What Are Garter Stockings?
Garter stockings are stockings that reach the mid-thigh level and have an elasticized band at the top to keep them in place. The band can vary in size from thin to a few inches high. The band is typically the most decorative part of the accessory and can help add a particular feel to the stockings as well. They are usually made of nylon but have some spandex in them for comfort, proper fit and can contribute to the ease of getting them on.
