Regency stays corset 14-18

 Regency corset, long line with cups.

This style was fashionable from the teens till well into 1840ties - this long line corset is great for achieving the correct period silhouette -  smooth torso and high breasts.

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

 Lacing all the way down the back, the purpose of the corset was not overly restricting the waistline, but just smoothing the body and providing support for the bust. They are surprisingly comfortable too! Putting them on can take some practice - you will need to lean forward and hold up your 'assets' quite high up! - you can see more on the layers and how to put them on here

 The lacing of the straps can be easily exchanged for a nice ribbon, to customise your pair:-).

 Main features:

 *made in strong cotton sateen, corsetry specific fabric, in white

* spiral lacing at the back - historically accurate and laces faster than double cross style

* quality metal eyelets and washers

* machine finish inside ( overlocker)

*  boned with steel boning

* sturdy wooden busk in front

* bound in cotton tape

* strong cotton lace

* straps are made separately,  easy to reposition at the back for the optimal fit.

 Here shown on size 12, 34F bra size - not a bad fit on the boobs, but the rest, especially the hip, much too big.

 bone flossing -  not as common in Regency as in Victorian era, but existed and prolonged the life of the corset!
