Redthreaded 1780s Stays Pattern
The Redthreaded 1780s Stays Pattern
is front-lacing, features a lower bust line, and is shorter overall when compared to our 1750s Stays Pattern. This creates a conical torso with a defined waist, a lower prow-front bosom, and drawn-back shoulders—hallmarks of the fashionable silhouette of the late 18th century. The front lacing also simplifies dressing, and the closed back ensures a lovely smooth line beneath the Anglaise and Italian gowns that were so popular during this period.
Design Features of the Redthreaded 1780s Stays Pattern:
- Appropriate for late 1770s to the early 1790s
- Designed for steel boning or synthetic whalebone
- Optional stomacher
- Cut-in-one tabs
- Adjustable shoulder straps
- Alterable side seams
The Redthreaded 1780s Stays Pattern includes multi-sized printed pattern, sewing instructions, fitting & mockup guides, and list of supply resources.
