In the 18th century, even young ladies wore stays to ensure that they, too, had the proper shape under their gowns. 
 
This set of stays are made with a lovely pale-yellow/buttercream-colored linen and lined in a plain white linen. The stays are back-lacing and feature hand-sewn eyelets, hand-woven navy trim tape, and a soft cream-colored leather binding all the way around. The caning is a strong, but flexible plastic, which we find to be quite durable and comfortable and a great alternative to wooden caning or baleen.
 
This pair is ready-to-wear and ship.
