Love our stays? Love patchwork? Love the beautiful things made by Pandora's Closet? Good news! We have a collab going for some gorgeous patchwork stays from my studio paired with amazing outfits made in hers!

Help! I picked colors for this upcoming patch, and don’t like how they turned out. What colors would you use?

08/02/2024

Ooooh, another patch from the studio!

My friend is producing her first burlesque show, and I’ll be there to kitten! I got to spend some time in the studio today making patches for it!

Finale Friday! Fabric Friday? Final Friday? Whatever I end up calling it, this is my way of giving you a chance at something made for you in the last of a popular material, or of a limited edition material. For our first Finale Friday we're offering two sets of leather stays!
This leather is thick and luxurious, and oh-so beautiful in person.
I estimate we have enough of each of these leathers to make only 4 of each.

Oh, and if you have a suggestion for what to call our limited edition releases, let me know with a comment!

We've been busy in the shop! Not only are the prototypes on super sale on our etsy, but so are our first piece in each standard size and YOU get to choose the fabric!
Already made prototypes ship in 1-2 days, make to order ships in 3 weeks. Look for your size quick, there's only one in each size!

When making changes to my stays designs, what’s the best way to test them? Wear them for a week straight.

*And here are some of the solid side ones! They give a little more of an hourglass shape than the adjustable stays.

It's been ages since I last talked about my sample bodices, and they're all finally up on Etsy!

We had some stays damaged during a storm at one of our shows. They have been cleaned and have no scent or smell and the damage is purely cosmetic. https://tailoroftwocities.shop/collections/damaged-sale
