Corset
supplies mean anything from corset bones to garters
and everything in between from corset fabric to corset laces, busks
and grommets. If it’s
used in corset building we likely have it!

The above links will take you to all the
things you need to make a corset. If you
want to try making your own corset but would
feel more confident after taking a
corset making class then go
to our
corset making classes page.
If you can’t imagine trying
to make your own corset
then consider buying one. Check our ready-made
corsets page. Or you can learn more about what’s
involved in having
a corset custom made
to your measurements
on our custom
made corsets page and our corset
gallery.
The corset bones and spiral
bones pages include
pictures
of various types of corset bones.
Spiral bones come in two widths, are grey
(metal) in color and the most flexible
of all corset bones. Spring
steel bones, which
are also known as white bones,
come in four qualities. We also sell the
special “U” shaped
tips to fit the ends of bones
after you cut them and a Bone
Tipping Tool to both cut bones to length
and apply the tips! There is also a link
to the “How to tip bones with
pliers” page. See just what it
takes to successfully tip bones
without a costly tool. Check
out the Tips & Tricks page for lots of helpful instructions.
The busk
page offers 4 types of corset
busk and all come in a range of sizes. We sell only Wissner Busks and
offer the straight busk also
called a regular busk with either
silver coloured
or gold coloured hardware. This
means you can buy a gold busk
or a silver
busk to co-ordinate with your
fabric. FarthingalesLA.com also
stocks the
historical and sometimes hard
to find Spoon Busk. This is the
busk common
in the late 1800’s and shaped
like a spoon, the “bowl” of
the spoon cups over the stomach and
the “handle” fits between
the breasts. Spoon
busks are
the most expensive of all the
busks but the
shaping is worth it for fuller
figures. Wide busks are straight
busks that
are 2 inches wide in total, these
are commonly sold to opera companies
and
women needing more substantial
chest support. Some tight lacers
also like
them for the extra support.
The coutil page contains photographs
and information of all our corset fabrics;
coutil is fabric specifically
for corset making. Coutil is
not a type of weave
it’s a quality of fabric. We
sell herringbone coutil, satin
coutil and brocade coutil.
The corset notions page
discusses all of the incidental
products required for corset building such
as tailoring tools and dressmaker pins.
The corset & cotume
patterns page
includes corset and period costume patterns
for both women and men. We stock
all of the Laughing Moon patterns; a wider
selection will be available in future.
The grommet page has
kits with corset sized grommets. We have kits
that contain grommets and grommet setting
tools. Grommets are available in nickel or
in brass finish.
