Hi Tania,
You are talking about Elizabethan times? Stomachers would be pinned to the
bodice´s sides. Pins like dressing pins, and they would be stucked into the
bodice, so that they nearly dissapears and gets invissible.
As the body is made rather rigid by the pair of bodies (corsets) it wont
sloutche, and therefore there is not any risks by using pins. Off cause you
have to be aware that no pointed ends sticks out somewhere...........

Subject: [h-cost] Stomacher
I was recently made aware of the stomacher from some previous posts. I make
Elizabethan costumes and though it isn't strictly period I am interested in
learning more about them. I don't have the luxury of a ladies maid and this
invention would definitely make getting dressed by oneself easier. Can
anyone explain the workings of these, or possibly have a good picture of
how they're attached and how they cover the laces? Thank-you
Tania
