Dear Becky.
Stomachers could be attached on top of the stays with the small tabs in the
sides, or it could be directly pinned into the bodice sides of the dress.
Pins was used to do this.
Most ladies i know hate to pin with dressing pins, afraid it will heart
somebody or themselves.
However i dont think bad things could happend.
This is what they did back then.

How is the stomacher attached? It has tabs, but in the picture you linked
to I don't see how it attached. The description said it was removable like
a jewel. It covered the corset lacings. How was it held in place?

Okay perhaps I used the wrong label at least the online dictionarys seem
to
say so. It is usually defined as an ornamental, detachable front of a
woman's bodice similar to a stomacher?
This is a stomacher to give a rough idea.

What's a "plastron"? I looked up and the range was all over the place. I
found one necklace of the Romanovs that was gorgeous but I don't know if
that is what the term applies to or not.
