Don't panic!
The website went down last night, which was most annoying, but it's back up again now. PHEW!!!!
In case you're wondering what the new T-shirts look like actually on a person, here's Eightball to let us know. Photo by Olivia. He's wearing the size M and has a 40" chest.
We had a bit of a photo-jam on Saturday so there's more product pics to follow - the Elizabeth dress, Shopping Time dress, the red crinoline and the leopard print robe with black trim.
The Secretary Circle and Cloud 9 dresses will be here by Saturday at the latest. If you want to reserve or pre-order one let me know.

New stuff!
The Mode Merr "Jetsetter Suit" is now in stock, at £75. It's made from a lovely stretchy plaid with a black cotton poplin bodice and an adorable jacket tied with a ribbon.
You can find it on the Dresses page.
The exclusive peasant top that I've been wittering on about is also here, but it's not listed yet as we only did the photos last night. It's more beautiful that I had imagined - the effect of the net over the satin is irridescent, almost like a tonic fabric. It's wonderful! I'll put the pics up hopefully later today or tomorrow.
You'll find that MAC's "Aquadisiac" eyeshadow is a perfect match for it!

Pin-Up Parade in Sugar magazine!
Despite turning 30 in December, my shop is in tweeny mag Sugar this month on the back of the Bettie Page Clothing "Captain" dress which I sell and which someone wore on Gossip Girl. It's being modelled by Sophie Webster (Brooke Vincent) from Coronation Street - Morrissey would be proud!
Here's the scans:
All I need to do now is work out what to do with the pale pink lipgloss that came free with the magazine! ;)

Even more bargainous!
There's even MORE reductions in the What Katie Did sale!
Those fabulous Powermesh Knickers are now just £6, Zorita knickers are now £7.50 and the underwired bras are just a fiver, knocked down from £32.50!
And if you like a bargain, you should also check out the Pin-Up Parade sale page. There's always SOMETHING on there that's been reduced - check it out! I added more items the other day, so there's the Stop Staring "New Hollywood" dress at £55, down from £70 and the Bettie Page Clothing "Shopping Time" dress at £45 (was £60), and the "Cherry Blossom" dress for £50 (was £65).
Why do I always have something that's been reduced? Well - simply put, I operate the shop from my spare room, which isn't particularly spare anymore as it's bursting at the seams with stock! So in order to keep new stuff coming in, I like to clear some space now and then. Which is good news for you, of course! ;)

Vintage knits
I'm excited as I'm about to embark on my first attempt at knitting something other than a scarf - I'm going to try the "Such Flattering Puff Sleeves" top from A Stitch in Time (which you can find on the Books page).
In order not to go-it-alone as a knitter, I've joined www.ravelry.com. It's a great resource for knitters where you can set up your own profile and list projects you're working on, yarn you've got stashed, projects you aim to start. You can read other people's profiles and find patterns and information on yarns too. This is handy in my case as I bought some Debbie Bliss "Cathay" in the John Lewis sale (because I liked the colour) then realised it doesn't say on the label what thickness it is. A friend directed me to Ravelry, where I was able to look it up and find out it's double knit. Phew! There's also groups people have set up - in fact, there's one for A Stitch in Time so you can chat with other knitters about it.
There is a waiting list for Ravelry, but only a few days, and it's definitely worth joining if you knit or crochet!

Bargains!
There are still bargains to be had at the What Katie Did sale.
There's plenty of bras and knickers, and I was really pleased to get hold of the gorgeous Showgirl corset for myself! It's so pretty....
I have an idea for a shoot, so you might be seeing it soon!
I recommend the Powermesh knickers, at just £10 a pair - their holding-in powers are almost girdle-like!
