How many stitches does it take to make a pair of stays? Honestly, that sounds terrifying. But there are 248 bones and over 50 eyelets, not to mention any of the seaming or binding. It's a big project to take on, but it's been almost 15 years since my last every day pair was made. In the end, I worked on this pair for about a month with a few days off here and there for my hands. It's amazing to think of 18th century tailors that specialized in stays and would sit there doing this day after day!
