Dita Von Teese's latest Destination Maternity lingerie line has the burlesque dancer thinking about her own potential maternity wardrobe. But first things first—she's got to meet the right guy before that can happen!

"It's just not always easy to find the right person to align yourself with and to make that decision to have a kid—especially with someone like me who's made my living off of striptease for the past 20 years," Von Teese told E! News while celebrating her new Von Follies collection at the Destination Maternity flagship store in New York.  "It's something I am defiantly thinking about; having a baby and wearing this collection."

The 42-year-old lingerie designer also opened up about launching her Von Follies by Dita Von Teese for Destination Maternity line, noting the idea behind the designs was all about giving new moms the ability to feel sexy.

"Lingerie for me has not been about seduction or putting it on for someone else. It's just something I always loved and it's symbolic of womanhood and femininity," Von Teese explained. "Why wouldn't a new mother want to have options? It's about giving women options. I am not saying you can't wear the white cotton maternity bras, and I am not going to say I won't have one in my drawer too, but it's good to have options."

But dressing sexy is only half of it—staying healthy is the hard part! And Von Teese explained just how she keeps up her svelte figure in tip-top shape, explaining, "I eat clean and always do Pilates."

And coming from Von Teese, whose hot physique never disappoints, we'd say that's full-proof advice.
