    Ye know...thanks to Jack, these pink stays might be a bit too early for the GAoP... they are dated 1660-1670

    I have some cream silk brocade which I will be making a pair out of for Sarah. It will be interesting to see how all the different versions turn out.

    It is indeed boned and the V&A refers to it as a busk, which may mean the entire stomacher. as the center piece does look wider but not by much. The script does state that these stays were made for a very small person... perhaps a child ? perhaps in which case they were not ready to wear a full blown busk like older ladies? I have no idea at this present time
  11. Capt. Sterling
    Damn I will have to rescan and type the wording

    Regarding the Pink V&A stays the busk is in a separate piece... the stomacher which, in this case, is held in place under the lacing.. I have read some info on front and back laced stays (one garment) but in that case there is no solid busk unless it is in a separate stomacher like the Pink stays

    Waugh's Cut of Women's Clothing and her Corsets and Crinolines books are very helpful... Also Janet Arnold's Patterns of fashion that covers the 17th thru 19th century (or at least half way through the 19th) Unfortunately the best place to find some pictures of originals is by hunting on the web... or going through museum picture archives.

    Black ice is actually a thin sheet of clear ice which when over a road looks black because you can actually see the road through it... so the problem being you usually don't realize you are hitting an ice patch until its too late
