Our boutique's first birthday party.

The What Katie Did boutique celebrated its first birthday on Sunday 26th October and many of you flocked here to join us, despite the rain. The day was a smashing success with plenty of bubbly champagne, delicious cakes, splendid outfits and of course the wonderful Miss Slinky Sparkles, who was sensational
as always. 

All the excitement in the boutique caused quite a stir with passers-by. Not that we're attention-seekers here at What Katie Did - we just love to get dressed-up and put on a show! 

Thank you so much to those who came and for those who couldn't make it, I'm sure I can find another reason to throw another fantastic burlesque bash soon. 

I've been looking back over the last year to see how our little boutique has grown. We've got lots of new items including matching bustles for our corsets. We've also hosted lots of
workshops where you've come along and made pasties and mini top hats, or learned a few tips about retro hair and make up-styling, all while sipping tea and enjoying nibbles. I can't quite believe it's been a whole year, we don’t feel any older but certainly wiser! 

I'm so excited about what we can achieve in the next year and I certainly can't wait until
Good Time Mama Jo Jo comes to visit, so she can share with us all of her years of wisdom on the art of seduction – look out for announcements soon. We’d also like to say a big thank you to Alison Tay from Now Magazine, who has given us so much support this year. 

In fact I’d like to thank everyone for all their wonderful support over the last year - I've loved every minute of it and that's down to all of you, our fabulous customers. 

Here's to another great year, hope to lace you up soon!

Love, Clare.
