Corsetry
Blue Modern Corset
A taffeta corset with coutil backing and spiral boning, with a centre back lacing and centre front busk fastening.
Finishing touches include bias binding and decorative beading.
White Regency Stays
Regency style stays made with coutil and cotton, reinforced with baleen style boning. These feature decorative unfilled boning channels on the side and back to give extra strength, and centre front spiral lacing.
Finishing touches include cotton twill tape straps and hand-sewn cotton twill tape binding.
The characteristic short style of this lends itself to the fashions of the era with high waistlines. Stays such as these would have been worn over a chemise or with a petticoat under the outer gown.
