'Follow along as I sew 18th century stays using historical techniques!  Historical costuming seems to be experiencing an uptrend lately, thanks to certain individuals becoming quite popular online.  I know there are many people out there who are interested in learning to sew, or those of you who know the basics, but don’t know how to apply those skills to something as complex as a pair of stays.  If you have been swept up by the notion of historical costuming, but just… haven’t had the confidence to start, this video is especially for you.     Though I do have a fair bit of sewing experience, I am not an expert, or a historian, and I am just beginning my own historical costuming journey.  This is my first attempt at historically accurate stays, and my second hand-stitching project.  I say this to encourage you.  If you want to start historical costuming: go for it.  The results will probably exceed your expectations, and it could be the start of something great.  I\'m sure I made many mistakes in this project that I\'m not even aware of, so I do welcome your critique in the comments!   I let this video run quite long, because I wanted the breakdown of details to be as complete as I could possibly make it.  If you have already purchased Patterns of Fashion 5, or Corsets & Crinolines, or if you have a stack of fabric sitting guiltily uncut in a drawer, my dearest wish is that this video will give you the courage to make that first cut.
