Hi Suzi,
Yes, they also steamed the bones in 18th century, acording to Janet Arnold.
I can bend my wissner boning, so that it gets a curved shape, and it
works nicely i think.
Anyway, i replaced the thick 2 mm. bones inside with thinner bones
1mm. Its the more soft plastic boning i used for them.
And speaking of it, i actually have finished the stays now!
If you would like to have a look:
Next time i have time for it, i think i will try to make a tape
dress stand with a mock up pair of stays inside, to get the right
shape. Its so annoying with the modern dress stands, they are no use
at all...........
