You might find what you are looking for on ebay.

queenrollo - the What Katie Did corsets etc look gorgeous. I want a waist cincher and some frilly knickers!

And LOLOL at the nipple tassle twirling tutorial:

"Twirling

Our pasties are made slightly larger than the norm. This enables you to position the pastie slightly higher on the breast above the nipple, which places the tassel closer to the centre of the breast making twirling that little bit easier.

The easiest way to start twirling is to simply bounce on the balls of your feet with bended knee. This should allow both tassels to twirl. Once you have have mastered that, try putting most of your weight on one leg: only one tassel should twirl. Stretch out one arm and the tassels will twirl in that direction. Within a few minutes you should certainly be twirling enough to impress any boyfriend!"

Was looking into corsets the other day and apparently vollers corsets are really good, need to get one 2-6 inches smaller than waist size.

Took DD1 to Urban Outfitters yesterday and they ad rows of frilly knickers in all the colours of the rainbow; ones with flounces on the bum and all sorts.

Needless to say, we did not buy - but they sound just right for what you describe!

Urban Outfitters frilly knicks

or if you are on a budget get a topshop corset, add black satin knickers, holdups and heels

queenrollo · 13/02/2008 14:48

or alternatively see if my new man fancies parting with some of his cash

I have a corset, frilly knickers and tutu from there. The people who run the Camden shop are so so so lovely as well.
