Fox Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 In response to a debate about the practicality of stays for the working woman in English Civil War circles Mrs F. shot this video. It might be relevant to many here, so I'm reposting it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8wwhlnprmE&feature=youtu.be Foxe"With this Fore-Staff he fansies he does Wonders, when, God knows, it amounts to no more but only to solve that simple Question, Where are we?

jendobyns Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Oh dear. Someone is questioning that? How silly! Don't they know stays are great working women's back support? Like one of those lumbar support belts? Well your video puts any debate to rest. Great job! Edited April 30, 2013 by jendobyns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Sadly, yes it's true. Recently I got involved in a debate with a woman who was absolutely convinced that working women couldn't have worn stays because they are too restrictive. When we finally got to the point that she explained how, in her stays, she had got badly out of breath walking up a hill, the penny dropped. "Ah, you mean yours don't fit..."

jendobyns Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ahh, yes, the old argument founded in ignorance and bad tailoring. So is she getting better fitted stays now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
