Steel Boned Silk Stays- ALL COLORS
Silk Steel-Boned Stays
Available in 25 colors, please note your choice of color during checkout under special instruction. Color options are visible under images. NEW GOLD, SILVER, NEBULA (RED TONE SHIFT) AND PANDORA (BLUE TONE SHIFT) OPTIONS! (also pictured is the available emerald color option)
Crafted in luminous dupioni silk and structured with spiral and flat steel boning, these stays are designed to sculpt the torso with strength, elegance, and historical integrity.
The front is smooth and uninterrupted — no lacing — allowing the silk to showcase its natural slub and depth of color. Vertical channels create a clean, architectural silhouette while maintaining flexibility and comfort through the waist.
A gently curved neckline frames the chemise beneath, while hand-finished scalloped tabs at the waist allow the garment to sit beautifully over skirts and petticoats without restriction. Each tab is individually shaped and reinforced for durability and long wear.
Finished with metal grommets and traditional rear lacing for adjustability, these stays offer a secure, customizable fit while maintaining a historically inspired structure.
Available with or without shoulder straps.
