Regency Stays

The new stays......





This time I used plastic cable ties for the boning.
It worked very well!  I just put two in each channel.
No more ordering metal boning from Canada!  These turned out really well and fit me so much better than the old ones.  I had to make them two sizes smaller, but finally I have a perfect fit.  It also makes all my dresses fit better.  I finished the spencer, and will post about it soon!
