This is a 5-panel (plus cups and shoulder straps) late eighteenth century Regency stays PDF pattern in small sizes UK6-26 (US2-22) - this relates to an under-bust of 27''-39''. Approx. cup range A-E. This mid-diaphragm design is from the early part of the Regency period (approximately 1790/5) and is loosely based on a V&A exhibit - they are known as ‘transitional’ stays as they bridge the gap between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when there was a notable shift in fashion aesthetic (stays became shorter when the Empire line became fashionable). Seam allowances are included on this pattern. Bust sizes are not stated as the cups are gathered to size. Note that very large bust sizes may not get sufficient support from this design. The key measurement to take when referring to the size chart is your under-bust - ensure a horizontal tape is snug at the point where your bra band comfortably sits. The corset length measures 19cm at the centre front and 22cm at the back.
This pattern also features in my pattern collection '200 years of corset design reimagined' - a cost-effective way of procuring lots of different inspiring designs from 1715-1915.
Note – no lacing gap is factored into this pattern. If you would prefer your corset to have a lacing gap at the back, make one size smaller - each size has a difference of 1.2''. This slight difference will not affect the strap position markedly.
