A pair of 18th-century style front-lacing stays, inspired by the structured silhouette associated with the Marie Antoinette era. Made from natural beige 100% cotton coutil, the stays are rigidly boned with closely spaced 1/4 in steel bones to lift and support the bust while shaping the waist.
The front laces through metal eyelets, allowing the fit to be adjusted. The waist tabs are cut in one with the body of the stays and curve over the hips, creating the distinctive 18th-century line. The over-the-shoulder straps adjust with front ties and are basted in at the back, making them easy to remove for a strapless period look. A beautiful foundation piece for 18th-century costume, historical styling, reenactment, theatrical wear, or Marie Antoinette-inspired dressing.
