What Katie Did

WEEKEND BOUDOIR GLAMOUR

Valentine’s calls for something effortless and indulgent — from our lace kimonos to our softly draped kaftans, now on sale. Plus, a peek behind the scenes and a quick vote on which cosy loungewear fabric you’d love us to make next.
Darling ,
With Valentine’s Day falling on a Saturday this year, there’s no rushing out the door or squeezing romance into a lunch break. Instead, there’s time. Time for a slow morning, coffee in bed, and something beautiful to wrap yourself (or your partner) in before the day even begins.
Our vintage inspired loungewear was made for moments like this. Effortlessly glamorous, wonderfully comfortable, and just as suited to treating yourself as it is to gifting someone special.

Choose from our lace kimonos in classic black or vintage peach, available in both full-length and short styles depending on how dramatic you’re feeling. The long black lace kimono is pure boudoir theatre, with wide sleeves, rich satin trim and a fluid, ankle-grazing silhouette that feels utterly indulgent. The short lace kimono offers the same Old Hollywood glamour in a more playful, easy-to-wear length; perfect for lounging, layering, or answering the door with aplomb.

If you prefer something softer and more relaxed, our georgette kaftan wrap is a dream. Inspired by 1960s screen sirens, it drapes effortlessly with a loose, unfitted shape and a satin tie belt to gently define the waist. Available in black or vintage peach, it’s light, floaty, and ideal for unhurried mornings. They're now half price as we say goodbye to this much-loved style: once they're gone, they really are gone.

Whether you’re planning breakfast in bed, a lazy morning together, or simply want something beautiful and comfortable to spend the day in, these are pieces designed to make staying in feel special.

IN OTHER NEWS

While you’re thinking about what to wear next weekend, my brain is already firmly in next winter. Fashion does that to you.
I’ve recently been painstakingly unpicking one of my own vintage robes to take a pattern from it. It’s a wonderfully heavy, full-skirted, floor-length piece that I’ve worn to death – truthfully, it wasn’t really wearable when I bought it, but the shape and fabric were too lovely to resist. I’m planning to make myself a cosy version this weekend, but it got me thinking… if we were to make a robe like this for What Katie Did, what would you want it made from?
My instinct is cosy velour. I practically live in it during winter (I’m typing this wrapped up in my much-loved navy velour dress by Joanie - how I'll miss that brand), but I also know there’s a growing backlash against synthetic fabrics. So I’d love your thoughts. Cast your vote below:

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR US CUSTOMERS

We always try to keep our returns policy as fair and flexible as possible. Unfortunately, ongoing US import tariffs mean we’re unable to reclaim duties on returned orders, and these costs are no longer something we can absorb.
As a result, for US customers only, orders placed after 1st February 2026 will incur a restocking fee if refunded. We’re very happy to offer store credit for the full value as an alternative, which can be used at any time.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support — we truly appreciate it.
