Members lxixboy Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Trying to find them for my girlfriend, Ive looked high and low and cant for the life of me figure out what these are called. My best guess was a garter, but when I look for those they are way too short. Apparently I'm retarded when it comes to womans clothes.Ideas??

Members Mikayla1 Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Or a boy short....depends on the place what they are called. Some do have garters attached, but this looks garter free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ladylove Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I believe this it a garter belt with detachable hooks. I'v seen some like these is very high end specialty stores and dept stores that have expensive lingerie. Not sure they carry them, but have tried VS or Fredrick's of hollywood?

Members sun_flower969 Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I found you those... Click on either one. It is called a "waist cincher" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CGEM Posted February 19, 2009 Members Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Interesting that they come with bones. Why would you need them in a bottom? Are they supposed to even the stretch from the garters all the way up to the waist?Am I being too technical on this? Well, that's just my way of keeping my mind off the unbelievably hot babe while working.EDIT: I guess they aren't bones - must be just strong seams.

I believe some of the more high end ones are stainless steel... Write that down! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same principal as in a dress or top with bones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eminatic Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 anything with boning in it is going to cost ALOT. (im not sure why, since boning itself isnt that expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(im not sure why, since boning itself isnt that expensive)actually it is. The bones aren't just put anywhere, they are place to lay in specific spots on the body; the length and width of the bones very from piece to piece, depending on size and what it's used for; in addition there is the extra labor that is figured into the cost of the garment.

Guest eminatic Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 my guess is its the labor involved. boning by itself, unassembled is not expensive. items WITH boning in them cost far more than the materials used. i work at a fabric store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
