I just received a great looking pair of handwoven garter ties I found on Etsy. I've never worn traditional garters before and I'm wondering about the size of the new ties I have. The woven portion is 38" long plus an additional 3.5" of fringe on each end. The garters are 1.25" wide.
When I tie them on they make quite a bulge on the side of my calf and the fringe seems to hang down awful low. Should I trim the fringe? Did I buy garters from someone who didn't know what size to actually make them?
