1750s Stays — Synthetic Whalebone

Throughout much of the 18th century, a conical torso with a defined waist and rounded bosom was seen as the ideal shape. Our 1750s closed front stays recreate this fashionable silhouette and are the perfect base for your historical costume, Marie Antoinette cosplay, American Revolutionary War persona, or other Georgian-period impression.  These stays feature cut-in-one tabs (skirts) to comfortably elongate and define the waist. The diagonal seam lines and boning smooth and support the torso, while the angled straps draw the shoulders back to create an elegant, upright posture.
