Making Early 19th Century Stays (c. 1810s) Mock-up

My first pair of (mock-up) stays using a proper c. 1810s historical pattern! I've never made anything using a pattern based off an extant garment from the early 19th century before. Well maybe that's a lie - I have made a regency dress before based off a Sense & Sensibility pattern but I'm not sure if that counts because that, to me, is still a 'commercial' pattern. Anyway, I found this pair of really simple early 19th century c. 1810s short stays pattern on a blog which also features a short stays study (please do read it and check out the other blog posts too - there is a heap of research and studying of extant garments). I believe the stays are a sort of transitional stay which would have been worn during the late 18th century and into the early 19th century (please correct me if I am wrong!). The ideal silhouette for this period would have been upright posture with the breast up and lifted. I think this would have been better had I used a wooden busk and a heavier duty cotton fabric, but it's all an experiment! The pattern only has two pieces and is highly customisable. I like that I don't need to have lacing and sew eyelets if I don't want to AND I can put this pair of stays easily on by myself! This project was not daunting at all for one of my first more 'historical' projects and I'm glad I made the mock-up. It meant that I didn't have the pressure on myself to make it perfect or use historical techniques. However, when I make the real pair, I will perhaps try to incorporate some hand sewing techniques just for fun. I will most definitely not be hand sewing the entire garment though - I don't have the time or patience for that!!!! Historical undergarments are really quite fascinating, and after this project, I am itching to branch out and try making undergarments, whether that be a chemise (the one I'm wearing in the video will have it's own making of video so stay tuned!), combination set or corset, from other eras. I do still really want to make a proper Victorian era dress one day and I would need the right foundation garments for it. I do have a whole lineup of other projects that I need to complete first but hopefully I finish all of them within the next few months so I can start on some more historical garments!

I am a sewing hobbyist and lover of fantasy and historical costumes, but I also dabble in modern garment alterations sometimes. When first starting this YouTube channel, I had so many designs, ideas and concepts for fantasy movie costumes, which I illustrated through the use of photoshop. Now my interests lie with actually physically making and creating. Of course, I don't have the time and resources to make garments as spectacular as my photoshop designs, but I am still able to enjoy the process of constructing simpler items from start to finish. On this channel, you will find a wealth of sewing diary vlogs in which I share my sewing journey and thoughts. I am an avid watcher of fellow seamstresses here on YouTube (among my favourites include Angela Clayton, Bernadette Banner and Morgan Donner) and so I thought that I would join in on the fun and upload some content of my own. Hopefully it's helpful to someone out there! #HistoricalStyle #19thCentury #SewingVlog
