What Katie Did
What Katie Did has recreated authentic vintage lingerie since 1999, when founder Katie Thomas began selling stockings from a market stall with just £100. Now based in London with boutiques on both sides of the Atlantic, the brand launched the UK's first reproduction bullet bra and has dressed Madonna, Rihanna, Julia Roberts, and Victoria Beckham, while supplying period-accurate lingerie for productions including The Crown, Blonde, My Week with Marilyn, Peaky Blinders, Bridgerton, and Cabaret.

Suspender Belts & Seamed Stockings
Few details read as instantly vintage as a seamed stocking paired with a suspender belt. What Katie Did's fully fashioned stockings are made in Derbyshire, England, using original 1950s Reading knitting machines, a genuine link to authentic mid-century hosiery construction. Browse stockings and hosiery for seamed, fishnet, and fully fashioned styles.
How to Style What Katie Did
For a classic 1940s or 1950s silhouette, pair a structured bullet bra with a girdle or waist cincher, a six-strap suspender belt, and seamed stockings. For pin-up styling, add a vintage dress, heels, or retro accessories. For a modern fetish interpretation, combine What Katie Did lingerie and hosiery with leather, latex, or PVC pieces from the rest of Bondesque's fetish fashion collection.
