged with red strung sequins. The rose actually holds the tassel out slightly from the base, meaning it is less likely to get caught and thus even easier to twirl. See, we are always thinking of you!

£14.00
Add Tassels

Easy-twirl! We have kept most of our Christmas designs as pasties because we feel the designs work better that way. However, if you have to have the twirl, add this to your order and we will attach tassels to your chosen designs for added festive fun!
