Pattern Pack A: Size XS–XXL (includes short and long stays)
Pattern Pack B: Size 18–26 Plus (includes long stays)

Our Regency stays patterns are appropriate for 1800-1830. They create a Jane Austen era silhouette with lifted bust. The long stays with front busk smooth the torso and provide more postural support. The short stays (included in pack A only) are great for petite wearers and beginner corset sewists. Both designs feature drawstring at bust and alterable straps.

Short stays are not included in pattern pack B (plus sizing), as we have found that style often does not provide adequate, comfortable support in this size range.

Pattern features:

  • Bust gussets and hip gores (on long stays)
  • Back lacing
  • Adjustable straps

Includes multi-sized printed pattern, sewing instructions, fitting & mockup guides, and list of supply resources. You can also get all the specialty supplies for our corset and stays patterns in our corresponding kits. See materials list below.

This pattern is recommended for those with intermediate to advanced sewing skills.

How to Pick Your Size

Our stay and corset patterns are based closely on historical shapes and extant examples, but utilize modern construction techniques and materials to bring you an accurate silhouette in a sturdy, comfortable garment.

Please see our Policies page for important information regarding payments, shipping, returns, and VAT/customs.
