I've seen an example that looks half-boned, and another that doesn't look very boned at all, but was probably made with a rather stiff fabric. They were, of course, not formal wear, but for pregnant women who didn't wish to wear fully boned stays--or possibly, ladies of all classes who just wanted to be more comfortable--they were an acceptable alternative.<br /><br />And I will add, in my opinion, a well-fitted, properly-laced pair of stays (not talking about tight-lacing here), is better support and more comfortable than modern female underwear any day.Lucynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5022318990784415929.post-90356080530733625932018-05-03T07:20:23.549-04:002018-05-03T07:20:23.549-04:00You and Loretta can climb on your soapbox any time...You and Loretta can climb on your soapbox any time you want.

I love mob caps though, a wonderfully practical way of controlling the hair and keeping it clean.
