@The_Compassionate_Heretic The kinds of garters that exist as bands that go around mid-thigh are, since so many people do the “toss the garter” thing. But after test-dancing and test-walking, they didn’t do the job well enough for holding the hose up. I’m not sure if the kind that belts around the waist, with the clips that hang down, are standard. Are they?? I haven’t checked under enough brides, I guess. Time to investigate… FOR SCIENCE.
Most hose these days have a gummy textured… print?.. at the top/inside of thigh highs, so that besides the elastic in the hose itself, they stay in place when combined with the kinds of garters that go around mid thigh. I bought the wrong kind though, they don’t have the stuff that sticks to skin, so they have to have a garter-belt.
But I’m not telling you anything you didn’t already know, amirite playa? Also, sorry for the question hijack.
@elijah I am seriously considering sneakers for the end of the night! I’ve got these 4.5’’ torture heels that look fantastic but really start to kill at the 2 hr mark. Also, good idea with the pockets, but I’m down to T minus 3 days and our seamstress is bogged down with prom requests. I didn’t think that one through. I might have one of my bridesmaid’s stash the booze if the thigh-holster doesn’t work. :)
It’s kinda sucky because our hall has a no hard-liquor policy. Their license is for beer, champagne, and wine only. Kinda flubbed that one. So liquor should probably be discreetly on our persons.
