I came across this post as I was re...Hello there!<br /> I came across this post as I was researching maternity stays for my second maternity corset. My first I made using Past Patterns, but the shape is very much Regency and not 1860's- so for me they fit funny, the bust gussets are strange, and there's no support or boning and no curvature. May I ask why you decided to go with a Regency era pattern for yours? Is it because of the length, or shape? I'm considering using a regular corset pattern (one I've used several times before and I know it fits me) and adding shoulder straps and laced gussets, and cording sections of it and using a few spiral bones. In your opinion, would it work? The original period maternity stays I've seen are all closer to a regular 1860's corset shape rather than a Regency era shape.

So they are a useful addition to the wardrobe of any lady who is in her childbearing years and is planning to expand her family, I suppose. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-57122482557702762972012-04-03T09:23:32.991-05:002012-04-03T09:23:32.991-05:00the second picture is soooo cute!
