These stays are composed of 9 pattern panel pieces that allow nice movement when it comes to terms of 18th century middle class clothing.

They are fully boned and provide body support as well as they adjust to your body movements and curves over time.


Romantic pale pink floral print cotton canvas outer layer is just delicious to the eye in the way the fabric was cut to allow a harmonious transition of the flower blossoms, leaves, and berries.

Tabs, seams, and top neckline of the stays are lined with blush pink genuine suede. The leather edging is slashed on the inside to reduce bulkiness.
The seams are flat open and stitched down on the inside. There is no lining - if you’d like one added for a fee, please reach out.


Synthetic boning throughout lays perfectly ergonomically with a slight outwards curve. The boning and shape of the stays will adjust to your body.

Back offset spiral lacing with champagne colored satin laces.
