I decided that, for my new 1770's ensemble I required a new bum pad. This was a very quick project that I made by following the instructions from 'The American Duchess Guide to 18th Century Dressmaking'.

1770s Stays Part One
I realised today that this blog has been neglected for a while, so it's time to catch up and hopefully get a few posts written up this weekend!
I decided a while ago that I wanted to make some 18th century clothing for myself. As the 1770s is a very versatile period with lots of new fashions and changing styles I felt it would be the best place to start. I've covered a little of the history behind 1770s stays as well as how I made my first pair here
