Be "uplifted" by Regency stays!   Wear under Reconstructing History RH838 Regency Evening Dress.

This easy-to-use pattern, based on extant and pictorial examples, helps you make your own light, short-waisted corsets, or stays, circa 1800.

Fits busts 30½"-48" and waists 23"-41". All sizes in one envelope.
Or order a Made to Measure pattern in your personal measurements.
