I've lost the original email about the Garter so I'm replying generally. I wanted to remind people that a special pattern is not required. Any edging in the width desired can be used. There are a variety of versions of garters. One is just one strip of lace attached to a double thickness of ribbon with elastic inserted in the ribbon. The ribbon can be decorated with embroidery or tiny ribbon flowers, etc. A popular version has two strips of lace with the double ribbon and elastic between them. The key to a garter is the size. It's best to be able to measure the leg it's for. Make the garter a bit larger so it can be easier slid on and off. If it's a fitted gown, the garter can't have much bulk because it's not supposed to show through the gown. My computer is down so I have only a borrowed laptop that does strange things. I hope this message comes through normally. Somehow, on my screen, it has enlarged all the letters. I hope my new computer is ready soon.
