The Theresa Stays - 1690s

Due to overwhelming interest, we no longer maintain waitlists. We open a limited number of custom order deposit slots every 3-6 months. Sign up for our mailing list for updates on this process. Our Theresa stays are based on the styles of the oft-overlooked turn of the 18th century, and are designed to be worn under Mantuas and similar styles of late 17th century/early 18th century dress. Theresa creates an elongated conical shape with wide décolletage and a rigid center front. The elongated tabs are a unique feature of this era. Appropriate for 1690-1720.  Made to your measurements. A mockup is included with all Atelier orders for a fully bespoke experience. Due to the varying availability of materials, some minor details may change such as exact lace/trims etc. We can customize most details, colors, materials, etc. Details: Green linen fashion fabric Cotton coutil and twill strength/lining layers Fully boned in 4mm Synthetic Whalebone with extra thick synthetic whalebone
