Vogue Fabrics becomes US Distributor for Farthingales Corset Supplies

Hello everyone! Sean is letting me guest blog this entry, as I am way too excited about this announcement: Vogue Fabrics has become the official US Distributor for Farthingales corset supplies.

“Egads! Corsets?!” Yes. You would be amazed at how many people need steel and spiral boning for period and theatrical costumes, historical reenactment, bridal and evening wear, even to give more body to haute couture jackets.

Now you will have one stop shopping to pick up bones, busks, patterns plus all the fabrics and trims, producing a more complete shopping experience. These items will ship from our warehouse near Chicago, so shipping to all points in the US will be greatly reduced compared to shipping cross-country or from Canada.

You can read more about the distributorship in our Press Release, and view all the products on our site. Well, almost all. I still have a few more to upload, but I think you get the picture.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at myvoguefab@aol.com and I will be happy to respond.

Have a fantastic holiday season everyone!

Here's the Press Release:

Evanston, IL – Vogue Fabrics has become the official United States
distributor for Farthingales, one of North America’s most popular
suppliers of steel products for corset building.

“We’ve seen in Los Angeles that there is a high demand for fashion corsets to wear for special events as well as for going to the clubs at night,” says Linda Sparks, owner of Farthingales, and author of The Basics of Corset Building. “Now the opera houses, theater costumers, burlesque dancers and historical reenactment participants, as well as fashionable dressmakers, will have a more complete shopping experience.”


“Not only will customers be able to order the steel corset bones and busks, but they can also browse the thousands of fabrics for which Vogue Fabrics has become famous,” adds Rogie Sussman Faber, Director of Internet Operations for www.VogueFabricsStore.com.


All of the products that were available on www.FarthingalesLA.com will now be available on the Vogue Fabrics website. Not all items will be carried in the Vogue Fabrics Chicago area retail stores, but they will be available for Special Order from the Vogue Fabrics Warehouse, or they can be pre-ordered on-line and picked up in one of the stores.

The Skinny on Thinsulate

Dana Marie 1032 What if we told you there was one fabric that could keep you warm outside, indoors, in your bed - and it would totally go with everything? What is it?  It's 3M™ Thinsulate™ . This is an "interlining" which gets sewn between two fabrics to form a protective barrier from the elements. The next time you sew a winter coat, sandwich Thinsulate between the fashion fabric and the lining to get that extra layer of protection from wind and biting cold.  Thinsulate™ Insulation Type C offers about one and a half times the warmth of down and nearly twice the warmth of high loft fiberfill insulations when equal thicknesses are compared.  It is designed for use where a thin compressible insulation is important. It is breathable, moisture-resistant and can be washed or dry cleaned depending on individual manufacturers' recommendations. Here's what 3M has to say about their Thinsulate: "3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation is used in your jack...

Medical Scrub Fabric for Nurses, Doctors, Orderlies and Lab Techs

Nurses, doctors and health care professionals who are required to wear scrubs have a good idea of what works and does not work for them in the regulation attire.  The " one-size-fits-all " approach to hospital issued scrubs just does not cut it sometimes, you know? Do you relate to any of these statements? You need a larger pocket for your stethoscope. You won’t wear scrubs with less than two shirt pockets. You like lots of pockets on the pants like cargo pants. You can’t stand pockets on the pants because they pull the pants down. You want a longer scrub top to cover your hips & "thangs" better. You work so hard your side seams are starting to burst. You need something shorter/longer because of your height. You need a fuller cut in the bust, but you don’t want to look like you are wearing a tent at the waist. OK, OK, OK….. You get the idea.  We all have our preferences.  So, what to do? Vogue Fabrics is now carrying...

Becoming a Fashion Designer. Tips on Starting a Fashion Design Business.

We get hundreds of visits from Fashion designers at Vogue Fabrics Warehouse. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know a few dozen of them personally and I have come to learn a few things about what they do well and what mistakes they make. I have especially learned that fashion design and having an apparel line is not an easy business. But once you learn the tricks it can bring a lot of satisfaction, purpose, esteem, fame, and hopefully- profit. Recently, we were visited by a young designer who was just starting her business.  After working with her for many hours we were able to fill her inventory needs. At the end of her visit, we both agreed she had made the right choice in visiting us instead of making dozens of appointments with vendors in other cities' garment districts. Our access to several dozen fabric types, constructions, and styles, some with continuity and some novelty, ended up being our strongest advantage as a source for fabrics.  Undoubtedly, she could have saved...
