London corset shop selling steel boned corsets, faux vintage lingerie and fully fashioned stockings. What Katie did was voted burlesque costumier of the year 2007 and their corsets are all hand made in their atelier

Our flagship boutique opened in October 2007 and has become the place in London for burlesque style corsets and faux vintage lingerie.

Once the rush of Valentine's Day shoppers is over we will be closing our boutique on 14th February for 2 weeks for it to have a luxurious make-over. It will reopen on Monday 1st March just in time for the arrival of our SS10 collection.

The What Katie Did Boutique

The full What Katie Did collection can be purchased at our flagship boutique in the heart of London's Portobello Road.

Inside you'll find our full range of corsets, lingerie, shapewear and hosiery. Our boutique is really like an old fashioned corsetorium where you'll be able to be fitted correctly and advised by knowledgeable staff.

Although we try to hold everything in stock there will be times when we are out of stock of a certain item so if you are desperate for something please telephone us at least 48 hours in advance so we can ensure we have it ready and waiting for you.

Staff

Our boutique is managed by Nicola. Nicola is assisted by Clare (who also runs London's Dr Sketchy) Ruka (who also runs our pasties and fascinator workshops) and Sarah (who is well known on the burlesque scene as Slinky Sparkles).

We've tried to make our shop as retro as possible but it's still way off corsetoriums from the 1940s and 1950s as this feature shows.

About The Area


Portobello Road is famous for it's antique and vintage stores which line the street, along with it's varied market.

If you are visiting on Saturday and fancy a 1 mile gentle stroll then catch the Central Line to Notting Hill and follow the directions (and crowds) to Portobello Road. First you'll come to all the antique market and arcades, followed by the fruit and vegetable market.

As you get closer to us you'll see the Westway road which bridges the market and underneath you'll find both the Portobello Green arcade and a wide range of stalls selling vintage and new clothes.

Once you've visited us head a few yards further north to discover a few more vintage stores before relaxing in one of the many bars and restaurants. Be warned, Portobello Road does get very busy at the weekends but you'll always find the Portobello Green arcade an oasis of calm!

The best day for vintage shopping is Friday when the area around Portobello Green is filled with vintage stalls. Over recent years a buzzing, if slightly smaller, Sunday market has also become established focusing on new and vintage clothes.
