| Corset Links This is a small list of some of my favorite sites. Most of them have enough links to keep you occupied for hours! Some are sites in this Webring that I think are worth going to first! Information
Corsetry.Com has lots of good links. The Elizabethan Corset Pages are worth taking a peek at for examples of earlier styles of corsets. . L.I.S.A.'s corset FAQ. Be sure to peruse the rest of their site!!!Materials Sources Hopefully I won't regret sharing this great source (who needs comptetition on hard-to-find commodities...) but Greenberg and Hammer, Inc. has a huge catalog of notions and dressmaking supplies with lots of corset making stuff, including spoon busks (but don't get too excited, while they are wider at the bottom than the top, they don't have the curve of a traditional spoon busk) and boning, casing, boning tip fluid...and has great prices on everything. Be wary of ordering lacing from them as I believe it is from them that I ordered lacing that broke in many places an hour into putting on my corset... They can be contacted at 800-955-5135. Farthingales sells corsetry fabrics - coutils and cotton brocades, as well as boning, casing, and busks. Good prices on boning if you don't mind metric measurements. Lacis is a great source for everything you need (look under the category of costuming and millinery), and they ship anywhere, but are a bit more pricey. Richard the Threadhas corset supplies, notably the elusive small grommet, as well as patterns. Grannd Garb Historical Supply Company has corset supplies and other cool stuff. Victoria Louise has corsetry supplies, patterns and other pretties. Need D-ring bootlaces? Order them from S.P. Derma at 1-800-843-8851. I've used one pattern by Past Patterns (#213) and loved it! Corset Companies Online Romantasy in San Francisco is THE place to go should you not feel up to sewing your own. Fetish-N-Leatherhas elegant and unique leather corsets.Here are some companies with more modest prices that I have ordered from and been very pleased. Absolute Corsets and Versatile Fashions. This is one of my dearest friends, The Dark Poet, for her second book. |
