A mixed blessing

[frualeydis]

Should I be happy that my pink 18th century stays fit me perfectly, so that I won't have to make a new pair? And can use my old bodice pattern. Or should I bemoan the fact that I have regained the weight I lost two years ago?
(To be fair: since they are front-laced over a stomacher the fit is somewhat flexible and they could be smaller in the waist - as it is my waist is half an inch bigger with the stays on than without)

Could you give me your waist meassure and your bust meassure. And the lenght from under arm to waist?
If the meassure fits the green stays i made two big, maybe you could buy it very cheap from me, but you have to finnish it yourself?

I am way too big I think. I don't look as big in photos as i really am. My bus tmeasurement is 106-107 cm and my waist is 85.I also have a very long back and a wide ribcage which measures 95 cm at thr lowest ribs and is practically inflexible due to my arthritis.
