Garter Belt

Garter belt is a woman's undergarment consisting of an elastic piece of cloth worn around the waist to which garters are attached to hold up stockings. In British English they are also known as suspender belts.
The garter belt (known as the suspender belt in British English) was the vintage precursor to pantyhose. A return to retro styled garter belts and stockings has become especially popular due to the ultra feminine iconization of pin up girls of the past. Some fetish sites feature garter belts and stockings solely on their site. Once a forgotten and overlooked undergarment from the past, the popularity of garter belts and matching stockings have made a terrific comeback with most modern department stores selling a wide assortment.
