 A sumptous pair of stays, 1760-90s

 These are a bit of an expariment as i was trying some new techniques and solutions, so not perfect - the price is lowered to reflect that  :-) please see the pictures

 Features:

*Made in 2 layers of sturdy cotton duck canvas and top layer in stuning silk brocade, with period correct pattern,  a very rare fabric! 

* bound with cotton bias tape.

*  linen ties at the shoulder straps and at the back.

* spiral lacing 

* boned with  synthetic whalebone - sturdy and mimicking the qualities of the original whalebone well, centre front/back boned with flat steel bones for durability .

*metal grommets for lacing to save on costs -

* seams covered with tapes for additional durability

 * for economy's sake, the inside finish and constriction techniques are modern - do contact us  if you would like bespoke clothing made using original Georgian techniques!  

 

Bespoke stays like these start from £700.

 

 Measurements:

Stays close  at chest - 35" (89cm) , waist 31" ( 79cm), side length 8" ( 20cm).

Best suited to natural measurements of chest  38-44, waist 34-36"

The side seam had a big seam allowance - this can be taken out, gaining about 2 inches, if needed.

 

Stays, just like corsets, should be comfortable and not restrict your movement. It will take a few wears for the bones to mould to your body, so please do not lace too tight!

 

 The last photos show the same size stays in a different fabric on a body - just an example of how they wear!
