Testing my patterning theories with a new pair of stays. These ones are getting very close to Victorian, but I think we can still call them stays. Featuring an extremely gratuitous amount of chicken footage.

You have fueled my 18th century obsession... every time I think “no I won’t try to make my own stays during my exam season”.... a new video
“It’s such a wonderful feeling when you catch up with everything on your to-do list, and all you have to do is start a new project.” 😶😂🤣😂🤣 Yeah - NO idea what that’s like, but it’s nice to imagine! So happy for you tho!

I'd be happy to see the bottom of the list, I can only dream of finishing it🙃
Measuring how long a CosTuber's project takes by how fast chickens grow is my favourite way of measuring time. Amazing stays! You are tempting me into the 18th Century, damn you!
I have no idea why but your outfit at the end gives me Esmeralda vibes

My cat was on my lap for the duration and greatly appreciated all of the chicken footage. These stays have me wanting to try my hand at drafting, they look sleek and supremely comfy!
The chicks first day outside and your dad? were so precious 😭
Could you do a look book with the new stays? Like modern and vintage skirts, dress, tops, etc. Also... love the chickens😆🤩
One note: “selvedge” is not the same as “seam allowance”. The selvedge is the edge of the woven fabric, and often cut off because it is woven differently than the rest of the fabric.
Looks great. You are really getting that arch method down. Your understanding and manipulation of is has come a long way. Those garments are fitting better each time. What patients you have to teach yourself this technique of stay making. Bravo
Chickens and corsets is a combo I didn’t know I needed but I love it
The commentary by your dad is hilarious 😂
Came for the sewing content but now I'm just obsessed with the chickens! The stays turned out beautiful 😊
My thoughts regarding chicken names: I love Wan Shi Tong, I vote you keep that name! After your mention of Hobbit-y names, I think Frodo for the Rhode Island Red; the color just reminds me of him. In the spirit (heh, accidental pun) of Avatar references, the Sapphire Gem/s could be Sapphire Fire, and maybe Wang Fire, if the second one gets to stay! If you like Star Wars, I think Amidala would be a great name for the Cinnamon Queen. Whatever you end up naming them, I hope we get to hear about it! Seeing your chickens made me smile today. We've had chickens for most of my life, and I can't help but have a soft spot for 'em, especially the babies.

Wang Fire made me lol 😂
Came for the historical sewing, STAYed for the shoulder chicken.
Mariah: Thinks chirping is distracting so puts chirper on shoulder Me: Sees and hears nothing else 🐥🐥😍🐥😍
Me realizing my corset project would be so much cheaper if I just use a zipper instead of a spoon busk: *mind blown*
Mariah, 6 months from now: well, I have to create a new channel for my chicken content... 😉
"I don't feel like mowing today, so here we go" is such a mood :) Maybe Sybil for one of the reddish chicks? Pebble might be cute for one of the grey ones, but would depend on personality. Also, I've always thought the name Eliza suited a chicken, but I haven't actually used that one myself yet :)
With the plastic boning, you can get a curve on them by using your iron at a lowish temp, (with a barrier of baking parchment between the plastic and the iron, of course) to heat the plastic while slowly curving the flat into the desired curve. This occurred to me because of using the heating technique on plastics for other plastic form manipulations ( toys, figurines, putting an angle on old tooth brushes to use as tools, etc). If you are worried about handling the plastic while it may be hot, wear an oven mitt. ;)
This video made me realize why my 18th century pattern mock-up had so many problems. I have a long torso, but it wasn't until i saw this that I realized the space between my ribs and hip bone is actually quite small. I'm definitely using the arch method and this video for reference if I try again.

I'm built the same! Nothing off the rack fits right because of that 😂
1: I’m obsessed with your patterning methods. 2: YOURE AN ATLA FAN?!?!? Ok the sapphires obviously have to be sapphire fire and wang fire. Highly support wan shi tong at the very least.

Dude she has a video series making a Katara doll...it's very cool
Been waiting for this - and it was amazing!!! The chicks were the cherry on top. About the names, I've wanted to name my pet Lady Macbeth. It's a bit sinister, but who doesn't love an evil queen?!
Silver laced Wyandotte needs to be named Wynette. Next time you get chickens, add some Oprpingtons to the group, they are great birds…. They love lap sitting for head scritches. Great stays! I’ll be making some for myself. Thanks!
Chickens are fun pets. Love introducing them to grass for the first time. They treat train faster then dogs! We easily taught ours to come to "chick chick!" with the reward of canned corn.
Baby chickens and zipper stays, this is the video I needed today! Thank you so much!
**me seeing this after buying an unnecessary amount of boning** God bless you, I love the way you sew and experiment. I didn't need this tempting video but I'm gonna watch it like I'll make it. 👀👀Though... I do need more tops and support garments that go better with all the historically inspired skirts I won't stop making myself. 👀👀👀
Honestly, that bright sun yellow mockup with the black zipper looks so beautiful. It's something old in principle, yet it is so modern 😍 !

Wow, those turned out really nice! I've never made or worn 18th century stays, but those make me want to give them a try. Especially since you so generously shared the details about pattern drafting. That aspect has always completely stumped me, unlike with 19th century corsets, which I managed to successfully tackle even 'way back when', before there were internet communities for such things. But stays were always a complete mystery to me.
I love that you're showing the process of prefecting your stays, it's fun to see the improvements over all the iterations.
“Good shoulder chicken,” 😆 😍
I'm always so excited when you post a new video! I can't wait to try the arc method and I'm thankful you showed the actual space between your hips and ribs. I'm about as short waisted as you are and seeing your beautiful results gives me hope I too will be able to achieve such a beautiful curvy shape if I persevere! Thank you!
Your dad is the most dad that has ever dad'd.
I love the silhouette it creates so much
You talk to your birds the way I talk to my Rats lol even putting them on your shoulder

I was thinking the same thing after many years of shoulder rats
I love hearing the chicks in the background so don’t worry about that extra noise!
wow! stunning result
So excited to see tab-less stays!
The shape of these looks SO nice! I already loved your other stays but it's interesting how small changes can have such a big effect - the neckline looks so much better on this one, and I hadn't even realized it could! This is a great follow up project, improving things you learned from your previous piece. Thanks for bringing us along!
You are so inspiering, I'm going to start my first pair of stays soon and you are the number one influence that has led me to it. You have added something meaningful to the world by sharing all of these adventures with us :)
I learned so much and loved, loved the baby chicks!
I love how the stays turned out, super flattering!! Definitely stays-goals!!
I can so relate to your comment to your chicks about needing to put the lid on the box. We’ve had several batches of chicks that grew up to be chickens and live outside now. They’re so cute and fluffy as babies.
I did an experiment for keeping the wind from picking up your skirts. The trick is small glass or semi-precious Stone beads and sew them in intervals along the bottom hem. Small like half a piece of barley small.
Your finished ‘outfit’ is gorgeous! I love the skirt, too.
This was such a cool concept and it turned out so well! Your work is so inspiring. Also I'm in love with the chickens now
They look SO GOOD! it’s cool to watch your improvement on each pair of stays you make. I can’t wait to see the full 18th century capsule wardrobe and all the options you come up with. The chicks are cute too, lovely wing patterns 💕 I’m working on a pair of regency short stays... first pair of stays so far so good!
I've stated to make my first pair of stays! Your patterning video has been invaluable as your method just intuitively makes sense. I have finished the pattern and I am waiting for boning to arrive in the mail so I can start making my first mockup. I also like the idea of tab-less stays as to me it merges the best parts of corsets and stays into one garment; so it's definitely a future project goal. Thanks for sharing!!!
So satisfying to watch with all the smoothines in the patternresult! The linen has a fine colour. And the Shillouette!!! Love it! #sewinggoals
It looks fantastic and the chickens are darling!
Fit looks good, very flattering shape. Thanks for sharing. Chicks are so cute.
Nice! Once again my desire to make one for myself increases - perhaps a summer project
Oh man, I really love your stay designs. I got myself PoF5 and I have some thick twill for mockups, but I've yet to start on a similar journey.
So glad you went this direction with thd stays. The tabs are the main drawback for me and I wasn't sure what changes had to happen to eliminate them. Looking forward to your update once you've worn them a while.
Mariah, how did you get into my brain???? 🤣 You're doing projects I've dreamed of since I was a girl. Love to see it!!! ❤️
Your end look had some definite Esmerelda/Traveler/Romani vibes going! Very beautiful & colorful, so fun for summer! Get yourself a tambourine & jam out!
The shape looks so good! And I've also been wanting to do tabless stays to get a smoother line - eerie timing. (Or, you know, a modernizing 18th c problem. One of those things.)
I love that you're addressing the issues to figure out with curved seams/boning channels (bones not laying flat and clipping) because it's one thing I've been wondering about while starting to pattern my own future pair of stays and not seen addressed in a lot of places (then again I still have time to research that more in depth).
I love the shepherdess/European Folk vibes of that outfit at the end--I know you're making these for historybounding underwear but they make such a good cottagecore statement piece as well!
I now have to give this drafting method a try in Victorian/Edwardian corsetry!!
I named our Silver laced Wyndot Checkers because once fully grown she looked like a checkerboard soo pretty. But great video :) thank you for the good content.
This has become one of my comfort videos (: The vibes are just immaculate
🤣 I’m jealous of the chicken rainbow. They are all so pretty
I have made two pairs of stays so far and you are tempting me to make a third that is even better ;) I also have to say, I LOVE the chicks!!!!!!
I am always blown away by your creativity with pattern experimentation! I had been wondering what stays like these (18th century but without tabs) would look like in real life because in the webcomic I'm creating, it is set in a fantasy world where they have something similar to this but with front lacing, optional straps, and more coverage over the hips like a Victorian corset. As someone who hasn't sewn much, I wasn't sure if it would work in real life, but clearly you've made something similar to what I had in mind and it's functional!
I don't have specific name recommendations but I love either very long silly names, or for chickens specifically old timey names that aren't really used anymore
Holy crap. The final results are fantastic.
I always learn from your videos, and I loved the bonus chicky footage! My kitty girl wasn't too interested in the sewing project parts tho... just the chickens. No, she wouldn't hurt them irl, she'd run away and hide. "They're bigger than my head! Why are they bigger?? ..... maybe they're friends... brother will like that." Seriously, her brother would love little buddies!
Just found you via KZread suggestion. Subscribed because you are relatable, you teach well, and you didn’t ignore your baby chickies for the video. AND you showed some chick entertainment (ba-dum-bum). Can’t wait to get the the videos I’ve not seen!
Awww a fellow reptile lover! Your baby dinosaurs are the cutest!
I’d love to see a tutorial for an everyday late-nineteenth century corset with a zipper. Love your videos!
This was far more informative than most videos. I have been wondering if the tabs are really that important. Thank you. I love the little chickies.
We used reed in my linen stays. Really molds to my body. Light weight.
As always, very helpful. 👍 Also very pretty.
Is it me or all dads the same when handed a camera and told to film something?
I LOVE the chicken sidekick 😂
Love your videos, and of course the chicks are adorable 🥰
Love your videos. Very informative and fun. 😁
Your zipper stays are just such a great idea. I would love to try something like that with a victorian corset pattern but would have to thing about how to replace the rigidity a metal busk gives. Also for the chicken you should name the black one with all the white feathers mixed in Oreo 💕

Maybe you could do a side zipper
This video is making me want to sew stays and I don’t even wear dresses AND i haven't made a whole garment myself since middle school. Hubris perhaps. Truly an inspiring piece
Do you have ANY idea how much self control it took to not yell “ BABIES” every time I saw the chicks? I adore them
Yay!!! Been waiting to see this video!!!
This was very helpful and interesting but the chicks stole the show for me :D Love those little chirps
Seeing the process from start to finish is so satisfiying! And the end result is super flattering on you! Silver Laced Wyandotte: I don't know why, but it looks like an Oreo to me? Rhode Island Red: Ember Phoenix? Sapphire Jem: something precious stone related Sapphire Jem (potential rooster): Bringer of Chaos!
Absolutely georgeous. I want to make these for daily wear but i am busty and hate the presure on my shoulder.
Absolutely beautiful. I love it.
My mom had a Rhode Island Red that thought she was a rooster. We just called her "Red" because she was so vibrant. We had 4 lovely ladies, but 2 of them had been attacked by other critters. They ended up in a coop that was built like a fortress, but we had to give them to our cousin when it cost too much to keep them safe. We named the other three, but Red had the most personality and her name stuck with me. She defended and bullied the other three, and I was sad to see her go. One of yours looks like an eagle or hawk, so why not name her after "Lady Hawk". Its a movie that I watched waaaay to much as a young teen, but it was amazing. I might have memorized the lines... Can't remember them now though.
Loved the last outfit, mayor matriarch/fortune teller of a super caring circus who you don't want to cross, cause she'll cut you... Perfection.
These stays look fabulous. I think they look better without the bust rail. It looks more natural, which would work better for every day.
i would love chicken updates in future videos
Your stays are lovely,I like the way you have zipped them, 💖
What a perfect mix of corset and stays. A corstay, perhaps? As for the chickens, once they are fully grown, I always tend to think of them as old ladies- biddies, even. And so I like old lady names. Like Iris, Wynnie, Glenda, Gladys, Agatha, Morag (which always seems like an old lady name to me), Rhoda (which is a very predictable name for a Rhode Island Red, so I’d actually use the name for a different type of chicken, because I’m contrary that way).
Awesome. I would love to hear how these stays are working for you after some testing time. Also, next time could you stand in front of a wall with more contrast? It was kind of hard to see the final silhouette at the end because the wall and the stays blend together. Thank you! I actually want to try to make these. Usually I watch costube and think "that's amazing, but I could never do that" or "that's beautiful but where could I wear that?". Finally there's a costuber that joins the best of history and modernity :) thanks 😊
I’m beginning to realise that I’m very short-waisted...and this may be why I have issues with boning in my corsets. I might just go ahead and make my own, since I want them longer both top and bottom, and I really need to research how bone position was decided.

I have a short torso, too, and making my own was worth the effort. It’s way more comfortable.
It's really nice to see that you use so much seam allowance for mockups and stuff, I mean when you think about it, it's the most logical way to allow for the most adjustment within a single mockup, hopefully reducing the number of mock-ups from like 4 to 2. It just feels like ''extra seam allowance'' is always added to 'beginner' patterns, making it seem as though wide seam allowances are for amateurs. I feel encouraged to add massive seam allowances to all of my mock-ups now. The only problem is I now definitely can't get away with not marking my seams on the fabric, and may even have to threadmark all of them so they're visible from both sides. 😅 Thank you again for another wonderful video on exactly the topic relevant to my current projects! (Well, I am not doing tabless stays, just stays, but the mockuping and more arch patterning was still very helpful) Ps, I am the one who commented on Instagram about this basically being recreating an Edwardian straight front corset with an 18th century stay pattern as the base, thank you for liking it! Ds. ☺️
What about Pepper for the Silver Laced Wyandotte? She reminds me of salt and pepper :) Also these stays are beautiful! I'm dying to make my own based on your patterning methods!
God these look very nice and very comfortable, I wonder if I could engineer a similar tabless pair using the "two piece" pattern I've made my first and second stays with. I guess I'll just have to try it sometime!
We need a review for these!!!
feathery feet is my fave omg
also omg the little chicks made my day!
I've started to make my own!
