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.
