Whilst almost everyone else I've watched/read prefers the "fluffy" gowns and Undergarments...I'm more interested in the "Everyday Lady", hence, I've found the leather Stays. I've just found out that it was usual for one's Beloved (either betrothed or wedded) to build one's busk. Won't my husband be surprised, this evening, when I request he begin to construct a busk for me? lol ...and then I'll I have to educate him on what that is, along with the dimensions.
