Making FABULOUS Witchy 18th Century Stays for Spooky Season!

What's better than a pair of witchy 18th century stays? Two pairs in one! In this video, I will walk you through the process of making the MOST fabulous pair of 18th century Cassandra stays--and they're reversible! Making a pair of 18th century stays reversible is not without its challenges--particularly on the "lining" side, there are a lot of elements to consider when laying in the lining in order to get the fabric to lay nicely on the body. And of course, adding stripes makes it even more difficult! But even if these stays aren't ~perfectly~ pattern matched, they still turned out incredible--and they're extremely breathable, AND comfortable! And because they're reversible stays, they will get twice the use--which makes them twice as good! The purple side of the stays are hand-dyed and will make all my witchy 18th century dreams come true. The striped side of the stays serves a greater purpose: as part of my big Halloween costume, Beatlejuice! Let's bring Spooky Season in with Style!
