The bride's garter is an elastic band previously commonly used to support stockings. Now it has become an intimate element of a wedding dress. Therefore, modern garters are richly decorated with lace, ribbons, bows and artificial flowers. It is worn on the right leg just above the knee. You can sew the garter yourself, in this case you will get exactly what you want to wear, and not what is in the salon.
It is necessary
- Laces of different widths and patterns;
- Soft wide elastic band;
- Beads, ribbons, brooches, other jewelry.
Instructions
Step 1
Wrap the elastic around your thigh where the garter will tighten. Mark a comfortable length, mark with a pencil. Cut off with a small margin (1 cm on each side).
Step 2
Measure the length of the elastic on the lace ribbons and add 15-17 cm. Cut. Align the laces along the length of the elastic: first in the middle, then along the edges, pinning. In other places, gather to make waves. The best lace arrangement is wide at the top, narrow at the bottom. Baste while stretching the elastic.
Step 3
Sew the laces and the edges of the elastic using a typewriter.
Step 4
Sew on the jewelry in such a way that when the elastic is stretched, the thread on which it is held does not break.
