Under those pretty Regency dresses are stays: but what were they, what did they really look like, who sold them, and how much did they cost? Elizabeth finds Mrs Lloyd Gibbons visiting Bath for the purpose of fitting Ladies with her patented Anatomical Stays—and that’s just the beginning!
The stays featured in this video were made by historical dressmaker Bronwyn Parry, who also writes wonderful Regency romances. You can find The Clothier’s Daughter here: https://www.amazon.com/Clothiers-Daug…
ps Sorry, I got the images of the front and back of the stays in the wrong order – I do know the difference, promise! It was an editing mistake.
The book Elizabeth mentions in the video is Second Chance at Christmas, you which can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Second-Chance-…
