This might be a dumb idea. Let's find out.
Historybounding is essentially the practice of combining old and new. This video covers my experiment creating athletic wear by adapting an 18th century stay (corset) pattern, using only historical, non-stretch materials.

A few more details post-wearing: They are machine washable, but I forgot to prewash my linen, so they warped a little. Not too badly though. I wash them cool and line-dry them. They've been through several times and so far the boning is fine. They would have been more practical if I'd added a front closure, like a zipper. I like the look of the bust-rail, but I'm not sure how necessary it is. I may try a version without it so I can see the difference. And I feel like it didn't need the linen canvas interlining. It would have been even lighter-weight and more comfortable without it. I did almost immediately take out the drawstring in the bust panel and replace it with elastic. Regarding support, I'd say they're almost, but not quite as supportive as my modern sports bra. Two routes might work to remedy this: either going back to my original plan of adding regency gussets, or adding crescent-moon shaped pads under the bust.
