What Katie Did

Splash out on some stylish retro clothing and lingerie at this Notting Hill boutique.

Add a touch of 1940s and 1950s magic to your outfit with a pair of seamed stockings, or for the pure aficionado try the store’s Fully Fashioned stockings, knitted on vintage Reading machines.

Accentuate your curves with retro shapewear in the form of waist cinchers, corsets and corselettes.

Check out the store’s Map range, inspired by a set of escape map lingerie on display in London’s Imperial War Museum. During WWII silk escape maps and parachute silk were transformed into lingerie, clothing and even wedding dresses, a look the store has recreated in peach satin.

There’s also a range of retro clothing inspired by the 1950s.
