Ready-Made Garters
If you just want to buy and apply garters with no sewing,
we stock ready-made garters. We currently carry only
one size and style, but they are available in both
black and white.
Garter "grips", "tabs" or "suspenders" are
the end piece of the garter which actually holds the
stocking, these consist of a metal or plastic loop and
a rubbery knob. "Grips" can
be regular or "convertible"/ "detachable", the detachable
can be removed easily so they do not go through the laundering
process. Links are made of plastic or metal and their
purpose is to "link" the
garter elastic to the garment. These too are detachable
which allows the elastic and garter to be removed. Slides
are made
of metal and look somewhat like a flattened figure eight;
their function is to make the elastic or garter ribbon
adjustable in length.
Our ready-made garters have detachable links and have painted
metal parts.
Ready-Made Garters are sold in packages
of ½ doz.

Zigzag Wires
 |
For all of you not in
theatre and who have not been searching for the extinct
zigzag wire this product is an historical product used
primarily for supporting ladies high neck collars in
Edwardian times. Very delicate and flexible these little
wires were sewn into an organza casing in ladies lace
collars. They supported the collar up the neck without
being visible or adding any bulk or weight. Originally
they were covered in a fine thread casing but those
have not been made for over 10 years. "Farthingales" has
had these wires reproduced of rust resistant steel
without any covering. Rumor has it these little wires
are perfect for puppet ears to so don't limit their
use to the traditional. We'd love to hear what you
do with them.
