This outfit includes a fully boned set of stays, shift, petticote, mantua, cap and scarf. It is not exactly authentic for the 1690’s since I used a sewing machine, but it’s pretty close. Rebecca Nurse was hanged as a witch in 1692 in Salem, MA and was my Great(13 times) Aunt. I’ve always wondered what it felt like to wear stays – they’re surprisingly comfortable, but a little warm. Plus it’s not easy to bend over – I don’t think our grandmothers spent much time sitting down. 🙂
