Sharon Pallister, 36, of Windmill, Halkyn, was seen in all her tassled glory at the Royal Mail enquiry office in Flint and raised £200 for Children in Need.
Sharon faced her fears on the hit reality television show Faking It in December last year and has since been performing as a professional burlesque artist every weekend since.
The postal worker and former cleaner struggled with her self-image and confidence since childhood but underwent a dramatic transformation to convince a panel of show business experts she was a burlesque striptease artist called Scarlet Fever.
Her emotional journey started in 2005 when, while working a cleaner, she replied to an advert in her TV guide to appear in the last ever episode of the Channel 4 programme.
During the audition interviews Sharon revealed she had never even worn a bikini because of scarring from an operation she had as a child.
She said: ""I went for the show because I needed a change and that is what I got.
"Dressing up at work was a way to raise some money for Children in Need."
Her introduction to the risque danceform was a reverse striptease performed by burlesque star Immodesty Blaize.
Through the intensive training of her two mentors, Immodesty and dancer Wayne Sleep, shy Sharon was steadily transformed into a burlesque dancer.
