Rond, by Cloud

At right: Isabelline, Queen line. Ivory cotton, feathers and lace, smoke quartz pendant.

I am pleased to announce that I am now making and selling custom garters. My garters will soon be available with Emily West Lowry Designs; Emily designs magnificent feathered hair accessories, shoe clips, and jewelry, and creates custom bridal pieces, including birdcage veils.
Rond has several lines of garters: Empress, Queen, Duchess, Marquise, and Dame. At present, each garter is a wholly unique creation, but I am also able to craft sets if desired. Some garters are for very special occasions, but some are suitable for everyday wear. Some garters are the now-traditional elastic, but some come in pairs and tie with long ribbons.
Below are some of my current pieces, with their names and lines.















At left top: The Childlike Empress, Queen line. White satin, with pearl strands and a pearl and gold button.

This is amazing! I am envisioning some very lucky brides -- and grooms -- and onlookers at wedding dances. ;-)

Thanks, Sarah! I like to think about the onlookers at weddings, too, but also just any lady flashing a sneak peek :)
Kobe, they are garters for the thigh! Some of them are obi-style garters that you'd wear on each leg. Very fun.
