Hot on the heels of its star-studded event last night, lingerie legend Frederick's of Hollywood is hosting an online auction of celebrity-designed corsets. The week-long auction closes Friday, November 4th at 5:00 pm PST; all proceeds will benefit the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance (TS Alliance).

Frederick's of Hollywood hosted a private, live auction for VIPs last night at its new flagship boutique, hosted by four-time Academy Award nominee Julianne Moore who actively raises awareness for the TS Alliance. The online auction is the first opportunity for the public to bid on corsets personally designed and signed by celebrities, including: Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas, Tori Amos, Rosario Dawson, Diane Lane, Alan Cumming, Allison Janney, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie-Lynn DiScala, Shannen Doherty; and famous lingerie designer Jacalyn Bennett.

Each corset is a true reflection of its designer; racing-enthusiast Patrick Dempsey designed his with racing patches and checkered ribbon; Tori Amos accompanies her 'Midsummer Night's Dream" corset with a narrative in her sketch book. Winning bidders receive the celebrity's autographed sketch page of their corset design.

'Some of the sexiest celebrities in Hollywood designed these corsets,' said Holly MacDonald-Korth, senior Vice President at Overstock.com. 'They created stunning pieces of art that reveal a personal side to their public image. Any serious collector, fan, or lingerie enthusiast will want to own one, especially for such a meaningful cause.'
