Re: [h-cost] Stomacher --a photo demo
Hi, I should not have answered as i did, obviously they did it in a different way than in my period. How long time did they have this lacing in the side bodice? Anybody knows?

The visual helps alot, I know I had a hard time wrapping my brain around how the gowns went on, as I kept thinking they laced up the back. This photo group made it all clear to me. melody --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was recently made aware of the stomacher from some previous posts.

Can anyone explain the workings of these, or possibly have a good picture of how they're attached and how they cover the laces?

You know what lightbulb went on for me? She even says so in the essay -- that's *why* gowns were side-back laced -- not because the bodice fit better, but so that you could have an unbroken neckline!
