Kliterati Ouvert High Waist Brief

Kiss Me Deadly

£74.00 GBP

High waisted briefs, suspenders, and ouvert knickers are all very popular here, so when we saw this we thought you might seriously love it!

It combines the red satin with black erotic print from the Kliterati range, with sheer black panels as well as the ouvert crotch and the peephole at the back.  The satin is low stretch, for stomach-flattening properties, and the waist has a double panel of powernet for nipping-in. It's finished with 4 detachable wide metal clipped suspender straps. It matches the rest of the Kliterati range from Kiss Me Deadly

Made in the UK

Like most of our UK styles, this does tend to run tight.

Playful Promises items can take about a week to dispatch - and they're all limited editions that can sell out fast!

This Bettie Page lingerie line is created by Playful Promises; lingerie was clearly a staple of Bettie’s modelling wardrobe, especially in the work she did with fetish photographer Irving Klaw. With a more pin-up and kitsch approach than Kiss Me Deadly designs, they offer retro fans a different take on the vintage theme - less dangerous, more fun!

This shaper, girdle dress or corselette (depending on your favourite word) is made from sheer black mesh side panels with a red satin centre and underwired red satin moulded-cup bra. This has removable black straps, and fastens with hooks and eyes all the way up the back.

Plum Cupless Vargas Dress

Kiss Me Deadly

£39.00 GBP £89.00 GBP

This girdle dress is a KMD classic with the pesky bra-sized bit removed - because that means that you can wear it with your favourite or best fitting bra, no matter what your size. This version is in a rich, vibrant plum, which matches the Leonie dress and gown.

Like the original, there's a double layer of stretchy control mesh that will pull in your stomach and cinch your waist, finished with six metal garter tabs for stockings, which have clear grips. There are no bones, and we removed the hook and eye from the back as the dye process isn't compatible, so this version is more of a pull-on style. The powernet curves up into a strap shape at the front, attached to an elastic shoulder strap with adjustable sliders.

Rose Noir Latex Nouveau Girdle Skirt

Kiss Me Deadly

Made To Order Blue Fan Lace Girdle

Kiss Me Deadly

Sold Out

This item is made to order when Lou, Kiss Me Deadly's Sheffield-based corsetiere, knows she has enough time!  It takes around 2-4 weeks.

Fan Laced Girdles were invented to help women dress themselves. Now, in a modern context, that might sound insane, but there was a period where women's clothing came with an almost compulsory corset, and though you can lace those yourself, the longer length the corset and the less flexible you get, the more challenging that becomes! In fan lacing, the laces come into straps on either side, and you simple pull on them rather than having to adjust all the corset lacing individually. It's a signature look, and surprisingly practical!

Originally, these tend to be made in a sort of peachy cotton with heavy duty lacing, Kiss Me Deadly wanted to update the style. These are made with duchess satin, synthetic whalebone, and a touch of powernet, with contrast fan lacing in ribbon coming into a grosgrain ribbon strap. Because this garment is largely non stretch, it functions more like a corset than our usual girdles. Rather than a busk, it does up with hooks and eyes down the front side.

Sizing; this garment is non-stretch fabric so all the flexibility comes from the lacing, as with corsets. This means you can have them fully closed or up to a few inches apart  up and down the back (obviously it's fine to have it more open at the bottom than at the top, or any other variation. We wouldn't recommend more than about a 3 inch gap). Fully closed, the measurements are:

Please bear in mind that these measurements are the SMALLEST the garment can be.

Made to order in the UK - please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery.
Lou Watson handmakes our corsets in a workshop in Sheffield, England.

This corset garment from is inspired partly by all of you who wanted something that could go under dresses, and partly by how much I hate busks. This version comes in black duchess satin.

It's got a zip in the side of the back, plus ribbon back lacing. The rest is steel boning (so it will reduce you by a couple of inches), satin with a coutil inner, and black satin ribbon lacing.

Juliet Curve Girdle

Playful Promises

£38.00 GBP

Playful Promises items take about a week to dispatch.

Inspired by retro glamour, with an added touch of Playful naughtiness, the Juliet girdle is all about the sheer! Compiled of black mesh, featuring a naughty back cut out, this matches the Juliet Bra and High Waist Brief perfectly. This roll-on girdle is sheer, in a retro-inspired cut, sitting at the smallest part of your waist to accentuate an hourglass shape. Four thick metal suspender straps finish off the look and hold your stockings in place.

Kiss Me Deadly

£235.00 GBP

Who could resist this lustrous ivory silk? An unusually heavy weight of silk makes it suitable for corsets and meant excitement! Flat and spiral steel bones combine for waist reduction, and for aesthetics we chose satin ribbon back lacing. It's shown with the ivory bralet and knicker and the Dietrich set.

It also has a modesty panel and front opening steel busk, this underbust corset has a slightly longer, curvier line than the DeVille, and will reduce your waist by 2-4 inches. Order a size 2-4 inches smaller than your natural waist.
