18th Century Underpinnings




I started my adventure in sewing historic fashions almost a year ago. I sewed a shift and under petticoat early on and then got stuck on the stays, an essential garment for getting the proper silhouette. I finally let myself sew the boning channels of my first set of stays by machine and now I finally have my underpinnings done. Under the cut you'll find details about my process for making each of the different layers for my 18th century undergarments.
