Very beautiful! I have yet to attempt stays myself, and to be honest, I am a bit intimidated by them. Any tips on making them perhaps?

Thank you!

I think my best tip would be that you should start with stays that has got machine-sewn channels. From what I've heard, people are likely to end up making second stays sooner or later because they often start to feel like the first stays weren't as good as they could have been so I guess I wouldn't sew my first stays by hand. Although, I guess some people would disagree with me... I have quite a few stay-making tips on my mind so maybe you could specify? Material tips or maybe tips concerning some specific part of construction?
