Von Teese says she was disappointed, as she had been hoping to receive beautiful lacy garments and stockings, of the type she had glimpsed in her father's Playboy magazines.

Von Teese attended University High School in Irvine, California. The family relocated from Michigan to Orange County, California, when her father's job moved. Though she originally wanted to be a ballerina, Von Teese states that "by 15, I was as good as I'd ever be." She was later to incorporate this element into her burlesque shows, where she frequently goes en pointe. She was classically trained as a ballet dancer from an early age, and danced solo at age 13 for a local ballet company. Her mother was a fan of old, Golden Age-era Hollywood films, and from her, Von Teese developed a fascination with the actresses of that day, especially Betty Grable. This began at a young age and was fostered by her mother, who would buy clothes for her daughter to dress up. Von Teese is known for her fascination with 1940s cinema and classic vintage style. Von Teese has stated that one of her grandmothers was half-Armenian and adopted into an Anglo-Saxon American family. She is of English, Scottish, Armenian, and German heritage. They were our muses."

When describing her hometown, she says, "It's a universe away from the colored Klieg lights of Hollywood and Paris. Von Teese was born in West Branch, Michigan, the second of three daughters. She also has her own brand of lingerie, as well as stockings under the name Secrets in Lace and luxurious cardigans for Australian online store Wheels & Dollbaby. She has also created four perfumes under the brand Dita Von Teese Perfumes. From 2007 to 2013, she was a global ambassador of Cointreau and in 2010–2011 she was the face of Perrier.
