Regency short stays corset

Regency corset, shortline with cups.

This style was fashionable from roughly 1800 - 1820, giving a smooth torso and high breasts - perfect for the empire line styles

 The short stays comes up to mid bust providing the support from below, and the breasts are contained by the chemise.

It ends at a high waistline, so not as restrictive as the long line one - perfect for riding, dancing and more vigorious activities:-)  Lacing all the way down the back, the  purpose of the stays was not overly restricting the waistline, but just smoothing  the body and provide support for the bust. They are surprisingly comfortable too!
