    I've been looking on ebay for garters - but most of them seem to be one size. Has anyone seen or bought a garter that is a size bigger (I'm around 16/18 dress size but just know that 'one size' will be too tight)?

    Any help appreciated.

    I got mine from ebay if you search personalised garters they do some lovely ones and they can make them a little bigger. I have a picture in my profile.The "average" is 22" but the can add or remove elastic as required. xx

    I've put a link on your wall hopefully it will help, i think the lowest price was £15 but they are pretty and you choose your leg width so you don't run the risk of it being two big and falling down during the first dance

    Thanks everyone. Fruity I like the idea of sewing two together (a lot of them are cheap enough).
    Spooney - I'd forgot about the member on here making them, thanks.
    Just looking at some of the links now...nice to know there's a lot of 'real' women on here lol.

    Hi i am having the same problem but my mum came up with the idea of making mine as they are really simple to make and then will be the perfect fit and i think it makes it that bit more special becuase its hand made x
