Making Rococo: Stays - Preparations

The first thing I need for my Rococo garment are new stays, because my old ones are far to wide now and not so well made.

This is my pattern:



And this is my outside fabric:



I have left over corset fabric from my last stays and some linen. This time the outside will get a nice fabric. I love the roses. It´s a reproduction fabric from the 18th century. I also have the boning, only thing I have to buy/make is the bias tape.
