	Sense & Sensibility 13: Sense and Sensibility 13: Regency Underthings Here are the underpinnings you need to give you the proper Regency foundation! This package includes patterns for a chemise, short stays, and two chemisettes. The chemise was modeled from original garments in several museum collections and features an adjustable drawstring neckline and gussets under the arms for a comfortable fit. Some parts of the pattern are rated "intermediate," like the stays, but the chemise and chemisettes are simple enough for a beginniner. Do note that the short stays will not offer ample enough support for sizes "DD" and above. The designer of this pattern would instead recommend "the excellent Regency Stays pattern by The Mantua Maker," which is for longer (hip-length) stays and can be easily modified to support larger cup sizes.
