Conical stays with tabs were historically used throughout the 1600′s and 1700′s. The simplest designs are created with the price-conscious reenactor in mind. Fancier designs and subtle variations in silhouette are possible when using complex panel piecing and decorative elements.

This is a bespoke conical corset for Renaissance reenactment.  It has beige dupioni silk cover material, is fully boned, and has a pocket for a wooden busk.

These stays are currently on my sewing machine.  The pattern has five panels to distribute the significant amount of bias needed to fit the customer properly.  It is made with two layers of hemp/linen canvas, ready for full boning, and the bottom edge is bound.  I ran short of boning, so I’ll finish this project after more boning arrives at the end of the week.  At that point I will insert the remaining boning, secure it, bind the top edge, and grommet it.  The shoulder straps are removable.
