So, I'm slowly, painfully, taking the stays back apart and then putting them back together. I've cut the sides down so it's a matter of rebinding them and sewing the pieces back together. Sewing the pieces back together doesn't take long but rebinding? Gag!
In the mean time, other projects I'd like to work on after I get these stays done and the dress:
http://www.metmuseum.org/Works_of_Art/collection_database/the_costume_institute/corset/objectview.aspx?collid=8&oid=80072806 - It's a nice simple regency corset. I hope
http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/follower-of-bronzino-portrait-of-a-lady -Similar to this style but in gray velvet with a pink undergown
