Hi Suzi,
Yes, they also steamed the bones in 18th century, acording to Janet Arnold.
I can bend my wissner boning, so that it gets a curved shape, and it
works nicely i think.
Anyway, i replaced the thick 2 mm. bones inside with thinner bones
1mm. Its the more so
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.

Hi Suzi,
Is this your examin of old stays, that you say they are thin?
When you look at Hogarts prints, and you sometimes see a pair of
stays lying alone on the floor, they are shaped like the body, and i
would say, its the horzontal bones that keep them in shape
boning?

Beautiful!
It doesn't look too bad or that it would be uncomfortable to me. Especially
with a lining and the bunched up chemise between the bones and the body. But
it also can't hurt to put some light padding...maybe just some feltover
those bones.
