Regency Stays - Sense and Sensibility pattern

I used Bull Denim for the outer layer and Artist Canvas for the inner layer. As the fabrics have a tight weave and are very strong, I only used two layers for my stays.

I extended the width of the outer fabric by 6/8 inch at the centre front so I could create a boning channel on the inside.  This photo is of the inside layer and shows the boning channel.

I prefer single lacing rather than cross lacing.
