A Client’s Pair of Stays…
c.1750s
The two halves prepared.
The Original French Stays
Caught in a midst of trying to finish these stays off for a client, we thought while we had a coffee break to post up some of the photo’s we’ve taken of these Stays being made.
The client has chosen the most beautiful blend of colours – the grey and blues going wonderfully together. the original stays we’ve also popped in for you to see.
We’ll keep it brief though -the details of the particular stays are:
