It's difficult to tell from the line drawing. Do you have access to a photo
of the original stays? I would hazzard to guess, that with the rounded tip
to the strap, that the artist was looking at a laced strap, just didn't draw
in the eyelet.
By the way, it looks fabulous! Where do you get

Greenberg and Hammer carry the commercial steamer. Also other
'Shop'supplies. If she goes online she will find more sources than she has
time to search. Perhaps starting with eBay?...

It works very well for the period. But it is very period specific and
would not be suitable for all 18th century stuff. You can of
Hi Bjarne,
I'm trying to remember if I've seen any extant 18thC stays, with
straps, that were not tied. Tying them seems to be the normal thing
to do. Has anyone seen originals with solid straps?
The pattern looks to me like it's two different pieces where the
strap meets the front, n

On ebay:

Includes items from Chicago, Dracula, Gangs of New York, Shakespeare in
Love, and more.
Unfortunately a lot of it ends tonight, but you should be able to search
completed auctions for items from this seller.
I bought my EuroPro, which has a separate steam
reservoir, at Tuesday Morning. I like it a lot!

Not in any extant corsets I've seen - certainly in museums they don't
usually even bother to lace them properly.

I think fully boned stays in such an elegant fabric deserve white kid
leather for a binding.

Susannah,
My Masters Thesis in Theatre Costume in Dec. 2000 was "The Emperor's New
Clothes," set in ancient China, for children's theatre. We made a fat suit of
foam sheeting for the actor who played the Emperor. It was actually built by
Kent Parker, who was the manager of the Costume Shop at
Suzi (who really needs to find a new job - I hate ironing, and I hate
machining!!)
ps - meant glad it's not just me that feels like that :-)))
