Description-

Our 18th c. stays, customized to your colors and fabric choices. Select from our in-stock fabrics or shop custom colors for no extra charge. We can also construct using your own fabrics (email us for details).

To achieve this look, we do a process called “flatlining”. This uses a beautiful fabric on the outside and combines it with an inner layer of our sturdy cotton coutil inside. With this two layer process we are able to achieve a gorgeous looking corset with the strength and structure of a heavy duty corset inside.

The Louisa creates a shapely, triangular form, using 1/4" steel and spiral bones, and two layers of coutil with an outer layer of your choice of colored silk. The stays are cut to enhance and lift the bust, and shape the waist. The waist tabs, cut in one with the stays, curve over the hips. The shoulder straps are optional, as this style was often seen without straps.
