Just a caution -- check the size of the bride's leg 
and consider how much ruffling you want in the garter
before choosing the length needed.  Elizabeth may have
been making garters for ladies with slim legs or with
just a little ruffling.  The ones I've made have been
about 36 inches long.  Many of the young ladies in the
USA these days cannot be called slim.  In order to
have a ruffle,  more length than the circumference of
the leg is needed.  As long as people come in
different sizes, garter lace lengths will vary.
