Thunderbird Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 i am surprised you even know what stays are! but no, this is not clothing, but is/was used on a daily basisI was watching "Journey to the center of the earth” late last night. The geologist told the woman on the expedition to remove her "stays" so she could breath . A "bodice" Quote

pamela Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 i figured it had to be something like that as most people do not know the history behind different articles of fashion. I, for one, could not have handled those, give me a pair of loose cotton fatigues and a tee shirt and i am good to go! Quote

Theory5 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 eight different ways in which to tieIts that first part that gets me. I have been thinking of this since I read this in the morning. I would say chair but then its that first part again that doesnt seem right. chippendaleWhat is that? I am not going to google that in school :-P Quote
pamela Posted March 24, 2009 Report Posted March 24, 2009 yeah!!! good enough, any upholstered antique furniture will domaybe that one was too obscure try this one 16 to viewyet many askewif only the english knewyou would take your cue what am i?hey theory- 8 way hand tied is the way the furniture used to be constructed- it refers to the knotting of the twine to the springs which form the support. Chippendale is just one of the many styles of furniture. The sofas were stuffed with horsehair to give firmness and fill to the back , sides and bottom. Very uncomfortable- these were not lounging pieces, they literally made you sit upright and keeping your posture- no couch potatoes back then;) Turtle 1 Quote
