Friend Needs Help...

[FinalVestige79]

Would any of you kind ladies know where my friend could find corset bones in the San Diego area?

I've used plastic boning which can be found in any fabric store's notions section. It usually comes covered in fabric. As for real bones, which was used a long time ago for corsets and such, I have not seen those around. But hopefully the more experienced sewers here at the lounge could help you out more.

Two places to order from.

Farthingales ships very fast & they have excellent customer service. I order from them all the time.

ditto what Vanessa says. There's no corsetry stores in SD. Farthingales is the closest for steel bones, I believe. Just make sure you get the Los Angeles one, there's one in Canada, too.
Richard the Thread is ok, too.
