Garters

Garters....Do people still wear them?

Just looking on Debenhams website for a nice strapless/multiway bra to go under my dress, and came across Garters. It isn't something I had thought about, never mind want to wear! But it just got me thinking, do most people still wear one out of tradition?

    I had one, it was one of my "something blue" items. My bridesmaid gave it to me on the morning of my wedding along with a silver sixpence. I also gave a garter and sixpence to her on her wedding day (I was BM).

    Hi,
    I've just bought mine today funnily enough! i'd not really thought about it either but just saw them when I was out shopping! It guess it depends how you feel. I just thought it would be nice to hang on to a bit of tradition!
