  • This versatile pattern can be used to construct stays from a wide range of eras, including Elizabethan, Tudor, and 18th century stays. This is the same corset pattern I use when making patterns for French Meadows Corsets, and I want to share it with you!
    This pattern was adapted from the instructions in Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 5. This is not a historically accurate pattern but I find it works really well for creating historically inspired corsets.
    If you don't want to buy a store bought pattern or you struggle to find stays that fit you, try making one to your own measurements with my little guide.
    A complete guide to taking the measurements you will need for this pattern can be found here: www.frenchmead...

    You are an excellent teacher. You actually know to teach. You explain the math, you go slow enough that I don't have to back up and listen again, and you don't rush the construction part. I watch a lot of this type of video, and you are one of the best! Thank you!

    this was really insightful - thank you! It's always interesting to see how everyone makes stays! Each time I make a new stay I try something new or different!

    This was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your secrets ❤. Is there a chance you could do a small tutorial on how to make this into the regency stays?

    Thank you so much. That was very helpful and very easy to follow 😊.
    I live in a country with the metric system so I got a little bit confused about the math but I still got it right. Will definitely try this since I always wanted to try to make stays. ❤

    What type of boning would you recommend for this? Also thank you so much! This video was so helpful 🫶

      From the research I’ve done, there’s two big options: zip ties or synthetic whale bone. If you go with the synthetic boning, you can get it from Burnley & Trowbridge in various thicknesses by the yard. Pricewise, I think both options come out about the same. If you do use zip ties, I’d say buy the longest you can, as that’s the cheapest route (often the price difference between 18” and 24” is negligible but that can buy you 2 bones per tie or more).
