I decided to try and knock off a garter belt. I had trouble finding anything online for a DIY, so drafted one using a previously worn out one kind of as a guide. I made a few modifications to it, and it turned out OK. the straps are shorter than alot of garter belt straps normally are, but they work for the situation (i actually had to cut them down in half to fit my wife properly). All in all, I’m pleased with the outcome. if I were to do it again, I think I would do some things differently, but for a first try, I don’t think it was too bad.
Stretch Nylon, lace, swimsuit elastic, elastic, garter clasps, hook and eyes, lingerie rings and sliders.
self drafted with help from a RTW.
