10:20 😊 I wear corsets, and stays, on a daily basis, it helps to have the "leftover" lace on Top of the stays and tuck them in there - Not on the bottom. There is usually less pressure on the top of the stays rather than on the lower back 🤗 it is also easier to adjust them that way without needing to reach under the skirts 😂

I wear 1740s stays everyday to work and just anywhere and by now, they feel like another part of me and without them I feel naked and unsupported. They work wonders for my back at work as I do alot of shifting and lifting and stand for hours and I have lower and upper back pains from arthritis. I cross lace since I really dont care for the look of spiral lacing and when I finish lacing, I just tuck the remainder inside where it wont become uncomfortable. Maybe try stays that lace only in the front or try cross lacing in the back and just let the tied bow dangle away from the body. Also, the belly pouch is easily solved with a more volumous petticoat worn right at the natural waist ontop of the stays to give the "small waist" look, hiding the belly. If the stays are worn ontop of volumous petticoats on the outside, then you get a small waist and flattened belly which is interesting. I wear my stays ontop depending on what petticoats im wearing that day or the look I'm going for. This is more of a 17th century thing, where the stays were actually the bodice of the gown with a separate, matching petticoat and really not historically accurate for 18th century.

I enjoy wearing corsets and bodices every day. I mostly wear bodices mostly because cleaning mine are easy. My first pair were from the big pattern company..... simpisity? Maybe. Later it’s been 13&14 century bodices. No boning unless I want them. I just haven’t made stays yet to compare.

I think the green shirt went fine with the oranges skirt. Just my opinion. You are so adorable. I have an illness and wear a back brace to actually support my abdomen so I'm going to make stays. There's no abdominal core support device and stays are prettier and more discreet than a back brace. Also, make adjustments to the ones you have to fit you. And the stays probably get more and more comfortable as they get worn in. I think im making my stays out of some upcyxled denim. I am trying to make my own clothes, in natural fibers, as much upcycled material as possible. So not historical accurate. Historical garments made to be useful to me now. I enjoy my history bounding pieces. And im enjoying the change to my wardrobe. I egt more compliments too.

I usually wrap the rest of my lacing around my waist, but I will sometimes roll up my excess and tuck it into a tie on pocket to hold it. I’ve noticed that just shoving it up the stays like you said does get super uncomfortable throughout the day

thank you! Stays (also called bodies in the 17th c) were worn in the 17th century, but they're a little different from 18th century stays. Sometimes, the bodice of a dress would have boning and would lace up, basically making a two-in-one dress/stays combo (this continued in some court dress fashions into the 18th century). There were also stays that (as far as I can tell; I'm not an expert) were separate undergarments worn under the mantua or gown. This version from the V&A seems more similar to the former, as it has sleeves attached: collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O10446/stays-and-busk-unknown/ and Morgan Donner has a video about making a set of bodies that are more reminiscent of stays (e.g. no sleeves). hope this helps!
