(I know the corset in the picture isn’t quite right for representing this pattern but we make do with what free images we can find)

This post links to a tutorial and pattern for a wonderful Regency style wrap corset/set of stays that gives the same shape as the more commonly seen lace up versions but is much easier for people to get on by themselves. Perfect for a world where ladies’ maids are not quite as commonas back in the 1800s!

The page is in German but luckily most web browsers are happy to deal with that for you.

Several YouTubers have made these stays and have made videos about them, these are very useful if you need help or just want to see what they look like on real people.
