Lovely job Lauren! Do you like them? Was the pattern easy to follow? I havent decided if I want to try a pair of short stays or not, how well do they offer support?

I really like the way they feel. They do give good support. The only thing I would do differently is make the shoulder straps more narrow. They're kinda wide, but other than that, it's really easy to make and follow. :-)

It turned out lovely, Lauren. I agree re: the straps. They do end up coming out from under gowns quite a bit. I can't believe you hand-stitched the whole thing. Wow!

I guess I'm a little nuts :-) I love sitting on the couch stitching, especially after dinner and a long day at work. It's so relaxing, plus the fur kids and curl up with me. I usually end up with both dogs on either side with their heads in my lap, and a little birdy boy trying to "help" me sew. It's fun :-)

Very nicely done, Lauren. You're inspiring me to get moving with this local bunch I'm trying to organize.

They're great looking Lauren, and look like they fit well. When you raise your arms, do the stays slide up, or do they stay in place? I made this one, and later found out it was too big, but when I raised my arms, it slide up and the grils slide down. I'm going to try one again sometime, and get it fitted better next time. Good to know about making the straps narrower. I thought they were a little too wide also.

The girls seem to stay in place pretty well. However, we'll see how they work when wearing them for an event :-)
Thank you everyone for your sweet comments :-)
