18th century inspired costume featuring back lacing stays. They are sewn mostly by machine, but the tabs are binded by hand and eyelets are also sewn by hand.
Also i feel like a character in Marie Antoinette movie from 2006 while wearing them hihi

Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking.
Ayyyy I made another thing.
Little cottagecore bodice. This fabric has been one of the more popular styles on my Etsy. Thank goodness I get to work with lovely floral prints often, or else I think I’d completely lose my marbles.
My goal for April was to make like four things for my shop and then take most of May off so I can become a goblin and do nothing but play Tears of the Kingdom. But alas, I am ~chronically ill~ so work was much slower than I was hoping. I’m not the type to work through pain, so I’m taking my time on my next proper stays and my new goal is just to get them done and listed before May 12th.

When I made these 18th century inspired Caroline stays in mustard yellow I had Belle (Beauty nd the Beast) in mind... Not an Autumn Fae!
But here we are, serving magical creatures for our joy in October.

As some of you may know, sewing is a big hobby of mine but after my last 2 relationships I felt really self conscious about wearing the clothes I made after nn ex insisted the dresses make me look pregnant and that he is embarrassed being seen with me dressed so oddly (most of my clothes are history bound). Add weight gain into the mix and I couldn't put it on and I was so sad about it. I had so many pretty clothes sitting in the box and more fabrics to turn into clothes and now it was there, unused.
Then my friend gave me a wonderful advice I would like to share with you: "These things take so much time to make. You don't feel comfortable wearing it now but one day, someone who loves you the way you are will come in and you will want ti put it on again and go on dates with them. Then you won't have time to make it and you will be so glad you have it. So make it now, take it as a preparation and research for future projects."
And so now I am sewing and designing again and I am enjoying the process. I made some really beautiful stuff since then, including a copy of Edith's dressing gown from the Crimson Peak.
Some days I feel like a maiden preparing her wardrobe for when she gets married and it makes me laugh so hard.
Some days my students ask me something and I bring them 18th century stays or a 1890s corset and they get to feel it and see how it worked and they are so fascinated to see that history was different to what they are taught. My girl students marvel at Victorian pockets and are amazed at how wonderfully adjustable 18th century clothes is. And that makes me happy as well, that even if I do not wear it, I can show it to kids and help them shape better image of how people might have lived in the past.
So if you like me, struggle with body image issues and dont feel confident enough to wear your clothes now, it is OK. You are still learning so sewing it is worth it. And one day, when you are ready, you will be so glad to have done the work that you can enjoy now.

Finally! I have made a pair of stays that are wearable! 
I used McCalls pattern b4669 and I’m so happy with how this turned out!

I think I want to post more of my (historical) costuming on this platform, to have a bit more original content of my own and keep track of my process.
So here is the next big thing I'm working on: a complete 1780's outfit to go to an 18th century soirée in October.
First step: make new stays (I only have one pair and it's not up to my standards anymore, so I need to make a new pair). This is the first mock up I made from a pattern drafted according tot Patterns of Fashion 5 and a tremendously helpful YouTube tutorial by Michelle Fitzgerald: Arc-drafted 18th century stays patterning class - YouTube (it's a very long video, but if you just follow along while drafting to your own measurements, it's great!)
It fits surprisingly well. Seriously. It only needs a couple of pretty minor adjustments. The best part: no lower back pain. This must be the first time in my stays and corsetry making journey, that I managed to omit this annoying fit issue.
So next, I'll make some adjustments, and on to mock up no. 2 (and hopefully the final mock up)

I always thought that “woman pulls something out of her cleavage” was really just sort of a cliche historically
But nope
I’m reading this incredibly niche book about the history of pockets, and there is a picture of a pair of stays from the 18th century that someone sewed a giant pocket inside of
It was apparently a big thing for women who wanted to keep their money safe or to steal it off of other people and hide it quickly
INCREDIBLE

I think I perfected my corset top design?
I've changed the center front of this corset top about...4 times, now, I think?
I feel like I'm finally happy with it, but I am starting to wonder if I should bring down the bottom of the center front like my previous designs. What do y'all think? I also changed a couple of the seams at the front so I can make a faux stomacher like this:
(P.S. I also made the little lace choker in this picture, but that's a little treat for me to keep!)
If you like either of these pieces, they're for sale on my Etsy shop! Thank you so much for checking them out :)
And now, for some bloopers I thought you all would enjoy!
(Realizing I still had many more pictures to take, and one more outfit to put on without getting lipstick on my dress)
But then my Babby Girl, Loki, joined me! She wasn't feeling very photogenic today, but we tried!

Today I finally managed fixing 18th century stays I made over a year ago from this beautiful fabric I have inherited that I cut the wrong way. I was so sad when I realised it looked strange on me, poking out everytime I sat down. I learnt only then that stays need to be longer, especially if your belly isn't flat and the stays I made after were fine, but what about these? I cannot rebuy the fabric and do it again, have I really messed up this beautiful project?
And the answer? No, I haven't. It took me so long but I figured what would suit it best. Not done, but I can already see it will work and I am so happy.
