Hello! I invite you to follow along as I draft a pattern for 1760s stays using the arc method outlined in “Pattern of Fashion 5”!
The stays I want to make are the 1760s example shown on pages 100-103 of "Patterns of Fashion 5: The content, cut, construction and context of bodies, stays, hoops and rumps c.1595-1795" by Janet Arnold, Jenny Tiramani, Luca Costigliolo, Sebastien Passot, Armelle Lucas and Johannes Pietsch (The School of Historical Dress, London, 2018)
This book is only available for purchase directly from The School of Historical Dress on its website:

The arc drafting methodology has been developed by Luca Costiglioli based on his extensive study of period documents. ‘Patterns of Fashion 5’ contains important key excerpts from the writings and drawings of Diderot, Garsault, Reisser and Bernhardt (of whom the latter three were staymakers) and sheds new light on how stays were built and worn in the period.
