New Project is here! I have been sewing a pair of transitional stays of
late, based on an exact garment. This was such an interesting, and at
times, frightening, project. I have never boned so much! My stays are VERY
comfortable and fit well, Praise God! These are a better style than my
short stays, as they offer more support. The large cups are better for
me than those gussets in my short stays. I know this stay has been
widely recreated, and now I understand why. I love the support and
longer length. I actually used an old Tudor stay pattern, and altered it
big time. You don't recognize it as the same pattern! I did not want to buy a pattern to make these, all though
Past Patterns has one available. The result was not identical to the
exact garment, but very close! | |

| Back of Stays- I boned more than called for in both the back and front. |
 |
| Straps, I like the thin straps-very nice and easy to conceal under a dress! |
 |
| Lacing on front and bottom binding. There are no tabbies on the center front! |
 |
| Boning channels under bust. |
 |
| Tabbies-so cute! |
There you have it! Enjoy!
