I have bought from them before, and am thinking about picking up some of their new undergarments (the satin bra is especially cute.) The newer items that they have out right now are pretty darn accurate, which makes me want them even more :)

If you do, please let us know your thoughts :) As I mentioned above, the satin bra (not the bullet version) looks like a wonderful item (and closely resembles the 1940s bras I own, with its minimal use of elastic.) I think it might be a good option for creating the correct line under vintage clothing.

That new satin bra is cute! I hadn't looked their new products before now. Of course, the one I want doesn't come in my size. :rolleyes:

Is it this one: L6005 Maitresse Bra

I have to say, that is one of the most tastefully done lingerie sites I've ever seen. When something's sheer, they put it on a mannequin and not an actual person. I give them props for that :D
Cute stuff. I'll have to order some once I get a little dough :)

Unfortunately placing orders is somewhat low-tech. I ordered a sale item that (I found out later) had sold out, and when I didn't hear from them or receive the item I had to contact them. A few days later I was told it had sold out before I placed the order. Annoying.

I've never had any problems with them and I've been buying almost all my underwear from them for a couple of years now. The seamed stockings are just wonderful, as is the control wear they sell. I can't recommend them highly enough!

That's the one! I do wish it came in solid pink though, instead of with black straps.

Yep just pink would be great, just like the original vintage ones!!

What did Katie do?

Those bullet bras look fantastic. And I would think they must be very comfortable since they don't have any underwires in them, eh?

I recieved an order from this company just yesterday. I think they're adorable, but I am kind of dissapointed with the quality of the satin fabric. The construction is just brilliant- I bought the pink and black set featured on the site of the bullet bra and garter belt, and a pair of underwear. I'm pretty small and while the measurement of the belt and underwear were supposed to be my size they are too big for me in the hips and a little in the waist :( Also, if you're a smaller cup size, the cups are a bit big on the bras. I adore the bra, but I'd have to definately add some "help" to fill it out. Underwear shopping is such a pain- I'm so bummed that they don't fit!

Since I'm at work I can't open the links on this thread, but I'm wondering if What Katie Did or any other company sells a good non-underwire bra that isn't a total bullet shape or crazy padded push-up. I'm still searching for a lighter colored bra that I can wear on my prison visits without setting off the metal detectors, or giving me a weird silhouette like my current visiting bra, which is kind of like an uncomfortable sports bra.

I love What Katie Did. Their customer service is great and the shipping is amazingly speedy. I wish I had more money right now, everytime I look at the site I wanna buy something!

Oh, I certainly agree that they're adorable!!! If they fit me I just know it would be an addiction (although an expensive one) :D And ditto on the fast shipping and good service.
