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...........
