'Hello everyone and welcome to a new video! In this video, I vlogged a bit about my process of toiles/mock-ups for a new pair of 18th century stays. As I explain in the intro, my experience is limited to two historical patterns (both from Norah Waugh\'s Corsets and Crinolines) and one commercial pattern (the Simplicity 8162 by American Duchess), so I am no expert at all! Being self-taught, I really struggle with fitting, so I thought it might be helpful for other people to see some of the things that helped me work through the mock-ups and pattern alterations. I started off with the Augusta Stays pattern by Scroop Patterns, but ended up scaling up and using a pattern from Patterns of Fashion 5, by the School of Historical Dress. I do still want to revist the Augusta Stays, because I now (retrospectively) feel like the first mock-up wasn\'t as far off as I thought it was, and I would like to undo all the mistakes with my waist placement. Hope you can grab a cup of tea/coffee and let me know down below any tips you might have for mock-ups! This process actually happened back in January, I spent the whole month working on these mock-ups, and I have since been slowly handstitching my stays together (which is why some of the footage is a bit winter dark). There is a little preview of the finished stays on my Instagram (@catscostumery) so head over there :) Also a big thank you to @Retro Claude for the video title suggestion :) -- THINGS MENTIONED -- Augusta Stays by Scroop Patterns https://www.scrooppatterns.com/products/augusta-stays-1775-1789 Patterns of Fashion 5 https://shop.theschoolofhistoricaldress.org.uk/product/patterns-of-fashion-5-the-content-cut-construction-and-context-of-bodies-stays-hoops-and-rumps-c-1595-1795/ Stays Fitting Article by Lady of the Wilderness https://ladyofthewilderness.wordpress.com/2019/12/08/troubleshooting-fit-in-1780s-stays/ this blog post is amazing, do check it out!
