Making 18th Century Stays

[@sanwich626]

This is one of the only videos I've found with making back-lacing stays, so this is really helpful!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Awww yay, I am so happy it was helpful!

[@GingerGeekGirl]

The crispness of this flatlining technique is SO GOOD. I might have to re-cut my Jack corset lining... 🤔

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

It seriously has changed the game for corsetry for me.

[@emilywelsh5359]

Thank you so much for this video! The step by step instructions were so helpful ☺️

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Oooo 18th century stays with modern construction! Where were you 2 nights ago? I am sitting here watching this as I hand stitch my pieces together i did sew the boning channels by machine but hey i found you through this you tube marathon so yeah!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Aww well I am glad you found me, I love using modern techniques for the most part. There's a time and place for hand sewing for sure but if I can do something on machine I will try it at least lol

[@ShiDaDia]

This was such a helpful video! Provided much needed visuals. ☺️

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Yay I’m so happy to help!

Omg I love this beautiful stays!! How gorgeous! I love the purple

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you! My one regret is that I cannot for the life of me remember where I bought it and what item it was, all I know is that it's silk taffeta or shantung and that it's my favorite shade of purple lol

[@MarianeLee]

Perfect :o I'm impressed by the final result!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you! 😊

[@KatOfDiamonds]

Loved the blend of tutorial and oh wait hold on let’s do this with bonus doggo❣️

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Hahah thank you, I am trying to make it less stiff, like you know finding the balance of this is how you do this but also sewing is fun lol

[@debbralehrman5957]

That makes it a little less scary watching you do this. I like seeing it done with a machine. Question do you regularly do pushup? The Stays look comfortable.

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Lol no I rarely do push ups I actually hate push ups but I see on IG all the time people doing the “push up test” in corsets so I thought it would be silly to try, then I realized I suck at them and hate them lol

[@Jedimanda]

I gotta try these stays!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

They are fabulous and what I love about them is when you purchase them you purchase only your size so you don’t have to deal with all the other size lines.

[@elle9275]

So many comments to add! 1. Your dog is perfect and I want him/her. ;) 2. LOVE your nail polish! 3. Love how your method is a modern way to make a historical garment. and FINALLY (lol) 4. what were you using for the boning? were those just large white zip ties? Keep up the good work!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Aww thank you! I used a combination of synthetic whale bone and zip ties!

[@MyT.T215]

How did you see the horizontal boning channel ? Very beautiful indeed.

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Instead of sewing straight lines through that section I pivot at the intersection, sew along the horizontal boning channel and then pivot a second time to go down the adjacent boning channel.

[@shevuansereday7421]

Beautiful!!!!!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Superspaceify]

So good!!

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Thank you!

[@Staceykimberly_cosplay]

What is the secret to matching your boning channels with the pattern channels? I try to get my lines lined up but they always come out weird.

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

I directly copy them from the lines on the pattern. I use a light box and put the pattern piece then the fabric down and draw right on the fabric.

[@LindaUrsin]

Love it. FOr a larger bust, would you recommend gores to avoid a uni-boob effect?

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Not for this style, red threaded actually sells the pattern in multiple sizes. It looks like on their Etsy the largest size in this pattern is for a 42" waist and they do not add gores to it.

[@LindaUrsin]

@@CaseyReneeCosplay With a 38 waist and a 45 bust, a different pattern might be better for me :)

[@TealCheetah]

Eva is a cutie

[@CaseyReneeCosplay]

Awwww thank you!
