I am pleased to begin sharing some of my favorite resources for corsetry making and more. I want to start with the least expensive items first because corsetry is a hobby that can very quickly become an expensive venture. I know the prices of corset coutil tends towards $20 per yard for the good stuff and that does not include the price of shipping. I have personally been able to create my mockups with Carr Textile's fabrics and they fuse wonderfully to the silk charmeuse I have used in the past.
Carr Textile has some of the loveliest strongest fabrics around. I found them by happenstance at the textile show at the Javits Center sometime in 2017. I made fast friends with my supplier as current trade talks are making it more difficult to source inexpensive cotton. If you have been following the news about the trade talks between China and the US, then you have likely seen news stories about the increased tariffs on Textile products. Carr Textile is facing rising costs on tariffs, raw materials, chemicals, and transportation which affects a handful of Polyester and Nylon programs that will require a price increase effective July 13, 2019:Our Core programs of Poly/Cotton Twill, Cotton Twills, Canvas, and Poplins are not affected and we are able to pass along a price decrease on the 10oz Duck Program. THIS was news to my ears. I had to share this with other designers who need to source for production and small orders.
If you don't need more than a few yards cut and mailed then use this affiliate link and it'll be with you in days. For all of those who wish to make a larger quantity order over 50 yards you will need to go through the company directly to create an invoice. It is super easy and I had my roll of 50 yards delivered within a week.
