Explanation "Stays and Corsets" ; "Stays" refer to the long garments on the pattern above, like the one's Jen made, and was used to describe boned undergarments until the end of the 18th Century. When the "Corset" was introduced in France as a garment in it's own right, the two terms became interchangeable.
Jen suggests that you might need to make a size smaller than that given on the envelope. If in doubt make a mock up.
Jen's version is made in pink silk using synthetic whalebone and duchesse bias binding.
Don't forget the pattern gallery!
