SUGGESTED SUPPLIES FOR
PAST PATTERNS 213: MID 19th C. STAYS

The chart below is a guideline based on the list of required supplies by Past Patterns. It is very possible you will want different items or lengths than those listed in the chart. The length of busk and bones may vary depending on any fitting changes you make, the accuracy of your cutting and sewing, the way the top and bottom of the corset is finished, and even the thickness of fabric. It is suggested that if you are fitting the corset to specific measurements you complete it up to the boning channel step and then measure it for the correct bone length and number of grommets. If you simply want to create a stock size corset, the below guidelines are a good way to start.
