Bonnet & Corset Progress

Here are a few progress shots of my current projects. This is a reproduction 1860s straw bonnet form that I have been working on in my free time.

And this is the set of early 1800s Corded Stays that I am making for a customer. Right now I'm in the process of cording them.

One of my current projects is a pair of c1810-20s Corded Stays similar to the above pair from the book 'Revolution in Fashion'. I thought that it would be useful to compile a list of patterns and sites that I've browsed while gathering inspiration and techniques for this project.
