What Katie Did Gold Label Showgirl Antionette Black Corset

The delicate pleating at the bottom and top of this corset give it an very luxurious and chic look.

The Antoinette corset pushes the boobs up giving a balconette bra style that was made the fashion by Marie Antoinette in the 1700s. The corset shape is ideal for women with a bigger bust as the shaping on the sides ensures that the boobs are very firmly enclosed and uplifted. The corset has the What Katie Did signature gored hips which provide an hourglass figure and are made to fit a B-E cup.

This gorgeous What Katie Did corset is made from satin with cotton lining. It features a modesty panel, stainless steel busk front opening, steel spiral boning and is back laced.

Every corset is made by hand by one corsetier as can be expected from a high quality corset designer such as What Katie Did.

 If you would like to learn more about corsets then there is a corset guide video to help you. Or also the corset size guide and the ‘ How to put on a corset guide ‘.

What Katie Did Morticia Ivory Raw Silk Underbust Corset

What Katie Did Corsets

What Katie Did Corsets

Today I’m going to focus on a real ‘head-turner’ of a corset – the What Katie Did Morticia Ivory Raw Silk Underbust Corset.

It will certainly get you noticed but I don’t think you want to be turning up to the in-laws wearing it – they may just turn into the ‘out-laws’. This underbustcorset is the type that would look fantastic at an exotic or fetish party with the nipple tassles or without the tassles (maybe) and over a blouse with a pair of close fitting faded jeans.

The gorgeous hour glass figure that is acheived is erotic and deeply flattering whilst the corset suspenders add a highly sexy addition when worn with some sexy black stockings – I know they have used a tan colour in the picture but I feel black or virginal cream or white stockings would make a much more powerful and attractive statement.

The cinched waist and the manner in which the corset slides over the hips is very artistic giving the model an almost statuesque appeal.

What Katie Did corsets have rapidly gained a cult following in specialist markets such as burlesque and fetishism but also in the world of high glamour. If the underbust corset is a little bit too

What Katie Did underbust corset

risque for you then you may want to try the similar and super-sexy What Katie Did Sophia Ivory Raw Silk Corset which is a little less revealing.

If you are looking for something to wear to top-end functions and in the privacy of your own home when the lights are dimmed then this is surely the perfect corset to melt a mans heart!

Waist Cincher or Waspie

December 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Eternal Spirits Waspie

Eternal Spirits Waspie

The waist cincher, which is often termed the ‘Waspie’ is a belt type garment which is worn around the waist to decrease, or give the illusion of decreasing, the size of the waist.

 

Modern waist cinchers or waspies since the 1980s are often styled as wide, laced belts with elastic fabric and soft plastic stiffeners.

During the 1950s, following Christian Dior’s ‘New Look’,  the terms waist cincher, waspie and guêpière were variations or synonyms of girdle and corselette.  The ribbon corset is a term for a corset made from ribbon rather than fabric.

Dior’s New Look gave the waist cincher enormous popularity in the late 1940s. Dior wrote: “I designed clothes for flower-like women, with rounded shoulders, full feminine busts, and hand-span waists above enoumous spreading skirts”.  The slim waists favoured by Dior were achieved by foundations garments such as the supremely popular waist cincher. This waist cincher was popularly called the ‘waspie’ or ‘guepiere’ and was ‘the’ undergarment of the New Look. These waspies were boned and were much shorter than the former Victorian corsets. The fashion press of the time said of waspies that they were ‘super-light weight’ and had ‘feather boning’ and were normally worn tightly cinched at the waist and usually over a girdle.

Waspies are a very popular introduction to the world of corsetry for many people and tend to be less restrictive and more flexible in their uses than full corsets. One of the most popular brands is the superbly crafted Eternal Spirits corset brand.

What Katie Did – Inspirational designer lingerie, corsets and stockings

December 11, 2008 · Leave a Comment

What Katie Did Corset

What Katie Did Corset

 

 

 

What Katie Did was begun in 1999 as the inspiration of a talented lingerie designer, the beauitful  Katie Halford. Katie couldn’t find seamed corset stockings at reasonable prices in London which inspired her to commence on the road to designer stockings, designer lingerie and on to the luxury designer corset brand we know today, What Katie Did!                               

An inspirational brand What Katie Did found success from the start and in May 2005 Katie received a telephone call from TopShop which eventually lead to the placing of an order.

Corsets, as you may imagine, have always been a big passion of Katies’ and she commenced her career at Skin Two Retail in 1995. At that period fetish shops were the only source of proper steel boned corsets and for that matter nylon fully fashioned stockings. What Katie Did silk corsets were officially launched in the January of 2006 which was also the point at which What Katie Did commenced its business relationship with the retro pin up photographer Tony Nylons (how appropriately named) who has been responsible for all of the brands photography, except the Bernie Dexter pictures,  ever since. What a partnership it has been ‘Inspirational Corset designer meets Talented Photographic artist’….a match made in corset heaven.

What Katie Did produce two collections each year which have a worldwide cult following. Their designs are not just retro influenced but are actually made using vintage patterns which are carefully adapted for today’s woman. The What Katie Did corset brand tries to adhere, where possible, to the fabrics and manufacturing processes that were available at that time.

What Katie Did  have a wide range of bullet bras, waist cinchers,  girdles and 6 strap suspender belts. Their corsets are all steel boned and designed to take up to 4″ from the waist. What Katie did, though probably best known for their sexy corsets, also design a wide range of genuine fully fashioned stockings, seamed nylons and fishnets and retro lingerie.

My favourite What Katie Did corsets are:

Also if you some detachable corset suspenders then What Katie Did designed a set of 4 metal corset suspender clips with an adjustable black elastic. The corset suspenders have a hook at the top allowing them to be attached to their corsets which feature existing loops.

If you want to finish one of these What Katie Did sexy corset outfits with something exotic then why not try some sexy corset stockings such as Le Bourget or Love Me stockings of Paris. There’s nothing so sexy as designer lingerie, corsets and stockings!
