Corset for the Lazy? The simplest Regency stays to draft, fit, and WEAR

I was in desperate need of a Regency-era corset that was easier to wear than my traditional long-line style of stays that spiral laced in the back. Luckily I found a wealth of knowledge on the Corset a la Paresseuse (aka Corset for the Lazy Person), a wrap-around style that required NO LACING, minimal seamlines and boning, and could be put on and off in a snap! Watch me scale a pattern based on an original garment to my own size, fit and assemble the corset in only a few hours. (oh, and I also just found out that Retro Claude made her own version of this corset, too! check it out at [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUSteEvqpqE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUSteEvqpqE)) *** REFERENCES *** Blog post with original pattern in centimeters: https://kleidungum1800.blogspot.com/2014/05/short-stays-studies-schnurleib-studien.html Extant corset: https://www.centraalmuseum.nl/nl/collectie/20472-corset NOTE: If you want to try this style but want to save some time drafting and resizing, I recommend using the front pieces of the Redthreaded 1790s stays and drawing your own back piece that resembles the museum corset: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Redthreaded?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=535555759&section_id=29937511 My previous corset sewing videos playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJaibfB0Fck&list=PLJvVOokVyYh0fhNhmCAijdjjO-gLfOSs6 Some additional research: http://corsetradesigns.blogspot.com/2012/02/corset-en-x-1810.html https://stars-design-eva.blogspot.com/2014/
