" I have
inclosed a pattern of a pair of stays, that I have worn
for some time past and can answer for their ease and
convenience. I had suffered severely from a pain in my
side, but since I have worn stays similar to this
pattern, I have been much better. One yard and a quarter
of satteen is sufficient to make them; and three lengths
of whalebone, one on each side of the front and another
down the middle of the back, should be used. Hooks and
eyelet-holes or buttons for fastening." '
Fig.1 Front
Fig.2 Side-piece [Reversed]
Fig.3 The whole of
the back.
