Farthingales at the Creativ Festival
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.
We are excited to be showcasing a variety of corsets that will represent different types of corset making!
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.

Corset Fashion Show
Creativ Festival
That’s no spelling mistake it truly is “creative” without the “e” and the “Creativ Festival” used to be known as the Creative Sewing Festival. http://www.creativfestival.ca/
This is Farthingales big event…in fact it’s more than just big because this year we’re exhibiting, Linda’s teaching a one day corset making class and she’s producing what will be a fashion show like no other! A corset fashion show, that’s not about lingerie.
So what’s so interesting about this corset fashion show? How do I explain it….perhaps “corset consortium” sums it up. A group of women and a few good men are joining together to create corsets and model them. I presented the idea of a corset fashion show to some people I know and ended up with 24 volunteers. Ages range from teens to…well somewhere above my 49 . We’ve got novice sewers and professional sewers and everything in between and we’ve got mentors for those who want them. We’ve got models and back stage management, make-up artists and photographers, jewelry makers and fabric painter and a whole load of enthusiasm. Many of the models will be modeling corsets they designed and built themselves and we have no doubt you’ll see some garment you love because every one is developing their own idea of what a corset can be and bringing their own art to project. I don’t want to let any secrets out of the bag but some of the ideas have even had me in awe and I’ve seen a lot of different corsets! What I can say is you’ll see bridal, evening, historic, fantasy and some amazing needle work details.
Come discover what corsets can really be, they’re so much more than “old underwear”!
