Introducing our exquisite Tudor Stays, meticulously crafted for both durability and historical accuracy. Made from sturdy solid cotton fabric, these stays are designed to withstand regular use, making them the perfect foundation piece for your Tudor-era costuming. Whether you're preparing for a historical reenactment, a Tudor-themed event, or a lavish costume party, these stays can also double as a beautiful bodice for your ensemble.


Design:
Inspired by the Tudor fashion of the era, these stays provide a historical conical silhouette. They lace up both the front and back, allowing you to achieve an authentic and period-accurate look. Note on fit - Tudor stays end at the natural waist with a dip below in the front. They are not meant for tight lacing.

Sizing
• This corset is designed to have up to a 2” lacing gap in the front and back
• Center front length - 14"
• Center back length - 11"

Measure your relaxed waist and subtract 2-4 inches (2 inches if you are new to corsets/stays, 4 inches if you are familiar with them or are "squishy" and compress at the waist easily). Select the waist measurement closest to your result. If you have any questions about fit, please reach out.


Construction
• Boned with a combination of spring steel boning and artificial reed
• Double layers of 100% organic cotton canvas for strength
• Internal boning channels for smooth finish
• Two part grommets for sturdy lacing
