Corset Fashion Show

The corset fashion show being produced by Farthingales will be presented Friday, October 22nd 2010 during the Creativ Festival in Toronto.

The show will be about 45 minutes long and will feature over 30 corsets that will have been designed and executed by over 16 different individuals! The corsets will be made by a wide cross section of people - most of whom have limited corset making experience but are artists in other areas. Those with minimal corset experience are pairing up with people who will help guide them through the process so this is a serious team effort! The designs are just now beinging to come in and the diversity is amazing. Everyone will be putting their own spin on what a corset can be. Look for knit corsets, painted corsets, and everything from historic underwear corsets to goth look corsets and even corsets for business wear.

If you can't make it to the show on October 22nd there will be a display of some one them at the Farthingales booth for the balance of the weekend.

Corset Making Class

The next Corset Class taught by Linda Sparks of Farthingales will be held October 20th at the Creativ Festival in Toronto. The information should be on their web site soon.

The class is just one day! And will be based on a pre-cut corset kit similar but not the same as those found on http://www.ryeandgingerkits.com/

Corset Fashion Show

Farthingales will not only be taking part in the fashion show during the Creativ Festival but there will also be a booth to display the corsets after the fashion show for the balance of the weekend. This festival opens the opportunity for each corset maker to work with other creative women, create her own look and incorporate other needle arts than just machine sewing. The organizer of the Creativ Festival said this project epitomizes what the Creativ Festival is all about.

The Fashion show will take place on Friday October 22nd, time to be announced. Day admission to the Creativ Festival is $15.00 for Adults, $12.00 for Seniors and $4.00 for students/youth. The Farthingale's booth will be located within view of the fashion show -- including our booth displaying the corsets from the fashion show. 

We are excited to be showcasing a variety of corsets that will represent different types of corset making!
