Artist's Comments
So, originally I wanted to make a new, more authentic pair of stays than my old one, as that is covered in synthetic fabric with the wrong pattern. Finding a piece of cheap real silk brocade, I couldn't help but grab it, planning to make a strapless pair of stays this time, as the ones of my old one always showed when they shouldn't. Also, I wanted a fully boned one with artificial whalebone instead of my old half-boned spring steel one.
Somehow I messed with the pattern - although the 1780s stuff is really cut lower, this one here seems to be too short. I didn't want one of those ren faire wench things I hate to see so much on serious historical events. But I like the fabric, I love the shape (it's very moderately laced on that picture), so I might hope the upper layers of clothing, if stiff enough, might correct the chest shape, then... I guess I really should have another try with a better pattern and plain linen. |
