We have a handful of #18thc stays at the Fenimore. This set is in quite good shape, and since it's missing its lining, we can see all of the interesting details of construction. (Full 360 of photos at the link!) collections.fenimoreart.org/objects/5219...

Patterns of Fashion 6 showed a lot more going on with stays in terms of inner layers than I think we all realized, going by the exterior grain and seam lines. I'd really like to experiment more with horizontal boning panels like this, to see if it helps me get that flat front. 🗃️🪡
