Summary
[edit]Regency underclothes, from an 1824 reprint of the 1811 "Book of English Trades", showing one form of Regency "stays" (front-lacing short stays, incapable of constricting the natural waist, as Victorian corsets later did). According to the original caption, this "represents the Dress-Maker taking the pattern off from a lady, by means of a piece of paper or cloth; the pattern, if taken in cloth, becomes afterwards the lining of the dress". (The styles shown are more appropriate to the year 1811 than to 1824.)
A cropped and mirror-image reversed version of this same illustration is reprinted in "Fabric of Society: A Century of People and their Clothes 1770-1870" by Jane Tozer and Sarah Levitt.
