Historical Belle | Regency Long Stays: Making My First Ever Stays!!! @HistoricalBelle | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I'm finally doing it. I'm finally making my first ever pair of stays! I have been sewing for a decade and I have never made my own stays or corset, but that changes today as I show you how I made Regency Long Stays. I’m using the Red Threaded Regency Long Stays pattern in size medium.
Long stays have been featured prominently in many recent regency dramas, probably because they look more of the shape that most people assume a corset looks like rather then short stays.
But, unlike Bridgerton might have you think, regency stays were supportive garments used to lift and separate the bust. The goal for a fashionable silhouette was a lifted, separated, round bust. The waist was essentially ignored.
As I said, I’m using the Red Threaded Regency Long Stays pattern in size medium. But I want to note that this pattern that I am using in the video is from before the pattern reboot, so if you have a newer pattern there are probably some differences.
