Make a smash at your next Renaissance Festival with this outfit based on van Gogh's Starry Starry Night. This listing includes the shirt, skirt, and bodice made in your size.
About the Stays:
These stays (often called a bodice or corset) are based on the effigy stays if Queen Elizabeth I, with curved seams for the hips and derriere instead of tabs. They distribute the pressure better across the lower back and sides for better comfort. These lace up the sides and front, allowing you to dress yourself without assistance and to adjust for changes in size.
These are fully boned, so no painful pressure points from too little boning!
