The Augusta Stays provide a foundation for late 18th century wardrobes, using a pattern based on extant stays with sophisticated boning to achieve the fashionable silhouette of the late 1770s-1780s. Choose between historically accurate construction with partial front lacing and full back lacing, or a simplified theatrical version with a solid front piece and metal grommets. Available in two bust-to-waist ratio options: 'Straight' with a 10" difference and 'Curvy' with a 12" difference.
