Stays Pictures

[atherleisure]

I finally too decent pictures of my new stays on me. I tried the other day, but somehow my camera was on manual focus, and they were all blurry. Of course, by the time I looked at them on my computer instead of the tiny camera screen, I had taken off the stays. This is better.

I'm really pleased with them.







The boning channels are machine-sewn, but everything else is hand-sewn. Rough on the fingers, but very satisfying.

Thank you!

Oooh they look great! They also give you a really nice 1740s shape with the longer torso and straighter front.

Thank you!

Gorgeous! The color choices turned out nicely and the little binding and eyelets.

[atherleisure]

Thanks! The eyelets are small, but they were as big as I could make them with four layers of drill and two of brocade!

That turned out so great! It's a shame to have to cover it up with a dress.

[atherleisure]

Thank you. I actually looked into that concept of stays as stomacher, but it really doesn't sound like anything anyone actually ever did that. Nor does it sound like it would actually work. It would have been nice to be able to show them off, but I guess I'll just have to be happy knowing I have them!
