i am making one last effort to find an extant set of regency era unboned stays (or having only a few bones). in my travels i have seen only 4 or 5 of these, and all are very different from one another. i do have one pattern a colleague is sharing for a front-closing version, but would really like to find at least 3 good examples that could reasonably be made by the average seamstress with a good pattern. if anyone knows of a set in either a private or public or any museum collection that we could go & study, that would be really nice.
if anyone has access to or can share information on these, i would appreciate it. we are working on this pattern for docent use at a living history site c. 1800-1815. thanks for any and all information, susannah Fig & Folly Historic Patterns www.fig-n-folly.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
