18th Century Stays - My First Historical Costuming Corset

I made my first set of 18th Century stays! This project was completed with the help of the RedThreaded 1780s stays pattern, as well as tips from the American Duchess 18th Century Dressmaking book. It was my entry to a corset sewing competition but more importantly it was a perfect historical sewing project for beginners. It goes under clothes, so no worries if it looks bad, and it gives a really good idea about how the silhouette of the rest of the outfit needs to look like. This is the first part of my English Gown or "Robe a L'Anglaise" project. The other videos in this series are linked below:

Part 1 of Gown:    • On the Shoulders of Giants | 18th Century ...  
Part 2 of Gown:    • And You Can Too: My Hand-Sewn 18th Century...  

It was such a fun experience and I hope you continue to come back to see more sewing adventures to the past! Costube is such a great community and I'm excited to get going on many more historical sewing projects.
