What Katie Did over bust corset


Dorothy 20" Satin Over Bust Corset
Suit waists to size 26"


Of all my corsets, this is the one that I never wear, and I mean NEVER!!!!

I can only describe it as gently worn because I have others that I've favoured over this one.

The fabric is a white spotted satin and the construction is what you would expect from What Katie Did.

The What Katie Did style name is Dorothy.

Is made for tight lacing (not for waist training however as under busts corsets are suited for this)...and is sturdier than many of the fashion corsets you will find advertised on the internet.

Price: $60 USD + P&H by airmail to your destination.  (Item under 2500g)

Sold. Sorry :-(

Long Island Stay Lace Association site

Hello!!

Just pointing you to my pinup page at L.I.S.A's website.  Thank you Thomas.  



Fran's page showcases Saucy Heels from my web store and it's noted, she can walk in them well.  They look amazing with her outfits.

At present I am working with Fran on a top secret corset...her work is nothing short of incredible.  She really is brilliant.

To find the heels: 


Fran's page: 

Incidentally, Fran's waist is about the same size mine is in a corset.  What a difference bigger hips make for the overall form.  

Have a great day and I'll see you soon

Video from the Vault: Steel Heel Ballet Boots

Hello,

I've found a few older videos and will upload them as I do.

Still to locate the "how to cut ballet heels" video (found raw footage, might have to compile it again) and the Scream steel heel video that was requested for You Tube.

Bear with me.

Best Regards

At the time the video was made there were people making stupid and idiotic comments (channel name ImeldaBootstross
defunct) - take the dedication as you wish, or pass the song, and the dedication along to those you know who fail
to see the good in anyone's efforts.

:-P

Told you I was feeling rather cheeky today!

V-log: Corsets, Ballet Heels & Extreme Steel Heels

video

Quite a long video really; initially made for the member section of my site, but since I can't upload it there, here it is!

Obviously the you tube channel would suffer because I am referring to the way the corset fits on my chest and ... yes, as I have previously said, there is little to no point waving a red rag at a bull.

Eventually the site's video issues will be sorted out; until then, there is always here and somewhat more demure video at the "tube".

:-)

Best regards

RED BALLET BOOTS in the PARK


video


A long video of me in the park last year, wandering around in my ballet heels and leather buckled corset.

OTHER NEWS:

Sales of ballet heels are going nicely and the feedback is wonderful. I will be posting it to the website [new page] some time over the next week, also.

I've found the video I made in 2008 [golly, has it been that long?] showing how to modify the heel of Devious brand ballets.

I'll post it at the How to do Ballet Heels journal shortly. Enjoy the oldies above. Download links are pasted underneath.

The Perils of Second and Third Quality Ballet Heels

Hello Dear Reader,

As you are probably aware I've entered the world of enterprise recently in the form of selling 3 styles of Ballet Heels at The Saucy Ballerina.

The journey to buying the stock was an interesting one, as I had sales people from all over offering me Ballet Heels of three different grades.

I chose first grade for the obvious reasons.

The boots below were purchased by me last year. They cost me the expected arm and leg paid for Ballet Heels but have come from what I understand to be a box full of seconds or even *gasp!* third quality heels - where you fish around a box and try to make pairs from stock you have no control over what you get. [there may not actually be any pairs in the box at all]

Problem is, the way of business these days is to rarely admit the heels being sold are seconds, or thirds due to the amazing profits made on them. Sold as first quality. Major retail outlets do it at sales time, all the time, especially with clothing items.

I want to offer the best quality for the best price. Fair Trade ideals come into play here. :-D

Also, I want you to experience the same joy as I do, with decent shoes to wear right from the beginning.

I plan to also have some pumps made to my specifications later on down the track, but I need to, obviously turn over business and reinvest in the next step of the process. It takes time and patience. :-)



Have I sat them like that or are they really THAT different;
refer black lines in image below:

Mmm. Not even the same size really. :-(

If you are considering a purchase of Ballet Heels, have a look at what I offer.
  • I can always guarantee the fairest prices.
  • I can always guarantee first quality.
  • I can always guarantee quality control, as I check each pair of heels before they leave here.
  • I can guarantee the best balance between heel and toe of any ballet heel on the market.
  • I can also guarantee you will never need to alter the Saucy Heels to successfully stand, or walk in them.
  • I do not sell by Drop Ship. Even though it's a very good way to not have to deal with stock, the whole point of The Saucy Ballerina is that I do have my hands on the stock and guarantee the client, the best heels possible.
  • No more broken heels, too long heels, rips in the fabric/leather.
  • No more incorrect sizes, or even sadly two left shoes.
  • No more stupidly inflated prices.
  • Best Deal for us all.

If you check postage rates, you will note that I am incredibly fair with the prices.

As little advertising I have done, sales are moving well and at a regular pace. There are limited sizes in the 37 - 39 range in all styles.

The stock:

Corset Time

Hello,

I promised a viewing of this Nightmare on Corset Street and here it be.


It was warm yesterday (31 centigrade) which is why the shorts.




As I have been wearing in the black underbust corset I realise one of two things:

1. I am not a seamstress by any means;
2. I needed an extra inch allowance at the top of the corset to make the custom fit better.


The denim corset is ridiculous and not for public consumption but I had fun putting it together.

The black corset is holding up a lot better than I expected. I guess all that double sewing seams and extra lining etc was worth it in the end.

Peace, Love and Vegetables

Crochet. Ballet Heels and a Bathtub

Oh Crochet Bikinis are back? In the 70's they were all the rage. Yes. It's sad I remember them and how it felt to get sand in the bottoms. Ewww.



Exposed. No more black hair on this little duck.


Legs and heels.

Mmmm. What am I doing here?

My ballet heels collection for your viewing pleasure. Other shots available at website - http://thesaucyballerina.com. Please join, it's free.

Best Regards

The You Tube file which shows the shoes. Not me in them. Some videos of me wearing them are here, more will appear at my website:



Extreme Heels Bendy Version

Shoegirl won't film - need shoe girl to film outdoor exploits. Internet connection is somewhat dodgy at the moment. Need 57 hours in a day. 24 is not enough. Application to Time Lord School got lost in the mail. Need to resend it.

*scratches head and runs around in circles*


Video for your viewing pleasure... download link below.

Vinyl catsuit

Not as exciting as the heading sounds really.

I bought this a while ago, and it's taken this long to actually get it out of the bag and try it on.

Oh. My. Goddess. The only tight bit of it is around my calf muscles.

Needs a little alteration I think?


I think if you filled up the suit with air, I'd look like the Fetish Teletubbie.


More coming soon. This season of the year is a busy time for us all.

I have corsets, ballet heels, high heels, bendy heels to upload, but very little time to do it.

Got a head filled with songs from Westside Story..


"Tonight! Tonight!"

Ballet Boots Ballet Heels

Hello Dear Reader,

Thought I'd give a quick update on the member's area of my website - I lost a few of the images on the change over of names. I'll restore them as quickly as I can. I'm also letting you know that I will be posting video in the members area that won't be posted here.

Requested video. eg. I have been asked to wear only Ballet Heels for a week.

I will film that.

The channel linked to below is strictly for showcasing the heels on offer in order to have some sustainability with a channel at you tube. It's not that my videos were anything other than PG rated; it was the sustained attack by a person with Delusions of Grandeur and way too much time on its hands. Testing the waters really to see if it has calmed down, or is still in rabid monkey mode.
However it's free to join the members area, free to download the images and video so it's really only a matter of signing up to a more secure area. Maybe you'll meet a couple of already friends in there :-)

An image post for your enjoyment from The Saucy Ballerina!

The Saucy Ballerina

I've decided on this design for my little store's branding. From a hurried sketch to a digital logo. It's all coming together. Inspiration is a bit short at this hurry and rush time of the year.

Crank up the 70's music - recycled denim corset

So, I got a little carried away over the week and put this thing together. It reminds me of when I was a child, and I used to wear jeans with appliquéd designs on them, and ...they were all the rage. I am sure some of you will remember the little denim fitted waistcoats, teamed with matching jeans with floral designs and patches?

I used the busking from the kit. It's terribly flimsy as is the boning. As a comparison for me, it was a good exercise. Now I truly know the difference between the two. I mean, you can get away with it [video coming later] - but it's really not as good as the heavy duty stuff.

I also re-set the grommets in the black corset I made for peace of mind. It looks better too. [will show on video also]

Have a lot of work to do over the weekend - filming and such for the website. :-)






Why the kitteh? Kitteh has wool. Kitteh hates being brushed. Kitteh HAS to be brushed. Kitteh had a hard life before she came to Casa De Animal Palace. Perhaps some of you have noticed her stray hairs over my clothing? I know she's licking her tail, but the pokey tongue really does indicate her true personality. She has Staff(butlers, maids, lady in waiting - muggins, me). She is not owned. :-P
