Rachel's Underpinnings

The second part of getting dressed as a colonial girl is the underpinnings:  the stays and the pannier.

For this step of the process, I chose the Underpinnings pattern by Thimbles and Acorns on #PixieFaire.

Since I am planning for the stays to be an undergarment, I continued with the white cotton.

The stays are supported with boning and close in the back with ties similar to a corset.

The panniers are strung on a tie around the waste and boning helps them hold their shape.  Each pannier features a pocket.
