In 1999, being unable to afford fully fashioned stockings, Thomas decided to invest £100 in nylons to sell at The London Fetish Fair.^[1] This led to Thomas creating her own website.

In 2002, What Katie Did's first reproduction of the Bullet bra was launched, the first to be produced in the country.^[2] The next year, the company opened a boutique in London Portobello.^[3] In 2010, Thomas was asked to advise on an bra of Marilyn Monroe that was put up for auction.^{[citation needed]}

Thomas has also appeared advising on corsets on ABC's Nightline in 2012 and in the same year was nominated for Cosmopolitan's Businesswoman of the Year.^[4]
