In's and Out's of the New Website

Last year at this time I had begun to build a new website by myself, with no previous experience. It was out of necessity rather than the desire to develop a new skill. It finally went live last September and life has continued to be crazy busy since.

If you're not familiar with our website www.farthingales.on.ca then you might want to visit it to see the selection of corset making supplies and other things we have.  In the top right corner of the home page you'll see a link to our SALE items, these are mostly items that are being discontinued by our supplies and since we can't get more, we're "sale-ing" them. You'll also find end of bolt pieces of coutil there, so it's worth checking out.

Along the top of the webpage are links to products - click on the "Books" one and see the drop down menu that includes second hand books that have come in from local costumers who set the price on the books they no longer need or don't have room for.

Down the left side of the page are links to interesting bits like this blog and our on-line Tips & Tricks section that has several free articles, that I've written over the years. There is also a link to our In-Store Classes which are classes you can take here at our Stratford, Ontario location.  Many are for kids and the adult ones include pattern drafting and costume making. The classroom has tons of natural light and has been awesome to work in.


If you're purchased from the new website you'll have had the opportunity to sign up for our e-newsletter of which we have sent very few but one will be going out in early July with a special Discount Code that can be used on July purchases for product from the site.

Sooo, if you've not yet explored all the "newish" site has to offer check it out now....

New Website

It's amazing how complicated the internet can be. How many "accounts" I have and how many passwords!!! I have Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and ...this blog, as well as a website and I can't seem to keep on top of it all and get anything else done.

But, there is some important news.

Farthingales has a new website and....I built it myself, despite having no web building experience and not really being that computer savy. I'd much rather handle tangible materials like coutil and corset bones! It's been almost a year since I plotted the plan for the new website using "publisher" and figured out all the links and levels AND it's bee one hell of journey - truly, it was like being in hell at times, trying to figure it all out and failing. However the new site is now live - has been for a few weeks and most kinks have been worked out. So I'm hoping you'll all go take a peak.

www.farthingalescorsetmakingsupplies.com

Same URL as before.

Keep in mind - if you had an account on the old site - you'll have one here. HOWEVER we could not move your passwords due to security, so you need to enter your e-mail address and click "Forgot Password" and a new temporary password will be sent to you. Use it to sign-in and create a new password that you'll remember or ...add Farthingales to your address book and put the new password in the "notes" section.

I hope you'll check the new website out soon and give me some feedback.

Looking for a corset that really fits?

Corsets are everywhere and some are incredibly affordable but you need to know that sometimes a deal is not a deal, and that is often the case with corsets. It's easy to find a corset for a Halloween costume but getting one that will realy shape you, hold you and support you is alot more of a challnge and if that's what you're looking for then having one custom made is the best option.

Farthingales offers tips on how to work with a corset maker and they have a list of corset makers as well. Check out the link below for more information.
