I Made Maternity Regency Stays | Maternity Corset

In 2020, at three months pregnant, I decided to make a Regency Dress for Halloween. The dress didn't work out, but the stays did and I was able to wear them throughout my pregnancy!

Both images of maternity stays shown at the beginning of my video were found on Pinterest without a proper source cited. It might not have been the best idea to take inspiration from images that could have limited basis in history, but I was going for function over accuracy.

Oh that turned out so beautifully. The cording really adds to the look. It looks great afterwards too.

It was extremely helpful to get to see it on you at the various pregnancy and post pregnancy stages.

This is a great video!! I am currently pregnant and it's so hard to find videos that help tackle my particular needs. Thank you!

Good job lovely!
When I saw.the thumbnail on the notification I was like "Is she pregnant again?" But I was mistaken because I forgot you are slowly releasing stuff that you've filmed over the last couple of years.
Give Maisie a snuggles and smooches from me. 💞

Hi!!!
I’m glad you made them!!!
I’m glad they worked so well!!!

[believeinfaeries]

Wow! These came out so well. I am very impressed with all the sewing you did while pregnant. I was a useless blob during both pregnancies. 😂

They turned out great! I never would have thought of making regency stays front lacing, but that was super smart, especially for maternity. You’ve given me a great idea for making my own maternity regency stays one day once I’m finally pregnant (that’s taking longer than one would think! Lol) :)

This was really interesting to see, thanks for sharing and including how it looked at the various stages. ^_^

Hello! I'm very inspired by your video and will attempt to make a pair myself. Might I ask how they are bust-support-wise? :)
