Costuming the lazy way...
Having someone else make it!
I had a bit of a red letter day today and got not one but two pairs of stays in the mail! The talented Jen Thompson sold me some 1/2 boned stays she'd decided to get rid of. I knew that Jen and I are pretty close in size and she does great work so I jumped at the chance when I heard she was selling them. And I'm so glad I did, they fit like they were made for me and are so pretty!
I also ordered a pair of Florentine stays from Pearsons Renaissance Shop during their Black Friday sale. I knew I needed something to wear under the Borgias outfit I'm planning, but if you know me you know I loathe making underwear. I have no idea how accurate they are but they have the shape I wanted so I'm happy.

Yay for other costumers being your size! And that's not being lazy...it's being smart and savy!! Besides, you do a lot of work and it all looks fabulous!

Thanks Gina! I really like to concentrate on sewing what people actually SEE so I buy undies whenever I can! ;)
