This style is considered half-boned vs fully boned. The half-boned stays have strategically placed stiff boning to give the wearer the proper shape. These are available in durable natural colored linen, with a cotton lining. The straps are securely sewn to the inside of the stays, not the binding, so they can be easily removed without damaging the structure of the garment. These stays come with a boned stomacher as well.
Postured and elaborated this Stay is a wear of Art; worth owning and having in a collection of fashion. M
I'm very happy with the fit. The fabric is sewn together nicely. The comfort is amazing!
