From my experience from some time ago....<br /><br />sit in a chair with a flat high seat. Modern chairs with a low seat that slope backwards are fine for modern clothes, but not for 18 century garg.<br /><br />sit on the edge of the chair, even to the point it is uncomfortable. I've read that younf girls were forbidden to sit far back, all in the name of posture.<br /><br />...you probably know this already, but hold the top of your back high and well back. It's uncomfortable for us today, but it helps to get the body in the right shape for the stays.<br /><br />Does this help...please let me know.<br /><br />Please visit my blog on corsets and stays<br /><br />https://corsetpicddiscussion.wordpress.com/<br /><br />MintieMintiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07707078009594705237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716677313232500716.post-38793128512241890862018-03-31T18:05:23.089-04:002018-03-31T18:05:23.089-04:00Thank you for writing this article. I have a quest...Thank you for writing this article. I have a question. How does one sit in 18th century stays? When I sit in mine, the underarm part digs into my armpits a bit. This is not a problem when I'm standing; the stays move up when I sit.<br /><br />Is there a certain way to sit in stays, or do you think they might be too long for me?<br /><br />Thank you very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
