Late Regency – a Shape that would Stay.. without stays…

Beginning in about 1810, the new corset began from a simple body bodice made of a strong cotton material called “jean” which would later be known as “coutil” or “couteil”.  While the waist was still high like in the early Regency era corsets, there were less pieces used.
