This is another pattern that I loved using. This was the first set of fully boned stays that I have ever made. I had little, if any, trouble putting these stays together. As always, I enjoyed her directions, with the historical facts peppered in. I used one layer of stiff mattress ticking, two layers of canvas, corduroy for the cover and flannel for the lining. I did skip the shoulder straps on this set of stays, as a personal preference. And, let me just say that these stays were very comfortable, and gave the correct silhouette for the era. I will be using this pattern again.
