Regency Short Stays

I want to share my version of the Regency short stay.  I just finished this prototype and I’m very pleased with the results.   I have made the full length stays in the Regency/Napolionic/Directoire (take your pick)  style – early 1800’s.  This version comes just below the high waistline, has a drawstring across the top front,  gusseted cups, and adjustable straps.  It laces in the front and the back, for ease in dressing.  Though possibly not the most authentic corset of the period, it certainly will make the proper sillouette for this style gown.   And, considering the number inquiries, the ‘Jane Austen’ style is very popular at the moment!
