I finished my stays tonight after about three days of work, and yes they are entirely hand sewn. They were very easy to put together and I really like the fit, they’re quite comfortable. Here are some pics on my dress form. They fit me much better, but you get the idea. God Bless!

Very nice honey! You are very talented!
Very lovely! I can't believe they're all hand sewn - WOW!
They look very neat!
They look great - and you're darn fast at handsewing, I must say, especially stays !
Fabulous and yes I AM totally jealous you knocked these ones over in a weekend. I may have to stop talking to you out of jealousy for at least a week...;p
Colour me impressed! They look beautiful and your hand sewing skillz are amazing!
Wow - they took you, like, five seconds?! You are far too speedy at hand-sewing! *envy* And they're very cute.
Do they give good support? I can't see much boning (unless it's hidden?), so was wondering...
Beautiful! I am so impressed you did it all by hand! Wow!!! They turned out really great! :) Have a wonderful weekend!
gentlewomanthief: They are lightly boned at each seam. They are pretty supportive, and comfortable.
Thanks everyone :-)
Oh my goodness!
I have had SO much to catch up at your blog. I tried to view pictures from your ball earlier this week but every time I visited your blog the computer wouldn't load the pictures!(we have an ancient, clunky, awkward thing). So now that its allowing me to leave a comment I will comment on all I have been able to see.
First, the ball photos are to die for!
Secondly, I really like the look of the later 1790's that you are going to be working on. It's a beautiful silhouette and one I do not see done very often. I can't wait to see what you do!
Thirdly, these stays are incredible! I also am among those who are jealous of your hand sewing skills. You are so, so talented. I cannot believe you made them so quickly!
Fourthly, how am I EVER going to make all the projects I plan to, because I'm so inspired when I see the ones you've done?!
Wow Lauren those turned out SO BEAUTIFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is this all for the Twelfth Night? YAY!
I like the straps, they seem wider set than the sensibility pattern (?), and the scallops are darling.
Those are fabulous! So inspirational! I would be tempted to pass on the tabs out of laziness though!
Wow! That was fast! They look just like the originals you posted. I actually had to do a double take because I thought at first they were more inspiration shots of originals! Great job!
