18th Century Stays are Done!

The other day after a few days of sitting in my room getting thread all over my bed I finally finished my stays.
Two months of planning and work and I am finally done with them. I pretty proud of how well they turned out.

I need someone to help me lace up a bit tighter then this.

I chose not to do the typical tabs of that century cause when I made a muslin the tabs kept flipping up. I think It was my wide hips pushing them out and up. I decide to kept them in larger pieces and for the most part they stayed down, only when I bend over do the turn up. 

I could wear them all day if it wasn't so cold today, hence my long red socks. It's freezing here and all I want is to put my pjs on, have a cup of tea, and get back in bed.

Next month I'm working on my skirt supports. I haven't decide which one to do so I have a few days to think about. Plus I have my birthday to think about on the 14th so I mind will be there.
