Garter Straps
Garter Straps, also known as suspender belts, are a type of lingerie accessory worn by women to hold up stockings. They consist of a narrow band of elastic or fabric that wraps around the waist and four straps that extend down to clip onto the tops of stockings. Garter straps were first introduced in the 18th century as a practical solution to keep stockings from falling down, but they have since evolved into a fashionable and erotic accessory. Garter straps come in a variety of styles and materials, ranging from simple and functional to ornate and decorative. They can be made from lace, satin, silk, or leather, and may feature bows, ribbons, or other embellishments. Some garter belts are designed to be worn as part of a matching lingerie set, while others are more utilitarian and meant to be hidden under clothing. Despite their popularity in lingerie and erotic fashion, garter straps have also been featured in mainstream fashion and popular culture. They have been worn by celebrities on the red carpet, featured in music videos and movies, and even inspired fashion trends. Garter straps are a versatile accessory that can add a touch of glamour and sensuality to any outfit.

Garter Straps
Garter Straps are an important drawing technique used in anime, manga and comic books to depict characters wearing attires around the legs, feet, and lower torso. They are used to draw clothing, boots, and costumes that look realistic to the viewers. Garter straps are typically drawn in such a way as to convincingly portray the clothing being slightly loose, but also cling to the character's body as if it is slightly pulled up. This gives the garments a realistic and dynamic appearance and adds to the overall character design.
