1780s Front Lacing Stays — Synthetic Whalebone – Redthreaded
4.9 (322) In stock
Our 1780s front lacing stays feature a lower bust line, more extreme diagonal style lines, and are overall about 3/4"–1" shorter than our earlier 18th century closed front stays. This creates a conical torso with a defined waist, a lower prow-front bosom, and drawn-back shoulders — hallmarks of the fashionable silhouet
Our 1780s front lacing stays feature a lower bust line, more extreme diagonal style lines, and are overall about 3/4–1 shorter than our earlier 18th century closed front stays. This creates a conical torso with a defined waist, a lower prow-front bosom, and drawn-back shoulders — hallmarks of the fashionable silhouette of the late 1700s. The front lacing also simplifies dressing, and the closed back ensures a lovely smooth line beneath the Anglaise and Italian gowns that were so popular during this period.
These stays are pictured with an optional stomacher. A stomacher also allows people with larger chests to lace a bit looser across the bust. Add one to your order for additional front support and sizing flexibility.

Our stays and corsets are based closely on historical pattern shapes and extant examples, but utilize theatrical construction techniques and modern materials to bring you an accurate silhouette in a sturdy, comfortable garment.
