First, gather the materials that you&#8217;ll need: elastic ribbon of your choice, suspender or garter clips, optional: bra closure and decoration.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Cut a piece of elastic ribbon that fits your waist. Take your time to measure the ribbon properly around your waist to the desired fit. If you are using a closure, sew that to the ends of the elastic ribbon. However, if you don&#8217;t have one, just sew the ends together using a sewing machine to reinforce the stitches. Make sure the sewn part or closure is positioned at the center of the back and pin the sides.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Next, cut 4 pieces of elastic ribbon using the measurements 2 x 30 cm and 2 x 27 cm with the longer pieces for the back and shorter pieces for the front.<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Sew a clip to one end of each piece of elastic ribbon. Now you want to sew the garters to the belt. Each garter is about 7.5 cm away from the side.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>After that, the basic garter is finished, but feel free to decorate your garters to make them look more fun. You can use ribbon bows, beads, sequins, studs to jazz things up, or just opt to keep them simple. The results are seriously chic, especially when styled under a pair of edgy distressed denim shorts. If you used thin elastic ribbon and garter clips, the final piece looks a little more delicate and sultry.<\/p>\n<p>Jen makes a great point, why wear suspender tights when you can create a cool, customized version for yourself? However you choose to style them, you can always add as an intriguing layer beneath a skater skirt or a pair or shorts.
