"I found that the"bust" measurement for the Bra, but it is in fact underbust. Therefore, if you have a 36C bra size normally you'd cut 36, but if you were a larger size say 36F-38C you'd go for the 38, a bit like how modern bra measurements work. However, for the Stays "bust" means overbust.

We don't offer kits for this or any other corset pattern (apart from the Simplicity 9769) because it is vital that you make a mock up first. The corset is uniquely fitting garment and the only way to correctly establish the busk and bones needed is make a test garment and fit it first. We have many many corsets over many years and not used the same combination of busk and bones twice!
