Corsetry for Dummies: 18th Century Stays (corset) for Beginners - Augusta Stays

Instructions are overrated. Who needs them? I hate them.
This is a review of the Augusta 18th Century Stays pattern from Scroop Patterns from 1775 to 1789.

This pattern is by Scroop Patterns and Virgils Fine Goods is really easy to use and the instructions (that I read after I finished sewing) are very well put together. It even made me emotional. These 18th Century Stays are very comfortable and I even recommend them for beginner sewists. If you are beginning your journey in corset sewing, this is the pattern for you.

I don't like pattern instructions because they are badly written and hard to understand, but not these for the Agusta Stays. I sewed the theatrical version of these stays that don't have the frontal lacing. This is a pattern made with love. I am very impressed.

I didn't make any alterations to the pattern because I wanted to make a fair review of the fit and the result is very impressive. There is little that I would change. Corsetry is very tricky, but these are very well done patterns.

I don't own any 18th Century historical undergarments, so I had to improvise with what I had at home - those are undergarments for German traditional costumes and they are very beautiful and flattering (sarcasm mode on).
My mom must be very proud of me 😂 .

"i enjoy suffering very much"


2 of each? Scheize 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really enjoyed that. Can relate!

[oliviajosh]

I been struggling to find proper instructions to make a corset for a while now😩 you make it seem easy

[saralist]

This had to be the most fun tutorial ever. Thank you for sharing your experience and humor!

[Mellimaus]

I enjoyed your video very much! About your dog eating grass and puking... Thats something they do when they've eaten wrong food or feeling sick to help them throw up. As annoying as it is, its mostly a good thing :)

[maryberg]

OMG...I am rolling! When I made my first set, it was all screaming and crying. I think I like humor better. Thank you.

This is the most positive video that I saw ever at 4 o'clock in the morning! ^_^

[lilianmiramontesjr.]

The chaos of your video is SO REFRESHING!

[TeranosukeUnko]

This was really helpful and fun to watch! Now I really feel like giving a try to corsets/slays! :D

I love how the graphoc for "awl" is an owl making a chicken noise!!! 😂😂😂

[emilylock]

I've only ever made one garment before but I'm so tempted to make this 😂

[mirahs_world]

Ahh, very lovely! I started my sewing journey last year and it has been a struggle, but I hope I can become as skilled as you one day. Love seeing sewists that show the chaos of sewing with pets and kids since I can totally relate. Can't wait to try this :)

[vfrances]

Nice work! They came out great! I HAD to subscribe to your channel as you simply made my day and I am a big fan! I just love your very amusing delivery style!

[jayneeojeda]

this is the best thing, I'm so happy I found this channel!

[TheGabygael]

When sewing the channels I just sew them far enough so they will be secured by the bias strip
And bias wasn't the norm back then so good on you for having a more accurate pair of stays on that regard

[maicey_t.]

I don't know how I've never heard of you before today, but I am in love with your channel. You show the true chaos of the sewing experience. I'm currently working on stays right now as well and I FEEL the pain of cutting too many layers of fabric. Your stays turned out just lovely. :)
(PS, your doggo probably had an upset stomach! Dogs like to eat grass when they're feeling yucky. It helps soothe their tummies. My dog does it all the time.)

[kairiwitch]

This is the first video of yours I have seen and I just have to say you are a freaking delight!😍😍😍Subscribing!

[camib]

This is awesome and I love how your stays turned out. I also love the way you film. Chaos is fun!

[EpicKate]

The best of part was the end with the modeling and the funny voiceover. You're the best!

[GreenMartha]
