The Garden Stays are a favourite for Ren faire adventures and everyday whimsy. They’re an ideal base for a complete historical outfit or a modern formal ensemble. Dress them up or down and decorate to your heart’s content—ruffles look especially lovely with this piece!
Your first stays/corset can feel intimidating, but take it step by step. The bias binding is the most advanced step in this pattern. The quick unpick exists for a reason, it’s okay to make mistakes, we take a breath, unpick it and try again.
Take it one step at a time, know it might take a while, there’s a lot of repetition!
This is a really easy pattern to make reversible!
Just make sure your grommets look nice from both sides, and finish the bias tape with an invisible hand stitch- I like the ladder stitch.
Skill Level: Adventurous beginner/intermediate. Knowledge of bias binding is recommended.
Time: Testers completed this pattern between 6 and 15 hours. Perfect as a weekend project!
Format: PDF Digital Pattern will be emailed to you within 15 minutes after purchase. Pattern fIles include Print at home (formatted for A4/USLetter paper), A0 (print at print shop). Please note that because of the boning channels, each size has two files: Classic & Petite Bust, and Fuller bust.
Skill Level: Adventurous beginner/intermediate. Knowledge of bias binding is recommended.
Instructions: There is a 30 page written instruction booklet with digital illustrations AND a youtube sew along. The instruction booklet also includes; Design options, fabric and supplies information, fabric yield recommendations, sizing information, how to pick the right size, finished garment measurements, fit recommendations and solutions, torso length adjustments, how to print, construction of the stays, shoulder straps and how to lace the stays.
Fabric required: See photo for exact measurements, amounts sit between 0.5 to 0.9 metres / 0.55 to 1 yard for each of the lining, outer and the interfacing.
Suggested fabrics: non stretch fabrics such cotton coutil herringbone, or simply cotton drill/duck. Feeling adventurous? The outer layer can be made with other non-stretch fabrics such as, upholstery tapestry, upholstery velvet, taffeta etc. Noting that choosing these fabrics will increase the difficulty of the sewing pattern.
Sizing: Made to be size inclusive.
Fits up to 163 cm / 64.2 inch bust and 149 cm / 58.7 inch waist, and down to a 74 cm / 29.1 inch bust and 62 cm / 24.4 inch waist.
See size chart below. Instructions included to find your Atelier Arden size (sizing chart labels sizes from A - V rather than numbers)
You will determine your size based on your snug waist and bust measurement. For this pattern we have added 3 bust sizes for each waist size, making a total of 66 size options. Note Petite & Classic bust are usually paired together in a file. Fuller bust is usually in it’s own file.
It is essential that you choose a size smaller than your snug body measurements.
Choose a size that is up to 5 cm smaller than your snug waist measurement. The lacing of the stays allows for some flexibility, and in order to have a firm fit, please size down up to 1 size. If you are plus size, it may be worth sizing down 2 sizes for a firm fit and a lacing gap.
Bodies can be so wildly different from one another. Instructions included to alter the pattern for a longer or shorter torso, and fit recommendations and solutions are included in the written instruction booklet.
This pattern was made and tested by humans, and not AI.
