I did have a go at wrap stays but didn't like the feeling of the way everything sat with gussets.<br />Started looking at this pattern. Do you think chording could replace the boning and it still work?M'ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02697943030492173302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-19493328925038367342009-11-18T07:21:30.234-06:002009-11-18T07:21:30.234-06:00Most of our Wal Marts have shut down their fabric ...Most of our Wal Marts have shut down their fabric sections also, but when we moved I was thrilled to discover we seem to be situated between two Wal Marts who still have fabric and I'm really loving the closer Wal Mart right now. . .they've had some incredible deals lately. <br /><br />Regency gowns *can* tend to make one look pregnant. What about a romantic style gown? Those give me more of a defined waist and the full skirts minimize my post-baby "pooch" :).Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-33459553432448594292009-11-18T06:09:21.351-06:002009-11-18T06:09:21.351-06:00Sarah, I just LOVE the Red Tag fabrics at Joann...Sarah, I just LOVE the Red Tag fabrics at Joann's as well, especially when they are 1/2 price! I used to buy fabric at Wal Mart but now the one nearest us closed their fabric section so I can't just run over and browse after picking up milk anymore. :( I think I want some of your voile!!!<br />Your stays look great! I know you must have put a lot of work into them. My girls say that stays are comfortable and that I need to make some and a Regency dress.....hmm, I think I would just look pregnant!Mama Sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367807275221698690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-3439196002414567362009-11-17T08:19:54.111-06:002009-11-17T08:19:54.111-06:00Kathy, the lacing doesn't really add bulk but ...Kathy, the lacing doesn't really add bulk but serves to close the corset in the front and yes, these are for historic dressing. :) I think these are the last stays I'll be making for a while though, I just need a break from it all. My next ones will be 1770's style but I'm not ready to plunge into this era quite yet since I have NOTHING from it at all, clothing wise. <br /><br />Heehee Emily that is too funny. David got me this fabric at Wal Mart last year. I fell in love with it at first sight and it was originally meant to be an 1860's style dress but I was VERY pregnant with Malachi last year at this time and needed something with a higher waist so did it up 1820's style. Wal Mart yields some great finds at times. I just got 10 yards of a beautiful sheer voile, pale blue with a sparse viney, flowery design in darker blue and yellow over the weekend at Wal Mart for $2/yard. Half of it is for a friend of mine and half for me. Wal Mart and Red Tag sections at Jo Anns are my best friends. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-27763827704780306352009-11-16T09:04:39.585-06:002009-11-16T09:04:39.585-06:00They look fantastic.

You are really talented. <br /><br />I have some of that fabric in my stash, I think, but just a little, for Maria...funny how Wal*Mart's fabric follows you wherever you go. :PEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117120475033380036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6237278258771812379.post-53617414312360862232009-11-15T23:01:08.516-06:002009-11-15T23:01:08.516-06:00As always, you look fantastic!
