#fallforcostume day 14 is #stitching so i’m showing off my newest stays, with those endless rows of matching stitching. you can also see my hand sewn eyelets. which i am getting better at, though i did have to unpick and redo the first few 😖 there is also nearly invisible stitching here in the form of stitch-in-the-ditch to catch the underside of the binding, i was very pleased with myself for this. #stays #tudorstays #elizabethanstays #corset #16thcentury #17thcentury #greenstays #green #crown #royal #historicalsewing #periodsewing #etsy #belphoebedesigns #queenelizabethi #anneboleyn #sewing #stitch https://www.instagram.com/p/B3m7vUfAkaU/?igshid=jrmk064ubr4c

oh look i’m sharing these stays again for #fallforcostume day 22 - #green. sorry not sorry. here’s a close up of the back and that oh-so-tudor rose. i was also pretty pleased that i managed to position the leaves growing downward on all the tabs, that took some careful cutting. #stays #pairofstays #tudorstays #elizabethanstays #pairofbodies #corset #staymaker #costume #historicalcostume #periodcostume #periodsewing #green #tudorfashion #historicalfashion #sewingproject #tudorrose #belphoebedesigns #etsy https://www.instagram.com/p/B37gbqGAkyT/?igshid=puqpsbginbqh

for #fallforcostume day 16 - #first i am sharing the first ever pair of stays i made. i made them about 6 years ago, and i am very proud of them. they’re not strictly historically correct, more suitable for theatre wear than re-enactment, but they are very well sewn if i do say so myself, considering how early on in my costume journey i made them. i had only really been sewing properly for about a year, and it had been less than a year since i had decided to pursue costume design as a career. they don’t fit me anymore, but i’m never going to get rid of them because i am sentimental about almost all of my work, especially my stays. #stays #pairofstays #tudorstays #elizabethanstays #pairofbodies #corset #staymaker #costume #historicalcostume #periodcostume #periodsewing #green #tudorfashion #historicalfashion #sewingproject #firstsewingproject #greensleeves https://www.instagram.com/p/B3sDkDjgGkV/?igshid=j4oolnxi6nzc
