Pink 18th century stays- part 2
How to make pink stays- part 2
A ducktape dressform is great to make small changes! It is not as good as your self as you have bones to work around but its better than having to lace up every time! 🙂And here are the final stays!!
I just realized I never did the shoulder straps haha! I will add those later then..
Edit: I have released the pattern as the Freya stays, both on paper and digital. you can find it here:

White 18th century stays
White linen stays done! This is a smaller version of the first stays i made in high school and that one i made from alternating the buttericks pattern B4484. I feel like I should have made them even smaller in the back but they will do for now.
I made the stays in 2 layers of linen and used strong plastic boning. You can find it here in my store.
On the edge i used white cotton tape. I sewed it from the front and folded it over to the back. Seams and lacing holes I sewed with vaxed linen thred. You can find ribbon here, and linen thread here.
I will make a new bump roll soon, this one is from high school… The shift is actually my medieval linen underdress, its the same pattern anyway.
The petticoat I made from the stiffest old sheet we had in the house, antique ones are alot better and stiffer than modern ones.
