The 1930s dress pattern I've just bought has bishop sleeves so I could add them to a basic blouse block and create something similar.

Jill Sallen's book has mostly Victorian corsets inside, but does have a few (3 I think) stays patterns. The patterns do have to be scaled up and also still have to be sized as well as the pattern is only for the exact set of extant stays. I know a lot of people have success with the JP Ryan stays pattern, and that one does come in different sizes. The stays I have currently can be seen in this http://theclosethistorian.blogspot.com/2014/08/fixing-my-stays-finally-costuming.html post and are still working really well for me. I may make another pair in the spring from the same exact pattern only in a more fun color. If I do I will definitely do in depth posts along the way.

Sadly I used a pattern I made so I can't recommend one, I used a basic blouse block front and back with waist darts and a back button closure and then added bishop sleeves. I'm sorry I can't be of more help on the pattern front!Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-24972306959497049412015-11-10T15:51:34.333-07:002015-11-10T15:51:34.333-07:00Such a warm, elegantly lovely look that is elevate...Such a warm, elegantly lovely look that is elevated all the more by those stunning red shoes.

I'm quite envious of all your lovely Autumn outfits, wishing I could rob your fabric stash and closet. ;) <br /><br />By the way, I've finished my Elizabethan-18th Century stays, but they look quite awful in my photographs. In the end I decided to persevere with the original ones I made, but for Christmas I'm thinking of buying a Corsets book by Jill Sallen to make a second, better pair. Are you going to make any more stays in the future?<br />EllieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12784166343621285873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-56257258550641570012015-11-10T06:21:30.941-07:002015-11-10T06:21:30.941-07:00I love this blouse, the fabric is to die for!
