garter belts

Hosiery suspension garments

A garter belt is a piece of women's underwear worn around the waist or hips, with hanging straps that attach to the tops of stockings to hold them up.

Before elastic-topped stockings and pantyhose became common in the mid-20th century, garter belts were everyday necessities.

Now they appear mainly as lingerie or in retro fashion: She wore a black lace garter belt with seamed stockings.
