The Augusta Stays are the perfect foundation to any late 18th century wardrobe. They use a pattern based on numerous extant late 18th century stays and a sophisticated boning layout to achieve the fashionable silhouette of the late 1770s and 1780s.
- Choose between detailed instructions on how to make the stays with period accurate materials and construction methods, or equally detailed instructions on making a simplified version using methods taken from modern theater and film costume construction. Or mix and match the two methods to get a historically inspired look with less hand-sewing.
- In order to make fitting as easy as possible, the Augusta Stays come in two bust-to-waist ratio size sets, straight and curvy!
- Available in 3 choices of size sets.
- Printed Paper Pattern.
