How to Attach Hosiery to Garters

Body shapers with garters allow you to create a flattering silhouette. These attached garters allow you to connect your thigh high stockings to create a sexy edge to any dress. Fortunately, if secured correctly, these garters hold your hosiery without added visible lines. 


  1. Step into your body shaper and ensure that it is properly positioned into place. If you are wearing a body shaper with bustier, ensure that your straps fit comfortably and that all of your hooks are secured. 

  2. Place the toe section of one of your thigh high stocking over your toes. Carefully begin to pull the thigh high stocking over your foot without snagging. Begin pulling this stocking up your calf. Grab the banding around the top of your thigh high stocking and pull it up your thigh. 

  3. Open the garters for the leg that you just placed your thigh high stocking onto and position the front garter in the middle of your thigh. 

  4. Push the back portion of this garter underneath the front portion of your thigh high stocking. 

  5. Push the back of this garter against your thigh high stocking without snagging or tearing the stocking. 

  6. Position the front portion of this garter so that you can line up the bottom section and your thigh high stocking through the opening. Slide the connector through the opening of the front section of this garter. 

  7. Pull up on the top of the garter to secure the connector through the front section of the garter. Repeat steps three through seven for the back portion of this garter. 

  8. Repeat steps two through seven for your other leg.
