18th Century Mullet Stays: Historical Corsetry Goes Glam Rock!

Stays—the conical older sister of the 19th century corset—are an essential part of any 18th century historical outfit. This video is all about making a historically-inspired set of stays, with a glam rock twist—a stomacher that adds size-flexibility to this support garment, and is also…a MULLET! That’s right, my friends. My stomacher is all business in the front, and a party in the back. This is the fifth video in my Glam Rock Goes Rococo series, where I am turning myself into a 1770’s David Bowie.

I did opt to use a machine to sew my boning channels and side seams, both for the sake of time and durability, but I use historically accurate techniques for the majority of the rest of the construction. I’m so happy with the way these stays turned out! They’re so comfortable and worth every second of time I spent hand-sewing down that biding!
