What Katie Did :: lingerie for pin-up girls

What Katie Did brings YOU their very latest bullet bra -  just in time for the festive season!

1950s style bullet bra from What Katie Did
View and buy at What Katie Did!

The What Katie Did signature circle-stitched 1950s style bullet bra has been given a new identity, with the bottom half of the cups in slinky satin and the tops left tantalisingly sheer. We guarantee it will keep you standing to attention at all times, pert, pointed and perfectly supported, looking smashing under sweaters and dresses alike.

Available in a beautiful sapphire navy trimmed with baby pink piping, and seasonal silver, which is finished with black stitching, straps and piping.

If you've been good (or very bad) this year, then perhaps you'll be lucky enough to get a saucy reward in your (seamed) stocking. We certainly hope so!

The gift of glamour!

Vintage lingerie

Another in our series of vintage lingerie advertisements...

A beautifully worked 1950s Formfit ad for their "Life" bra and girdle lingerie - To condition you for the new "Outer-Look"...the new Formfit "Under-Look".

The Formfit Company was established in 1917 with headquarters in Chicago as a maker of women's foundation garments – mainly corsets and girdles. It was one of the largest, if not the largest manufacturers of such products in the world. At their Chicago headquarters they had a building a block long and eight stories high which housed manufacturing, shipping and sales. Later they also became known for other types of lingerie, particularly bras and briefs.
