Garters
Tossing of the garter or "flinging the
stocking," as it was known, has its roots beginning around the 14th or 15th century
in an old English ceremony. It is said to bring much good luck to the
recipient. Continue the tradition with a garter created just
the way you like it. Styles range from traditional to fun and flirty.
You choose the options to make your garter
unique. Add your monogram, wedding date, a charm,
crystal buckle or sparkles to make your garter your own. Make your ideas come to life.

Garter Sizing
All sizes are approximations
as each garter is handcrafted and can vary
slightly.
Average size

comfortably to approximately 20-21” around. We
recommend moving up to a plus size garter for comfort if you are close to the
top range of these measurements.
Plus size
garters measure about 16-17" around and will stretch comfortably to
approximately 26-27” around. If you need a special size, we are happy assist
you with making a garter that stretches comfortably to your size. Simply select
“other” when choosing your size and indicate measurement required in note field.
Your garter should be perfectly
sized and comfortable. Be sure to choose the size that will fit you best.
Traditionally, the garter is worn about 3 inches above the knee. It should feel
soft and snug but not overly tight.
