Pattern Drafting Made Easy (ish) | Regency Short Stays

[@Ora_Lin]

A few mistakes I made in this video: 1. my gore size calculation doesn’t lineup in this video, The original measurements i used to draft the stays were bust 32, under bust 28, hence the gores being about an inch, but with the measurements I used in this video they would be closer to half an inch. 2. When measuring the back strap with you should subtract your lacing gap. I completely forgot this.

I’m so excited to make this but like a stays binder.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who patterns like this. I always see people being extremely precise and I love that but have no idea how they do it! I treat sewing as more of an art than a formula if that makes sense.

Looking forward to trying this. It was a tad confusing, but usually (for me) that resolves itself, once I actually do the steps. Lots of rain next week, so perfect timing!

oh no! my drafting process is a little chaotic so that's understandable. Hopefully things make more sense once they're on paper but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! (Instagram may be a better platform for those questions because you can send pictures)

Only a little confusing, but I went back and watched the construction video again, then I understood what you were doing. Thanks.

Great drafting tips - I will definitely be using these tips later this year for my first Regency video! On another note, can I just say that I was distracted by your earrings the entire time! Like in a good way! I love how they are different from one another but complementary in weight and tone 😍

So helpful! I just finished making a regency dress and needed the right undergarments. Thank you!

[@saritshull3909]

Thi was pretty much my plan but I really benefitted seeing your thinking as well. I have a the exact opposite problem to you. I have a very large bust:waist What I’ve seen others do to figure out gores is put the mock-up on and cut the lines and add and pin fabric as needed. And adjust how deep to cut as well.

[@tinegrnn5170]

Did you try that? and do you have blog/ video reccomendations? I have the same problem :/

[@alexandrawickham2513]

Ah! Thank you so much for sharing! I'm hoping I'll be able to give your pattern a try soon. 😁

Hi ! I hope you'll see this but i watched the video twice and i might have just missed it but what type of fabric do you recommend using for these ? I really want to try to make it with my very different measurements !

[@nimuek3107]

Brilliant.

[@mothersoul1]
