Exciting Shipping Update 🚚🎉

Say hello to Helen – our latest lingerie range in mid blue satin and black lace. Inspired by 1950s glamour, she’s the newest addition to our Palm Springs collection 💙🖤

The star of the show? Our Whirlpool bra, a nod to the iconic bras made by Hollywood-Maxwell in the 1950s. Featuring signature circular stitching, it's pure mid-century magic 🌟

Our Helen bra brings that same structure and style into the modern day, with soft blue satin, delicate black lace, and a flattering fit you'll actually want to wear all day.

Pair the bra with our 6-strap suspender belt and high-waisted knickers for full vintage glamour. All made with love, ethics, and a little mischief 💋

And if you're already a fan of our Celia or Priscilla pieces, you'll be happy to know Helen uses the same lace—so mix and match to your heart’s content 💕

Elegant, ethical, and steeped in vintage charm, Helen brings a little Palm Springs magic to your top drawer. Explore the full collection now: https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/palm-springs

Helen Lingerie: Modern Vintage Glam

Our bullet bras are having a moment—again.
Turn to the July issue of @BritishVogue and you’ll spot none other than @DUALIPA wearing our Padded Bullet Bra 🖤


Dua previously wore it on stage—but seeing it styled in Vogue’s pages is a thrill.
With subtle padding and our signature circle stitching, it’s perfect for smaller cup sizes seeking that 1950s shape.

Vogue calls the bullet bra “an antidote to the naked dressing trend”—and we agree.
It’s bold, it’s rebellious, and it’s gloriously vintage.

Our bullet bras have been worn by Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and now Dua—again.

Bullet Bra Revival

We sent lingerie to the costume department of @EvitaMusical expecting it to stay backstage, used purely as foundation garments.
But when the show opened in London, guess what we saw on stage?

Golden Globe winner @rachelzegler  starring as Eva Perón, wears our Maitresse Black Satin Bullet Bra on stage—spotlit and centre stage! 🖤

From Don’t Cry For Me Argentina to Another Suitcase in Another Hall, it’s a powerful performance—and we’re honoured our 1950s-inspired bullet bra plays a supporting role.
👉 

Evita is produced by Michael Harrison & The Jamie Lloyd Company, and it's already a smash hit in London.

Unexpected Spotlight: Lingerie in Theater

Did you spot our Padded Bullet Bra in this months @britishvogue, worn by @dualipa ? Stunning! https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/padded-bullet-bra

Oh my! Our Babydoll arrived, launched and sold out in a week! This was one garment I was hugely concerned about. Find out why on Substack: https://open.substack.com/pub/whatkatiediduk/p/babydoll-history-baby-doll-lingerie-fashion

I only ordered in tiny quantities as I was worried it wouldn't sell, plus we did have a few fail quality control as the fabric was very delicate. These are currently being sold as seconds: https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/palm-springs

I'm currently sourcing new fabric for another run next Spring, but in the meantime we have a black lace version arriving in the next month or so.

Babydoll Success Story

Do you follow us on @SubstackInc
 yet? That's were we really let you know what's going on behind the seams! https://open.substack.com/pub/whatkatiediduk/p/postcards-from-antibes-vintage-finds

We’re fussy about shapewear. Really fussy.
So when we say our new Liz Cinch Girdle ticks every box, we mean it.
Made in the UK. Made from recycled yarn. Made to cinch. 🖤 https://www.whatkatiedid.com/products/black-cinch-girdle

This girdle sits just under the bust, finishes at the top of the thigh, and smooths your shape with zero boning.
Three rows of internal elastic = instant waist definition.
Six metal suspender clips = stockings stay put.

Bonus: Yes, you can do it up at the front and spin it around.
We’ve tested it. We do it ourselves.
(And we still get a proper cinch.)

It pairs perfectly with our Liz bra and knickers (also UK-made, also recycled fabric) and our Glamour Black Seamed Stockings—made from recycled yarn too.

Retro shaping, sustainable fabric, and that classic 1950s silhouette—refined for real life.

Liz Cinch Girdle: Ultimate Shapewear

Let’s talk petticoats 💙

Our Palm Springs collection isn’t just about lingerie—it’s about layers, styling options, and those little vintage details that elevate everything. 

Shop: Palm Springs https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/palm-springs


The frilly petticoat from our new Palm Springs range was custom-dyed to match our powder blue lingerie. It’s floaty, 1950s-inspired, and full of swish.✨

We styled it with our cropped babydoll top and our peach Luna corset to show just how versatile it is. Lingerie? Loungewear? Outerwear? You decide. 💁‍♀️

Can you wear it as a skirt?

We got that question within hours of launch—and the answer is: yes, if you’re brave! It’s sheer, but double it up for a fabulous evening look. 🍸

Shop: Palm Springs https://www.whatkatiedid.com/collections/palm-springs

As always, our pieces are ethically made in our long-standing Indian factory. Beautiful inside and out—because how it’s made matters just as much. 🌍

Palm Springs Petticoat Glam

That Bra, Though… 
Let’s talk about that pleating.
Our Priscilla balconette bra features intricate hand-pleated trim across the top of the cups. A detail you rarely see today. 💫

Underwired and cut straight across in a balconette line, it’s designed to disappear under square necklines—1950s style meets 1960s charm.

This bra is all about gentle structure and soft, sheer prettiness. Practical never looked so pretty.
