Difficulty: Expert    The Cassandra Stays are based on numerous extant 1760-80 era stays and create the elegantly elongated torso with high back and rounded bust fashionable in these decades. Choose between detailed instructions on how to make the stays with period accurate materials and construction methods (View A), or equally detailed instructions to make the stays with methods taken from modern theater and film costume construction (View B). Mix and match the two methods to get a historical look with less hand-sewing. View A, the historically accurate pattern, features a solid front with angled boning meeting at the front seam, back lacing, three layers of construction fabric with an additional buckram bellypiece for more reinforcement, and an optional loose lining. There are instructions for binding with leather, linen tape, or straight-cut fabric, and for optional taped seam finishes View B, the modern 'Theatrical' version, features front and back lacing with an optional separate front stomacher, two layers of construction fabric and an optional decorative layer, metal lacing grommets, and bias binding. Both versions are spiral laced, use synthetic whalebone (German plastic boning), feature an optional curved bust rail of shaped cane and can be made with or without straps.  In order to make fitting as easy as possible, the Cassandra Stays come with two bust-to-waist ratio size sets. The ‘Straight’ size set has a 10''/25cm difference between un-corseted bust and corseted waist, and is best for those with less natural bust-to-waist difference, or those desiring less waist compression. The ‘Curvy’ size set has a 12''/30cm difference between un-corseted bust and corseted waist, and is best for those with more natural bust-to-waist difference, or those desiring more waist compression. The Cassandra's work perfectly with the Angelica and Aidah Gowns, and the Amalia Jacket.  Support your skirts with the Frances Rump. Many thanks to Cecilia, Jessica and Klára for all
