For or a beginner, this simple gesture that women made every day 50 years ago, can present a real headache. Answers to 5 classic questions to no longer take the lead.
1) Is the garter belt on the hips or on the waist?
A garter belt can also be worn at the waist for a retro look, or low waist for a more modern look. The effect on your figure will be different:
The garter belt worn at the high waist will tend to lengthen the legs and tighten the waist
The garter belt worn at the low waist will tend to lengthen the bust
So you choose, according to your tastes, your morphology, and the style of garter belt you wear!
2) Is the garter belt above or below the panties?
The big topic of debate ... Put on the panties then the garters belt gives a more elegant result, but may present some practical complications ... You will see that in most fashion photos, the models wear their garter belt above, but that is motivated by a desire to show the product. It is as you feel!
3) With which stockings should you wear garter belts?
Another big debate around stockings and garters: Can we wear stockings stay up (or low self-fixings) with garter belts? The question is screaming purists! Normally, a garter belt is worn with stockings for garter belts (or simply "classic stockings"). These stockings "special garter belt" are increasingly difficult to find on the market.
For my part, I find that it is not such a bad idea to set low stay-ups to a garter belt. This ensures a double security that allows wearing a garter belt lighter and more contemporary. The rendering is a little different compared to a low classic because the garter remains horizontal without stretching, which gives off a structured and modern look. But in this case we must be careful to buy self-fixing stockings with a very light silicone band, otherwise, it will be difficult to hang the garter!
4) How to put on stockings?
• You can either sit on the edge of a chair or stand up and rest your foot on it. Look for the position where you feel most comfortable.
• Remove your jewelry, watch your nails!
• Pick up the tip of your socks with your hand while rolling them, then gently place them on the tips of your feet
• Roll them slowly down the leg to the top of the thigh.
This is the most glamorous part, enjoy it because when it comes time to hang garters it will be another story...
5) How to fasten garter belt suspenders?
• Loosen the garters, you will re-adjust them after the assets all attached
• Start by hooking on the rear suspenders. Look for the position you are most comfortable with: sitting on the edge of a chair or standing with your foot on a chair.
• You must then wedge the bottom between the two parts of the suspender, bypassing the button, located on the bottom, in the catch, which is above the bottom.
• Adjust all the straps properly. The bottom and the garter must be stretched without pulling.
