Farthingales is a secure site

Farthingales first opened in January 1998

 Farthingales on-line store was the idea of Linda Sparks, buyer for the Stratford Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario for eight years. Importing of costuming supplies was one of her responsibilities and she became aware of a growing demand for many of these items. Many requests were made over the years by wardrobe staff, designers and even other buyers as to where and how to purchase these products. It seemed only natural to consider importing these unique yet basic items independently and make them available to anyone.

We are pleased to offer an extensive line of corset making products that will appeal not only to the theatrical costumer but the professional dressmaker and creative home-sewer as well.
