I want to work on the stays but this week has been nuts. While im super happy the hockey team made the playoffs, their schedule is cutting into my life! Though if they keeping playing the way they have and the refs keep making bullshit calls, it might be over next week...

But what i have had time to do is MOAR RESEARCH. I feel like i never noticed how many 1780s stays are out there but there are TONS. What i concluded is that my front is really too short. Most of tje examples i found had proportions of 71% of the back length, but mine is over half! (17" back and a 9" CF length) plus i think the side panels are a little too short too. Also, maybe the panels should be shaped a little differently? The side front edges hit right at the sides of my boobs, but a lot of the ones i looked at go back further.

I might have time on saturday to play with this, before/after Sense & Sensibility. I thought sunday was clear but I forgot my brother and i are going to see Guardians of the Galaxy.

I think im going to use some of the ikea fabric too. Near as i can tell its a light weight canvas. Perfect!
