This versatile pattern can be used to construct stays from a wide range of eras, including Elizabethan, Tudor, and 18th century stays. This is the same corset pattern I use when making patterns for French Meadows Corsets, and I want to share it with you!

This pattern was adapted from the instructions in Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion 5. This is not a historically accurate pattern but I find it works really well for creating historically inspired corsets.

If you don't want to buy a store bought pattern or you struggle to find stays that fit you, try making one to your own measurements with my little guide.

A complete guide to taking the measurements you will need for this pattern can be found here: https://www.frenchmeadowscorsets.com/...
