Outlander Project: Mock-Up for 18th Century Stays

Hello I’m Sophie. Welcome to the beginning of my sewing journey, come along with me through all the mistakes and seam ripping! And hopefully feel some solidarity that there are others bumbling their way through this hobby.

This is the first video of a series creating a full 18th century outfit, which I will admit is definitely Outlander inspired. This will be using American Duchess Simplicity Pattern 8162 to create 18th Century stays. In this video specifically I'm creating a mock-up to test my altered pattern. This video isn't really what I would call a "How To" because I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time, maybe more of a moral support video to those like me. The adjustments I made to this pattern just included lengthening the pattern by 1.5 inches in the waist.

I was inspired by many channels here which focus on Historical Costuming to finally try to do it on my own, even though I have almost no experience sewing. These are some of the wonderful ladies I was inspired by:
