We don't know yet. It's too wear under my daughter's wedding gown to hold up the thigh highs. She's 22 and didn't understand this garment. I think her fiance may have a heart attack when he climbs under her huge hoop to get the garter. My daughter actually thought the garter was to hold the hose up.. "How will they stay up? Do I need 2 garters?" The hose should stay up by themselves but this will make it sexier.  She hasn't had it on yet, but she thinks it looks old timey. I think it's perfect. I'm sure she'll love it once she sees it on. I love that it can be adjusted if necessary.
