Garter black and white

The black and white garter is a ruffled band of white lace with a black lace center section, which you wear around your upper thigh.

On top is a shiny black bow with two hanging ribbons, making the contrast between the two colors immediately stand out above your knee. The band is designed for women and completes a French maid costume during carnival or at a theme party.

What layers is this garter made of?

• The outer edge is made of white lace that falls in loose ruffles around the band.
• Through the center runs a narrower strip of black lace, which gives the white edge a dark core.
• At the front is a black bow with two ribbons hanging down a little.
• You wear the band just above the knee or higher on your upper thigh, so that it remains visible under a short skirt.
• You receive one garter, without a skirt, stockings or other costume parts.

Why a garter belongs with the maid

A garter literally held up the stocking in the past, but at a party you wear it mainly as a visible decorative detail. Black and white are the colors of the classic French maid uniform, with the dark dress and the white apron, and that combination is reflected in miniature in this band. Because the white ruffles stick out on both sides, this model stands out more than a plain band. So choose it if you want the detail under your skirt to really be seen.

How to make the maid look recognizable

Wear the garter under a short, flared skirt, so that the lace edge appears just below the hem. A white apron and a lace headband on your head make the uniform immediately recognizable. With dark stockings or tights underneath and a feather duster in your hand, the whole image of the French maid is complete.

Order the black and white garter and give your maid outfit for carnival a playful detail above the knee.
