In the United States, children dress up in space cadet costumes, teen devil costume and go out to get candy. Adults like to get in on the action by dressing up themselves and by eating some of the candy booty their kids bring home. A full 62% of all parents will tell you that they have raided their kids’ candy stash at least once. The modern holiday that we call Halloween was started as the Celtic festival that they called “Samhain.” This ancient custom was started about two thousand years ago. This was set to coincide with their New Year celebrations — the New Year for them started on November 1. This was also the delineation between the fall and the winter. To them, the dead could come back to walk the earth on this day every year. This was not a time to dress up in space cadet costumes for them. They believed this to be the best time for their priests to see into the future. This was very important to people who had no real way of forecasting the weather. While costumes were a part of the celebrations, they basically wore animal skins and heads. Changes were due to come to the British Isles and Ireland, where Samhain was practiced. The Roman Empire had taken control over most of the area by 43 AD. Not wanting to deter the locals, they combined the Samhain festival with two of their own holidays. The two Roman holidays were to celebrate the Roman Goddess of fruit and trees (Pomona) and the day of Feralia, which was when the Romans honored the dead. All of this changed when Pope Boniface IV made his changes. The Roman Pantheon was formally dedicated to Christian martyrs in 609 AD. This was the year that All Souls Day was begun. Originally, it was set for May 13 but it was moved to November 1. The celebrations for All Souls Day were pretty similar to Samhain. Bon fires were lit, parades were held and people dressed up in costumes, though they got rid of the animal skins and began to dress up as devils and saints. The night before All Souls Day was referred to as “All Hallow’s Eve,” which later became “Halloween.” In the New World, celebrations for Halloween were varied. The strict Puritans were not fans of the holiday but states that were further south were. In the United States, people took customs from around Europe and mixed them with Native American traditions. This could be seen in the songs that were sung, the dancing people did and the costumes that were selected. As time wore on, many of the religion was taken out of the holiday and it became more a fun event than one to celebrate the harvest or divine the future. By the time the 1930s rolled around, Halloween was a totally secular thing. It retained the parades, dances and songs but also began to be a night for teen mischief. The holiday was even more geared towards children by the 1950s. It was during that decade that trick or treating became widespread. To avoid being the brunt of any of the “tricks” that were perpetrated that night, people gave out “treats.” This is how that phrase was started. A lot has changed in the world of Halloween sine the first days of Samhain. Now people dress up in a wide variety of costumes. From space cadet costumes to ghost pirate costumes or scary costumes for women and men, people try to outdo each other in terms of how creative their costumes are. We have even gotten our fluffy and feathered friends in on the fun. Many cities and municipalities have costume contests for pets of all kinds, though dogs seem to get the most out of dressing up with their companions. The holiday is only getting more and more popular In 2017, an estimated 179 million people in the United States alone celebrated the holiday. At least 70% said they would stay home to give out treats. People throughout the country spend $9.1 billion every year on the holiday for space cadet costumes or ghoul costumes. Halloween is always fun. The post Learn More About the History of Halloween appeared first on 1776 The Musical. ]]>

Completely boned, the fashion fabric is an exquisite damask, and lined with a printed fabric. It is unclear what the fiber of the lining is, but the pattern is interesting. The shape of these stays do not really suggest 1770 or 1780 but much earlier. The spade and the spreading fingers at center front suggest a much earlier date. Bound in pink/peach ribbon, they are a work of art, no question. The ribbons at the shoulder straps do look original to the garment. <br /> <br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644386641227277282" border="0" /></a><a href=" Arts Decoratifs</a> <br /> <br /></div>This Corps a' baleine, is dated 1735-1770, they are giving themeselves a wide range on this pair. Again the spade at center front and the spreading fingers. Decorative false lacing covers the center fronts. This lacing is not functional, but only for display. A beautiful gold damask is the fashion fabric and the stays are fully boned. Ignore the bows, the stylist put those on for the photos. The styling certainly suggests the earlier date. <br /> <br />2011/08/corps-baleine-france.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-2213971862684370151Sun, 21 Aug 2011 09:02:00 +00002011-08-21T05:50:38.068-04:00busksStay BraidStay MakerM.

Here are the examples we have to go by, the aiglet is integral to the stay braid/cord. We often use bodkins or even bobby pins in a pinch to help lace up a pair of stays. How much easier to have a built in bodkin, eliminating the bulk of pulling a doubled cord through the eyelet hole. <br /> <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=";<img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 355px; height: 51px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643240848440307250" border="0" /></a>Pennsylvania Gazette, July 11, 1754 <br /></div> <br />This example of an advertisement shows us how the stay cord was listed for sale, along with other small woven goods such as ferrits (woven tape) and galoon (trim). <br /> <br />Of great interest is that I can find no busks for sale. None, zip, nada Unless my gentle readers can find me one! We know from extant busks that they were often personalized and carved by men for women. <br />2011/08/m-diderot.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-3914049305240982094Sat, 13 Aug 2011 11:38:00 +00002011-08-13T07:54:09.296-04:00baby staysChildren's Stayslinen staysTypes of StaysBaby StaysA new online find, a set of English children's stays, they were described by the dealer as small enough to only fit a baby. These stays have seen wear, they are not pristine and they are not fancy. Simple brown (unbleached) linen comprises the layers, both fashion fabric and inner layers. They are 16.5 inches wide and only 7 inches long at center back (the longest point). They are mounted on a baby mannequin. <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640304107420368898" border="0" /></a> The white patch is an old paper label, not a part of the stays. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5640304246919662738" border="0" /></a>Knowing that Center Back is 7 inches and we deduct one and a half inches for the protruding tab, the body of the stays at center back is only 5.5 inches long.

According to the auction house they are American in provenance. The very pale shade of blue is interesting, since up until now I have only seen a deep indigo or logwood shade of blue used on stays. This is a much less intense shade. The lining is obviously missing, but another nice example to add to the database.2011/08/new-auction-find.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-1715682490930383733Thu, 28 Jul 2011 18:23:00 +00002011-08-02T07:17:07.543-04:00178018th centuryTypes of Stays1780s Stays (Italian?)This set of stays is from an Italian collector of clothing from many time periods. Follow the link and you will see a number of items of interest from the 18th century onwards. These are some of the best photographs that I have seen online of an 1780s style pair of stays. <br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634470999752426674" border="0" /></a><a href=" Antichi<br /></a></div>The back is not laced properly, but you can still see the offset lacing holes and the very high back of this style of stays.

What you don't see is how narrow these boning channels actually are, having looked at many similar, I would estimate that the bones are no more than 5mm and could actually be less. Once again in this time period the outer fashion fabric is a plain shade of beige/brown cotton. The leather binding of the stays is now being replaced by linen or cotton tape. The fingers/tabs are more tooth like and less rounded than in earlier stays.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634470868705406050" border="0" /></a>The partial front lacing allows for some accommodation to round out the shape. There are two sets of lacing holes, one to actually draw in the stays and another for a decorative ribbon. The front is very narrow with the boning pattern drawing the bust in and the shoulder straps providing support. This is a very nice pair of later stays.2011/07/1780s-stays-italian.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-4034326453533056496Sun, 10 Jul 2011 06:11:00 +00002011-07-17T12:38:31.189-04:0018th centuryeyeletsMaking StaysthreadThe Eyes Have it!A new toy in my sewing box made me take a fresh approach to looking at eyelets as found in 18th century original stays.<br /><br />This toy was purchased at Home Depot, a micrometer.

A little slower than the internet, but an effective way to keep up with world events, politics, news of note, and gossip.<br /><br />Mary Hammond, a widow of a bankrupt man, pleaded poverty up until the end of her life. She left instructions that her stays and shoes were to be thrown into a ditch upon her death. A suspicious heir- in- law, decided to investigate and upon splitting open the stays found money and notes to the value of 1300 l. as well as a quantity of silver and gold coins.<br /><br /> As a personal item, with connotations of intimacy, the stays were obviously not handled by anyone else in the household as the sheer weight of gold and silver coins would have revealed that the stays were being used as a safety deposit box, hiding assets from creditors as well as family members. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 350px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5616756578920113890" border="0" /></a>From the London Magazine for July 1737 and reprinted in the Boston Gazette, September 26, 1737.2011/06/money-in-bank.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-4040302080248390660Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:03:00 +00002011-06-08T06:11:24.854-04:00BooksWearing StaysNew Book on the Block: Stays and Body Image in London<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615787614321713874" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);font-size:130%;" ><a href=" and Body Image in London: Lynn Sorge English</a><br /></span></div><br />Just arrived from Amazon, the much anticipated book by Lynn Sorge on stays and staymaking in London, .

It appears that the staymaker was coming late to the party and trying to adapt his old tried and true patterns to the new style. These had to be one of a kind. Linen with leather binding.<br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);font-size:130%;" ><br />Another! </span><br /><br />These stays were listed at the Karen Augusta Auction in March, 2011.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 260px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612987266751943090" border="0" /></a><br />At first I thought the Ebay pair was a reselling of the pair from the Augusta Auction. The same brown linen and sewn down tabs. But the decorative stay tape is not the same and the binding of these linen stays is plain woven linen tape. Linen tape appears much less frequently than leather binding and more often in stays of a later date (4th qtr, 18th Century). So now there are two.<br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">or three!</span></span><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href=" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 381px; height: 400px;" src="; alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612989674042497522" border="0" /></a>These <a href=" </a>from the Brooklyn Museum, now held at the Met in NYC, also has the tabs completely sewn down and in this view, the rising waistline of the changing gown style is pretty visible. The olive green linen worsted suggests the possibility that these stays were remodeled from an earlier pair. Green worsted was a popular covering for stays of the 3rd qtr. Worsted is less frequently found in the fashionable 1780s stays, where brown linen and cotton predominate as fashion fabrics.2011/05/medium-rare.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5525832180559124343.post-7039093551136127289Sat, 28 May 2011 11:28:00 +00002011-05-29T08:14:59.035-04:00auctionlinen staysSomethings Borrrowed and Somethings NewThis past year has brought many changes and while making stays and researching stays has been ongoing, blogging has lagged behind.

The lining of the stays is missing and there are no tabs to splay out over the hips, suggesting a later date when stays followed the fashion of the rising waistline. Also unusual is the fact that these stays are of only three pieces and the boning of the stays makes no accommodation for the curves of the body and are straight up and down, suggesting use by a child or a slight young woman. </div><br /><br /><div></div></div><br /><a href=" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399594085091316018" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 400px; height: 242px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="; border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>The full view of these stays shows the unusually high back and the odd shaping at the bottom of the center back.

This female staymaker has wove stays in stock, and also has imported patented stay cloth for those wishing to have custom stays made in Newport. The advantage of wove stays as advertised is that the stays will wash and look as "fresh as when new". Certainly an advantage over stays that cannot be washed, having not seen or heard of "wove" stays prior to finding this advertisement, more research to follow. Gentle readers, if anyone has encountered such an item as "wove" stays please let this blogger know!<br /><br /><div><strong>Boston Gazette, 10 August, 1767</strong></div>2009/08/wove-stays.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Hallie Larkin)
