Hi Albertcat,
I just thoaght, that looking at Hogarts drawings, the stays lying on the
floor, if the shaping bones, had ben thin, they would not be able to stand a
lone, and keep the whole body shape, like a dress stand.
Even the body heats the vertical bones, they could not alone hold the shape,
as they are vertical. They would collapse.
Thats just my 2 cents, that the shaping bones inside must have ben rather
thick and stiff.

Good question.
Does not real whale bone get warmed by the body and after a while shape
itself thus? Could not all the boning in the stays take on and hold the
curved
shape?
