I like #2 because it looks so very challenging and different.

[MsShadowGirl]

I think you should go for #2 because it would be interesting to see what a Elizabethan stays construction be like in video.

[cloakedbook]

#3!!!! SO PRETTY! Also, then we get to see you make something to go with them!

[suzyqcable]

1, 2 & 3... Please. I am interested in seeing your making them all. honestly.

[raraavis]

I‘m for number three - because I could immediately picture you in it.
Of course that might just be, because it’s the prettiest (in perfect condition, wonderful fabric etc.) and also in a color that looks marvelous on you. Hm. I guess, it should be one that you would actually end up using for a whole outfit. The second one, however...I don’t know...it doesn’t look like it would be comfortable on a curvy women...so number one would be my second pick.

[javireyessanson]

please do the number 2! I really need help with those, it will be so awesome if you made a tutorial about how to make them <3<3

[LualaDy]

I would say pick one you're inspired to make the according outfit for ^^

#2! I think the style is so unique and I haven't seen anyone else make something like it before

[kyrella_xyz]

#1, I would love to know how uncomfortable they are going to be around the waist! haha :-D On the other hand #3 is really cute... but #1 please!

[joniibryant]

I vote for #3 - that a seriously gorgeous undergarment! I hope you'll show the whole process, especially how you get the gridded pattern sized up for yourself. I've never seen anyone explain that in a way that makes it understandable for us newbs.

And for future projects: I'd love to see a pair of regency stays. I haven't seen anyone do a walkthrough of stays from that era yet. Lots of earlier stuff, lots of later stuff but not much in the way of regency.

Love your videos, lady! Keep on keepin' on! ❤️😊

The straps on the effigy bodies are so comfortable and attractive. The variation I tried featured bias-cut straps that snugged over the shoulders and still stretched with movement while still being supportive. I recommend the effigy bodies even if for nothing more than stealing little parts of the design for other garments later!

[julied.]

My vote would be for #3. 1 just looks weird and 2 just looks uncomfortable. Plus #3 gives you a reason to make some garments you haven't done before.

[rachaelhall]

My vote would be number 1. It looks super interesting and unusual.

[rowan]

#3 is absolutely exquisite, but I find #1 intriguing and I'd love to see how it's made. I vote #1!

[daisanders]

My boned "Tudor" kirtle has the same boning pattern as the #1 bodies, and the ending right at the waist isn't a problem or uncomfortable. The front isn't anywhere that long tho so I'm not sure how that would factor in to the overall lewk/comfort (considering that it seems to have a busk down the front).

After that segway, I must say I love the last one. You can see the slow movement into the C18th silhouette. Plus if you have enough fabric you could make a matching skirt and maybe even detachable sleeves so then you'd have a full outer layer outfit.

[adlibby]

I like #2 because the silhouette is very unique.

[lesbosmoon]

I think you should make number 1 as I have never seen one

[Mystic_Mykayla]

i vote for #2!!! I like how in the photo the stays makes the body appear longer!

[kellyelizabeth]

I think #1 would be more fun for you to make, but #3 would also be very flattering on you with bonus historical cosplay opportunities. #jacobeanwonderwoman

I'm currently making 18th century stays and i seriously underestimated how soulsucking the binding is, now i feel very evil for voting for the 17th century one 😂
