1790's Stays Finished

[atherleisure]

My new stays are finished. I used a pattern from Corsets and Crinolines that's dated to the late 1790's. They're mostly hand-sewn, but I'll admit to doing the boning channels and seaming the lining panels to each other by machine. I've made 100% hand-sewn stays and can say that all that back-stitching for the channels just isn't my thing when

Very nice! The first picture makes it look like you get a slightly rounder shape. Perfect length for mid-late 1790s.
