Choosing Your Wedding Garter Style
 I'll guide you through making the right choice to suit your wedding dress, starting with garter style and then the size you'll need |
First, what style of dress will you be wearing?

| Styles of Garter... |
At Silk Garters I have three different ways of making your garter. Your garter can be:
|
| Garters elasticated all the way around with gathers... This is our most popular style of garter with elastic encased with silk/satin and lace for comfort, pictured left is the ivory silk ruffle wedding garter, loved by the 'Love My Dress' wedding blog. This is the traditional way of making wedding garters These garters can stretch to almost twice their size but are designed to be ruffled. |
| Garters with a flat front This is how most of our personalised garters are made... Although the garters that are gathered all the way around, can also have some of the gathers moved to the back, to give a flat appearance at the front. Designing it like this makes it more comfortable to wear than a flat panel with no stretch. These garters usually stretch to a third more than their size and are designed to have ruffles at the back. |
Flat Garters
These garters are designed particularly for the bride wearing a slim fitting dress. The fabric is just 2" (5cm) larger than your leg measurement, then elasticated for comfort. Depending on your leg measurement, it may have a couple of gathers right at the back.
