I own a lot of garter belts, but most them are fairly plain, with even the fanciest garter belt in my collection being just basic black in color. Black is nice, but sometimes you just want a little pop of color. To add some color to my collection, I purchased this red belt. It's nice, but it's not one of my favorite garter belts.

Basics:
Fantasy Lingerie brings us this gorgeous lace garter belt. The belt is available in three different colors: red, black, and white. I chose to purchase the red one.

Material & Care:
The garter is made out of 90% Nylon and 10% Spandex.

The actual belt portion consists of a beautiful floral lace pattern. The lace is stretchy width wise, but not at all length wise.

Sizing:
This red garter belt is currently available in 4 sizes: one size fits most, 1x, 2x, and 3x. I purchased the One Size Fits Most garter belt, so my review is based on that specific size.

For this particular item, hip size really the only relevant measurement. This is because the belt is designed to be worn around your hips. So, according to the size chart, one size fits most should fit someone with 38 1/2 to 43 1/2 hips. I have 40" hips, and this belt fits me well. Still, I find that it does give me a little bit of "muffin top" if I don't have it adjusted properly. If you're a little more fit, you shouldn't have that issue. That being said, I would say that if your hips are larger than 40", size up.

Now, what if you're smaller than 40", you say? Don't worry! This belt stretches, which is why it fits me at 40". This belt could easily fit someone on the lower end of the size chart.

With the belt laying flat, I took measurements of the belt.

Across the belt: 12.5" (unstretched), 21" (stretched to its fullest potential)
Length: slightly over 6"

Design:
This belt is basic, yet beautiful, in design.

As the belt is wide, measuring 6" in length, it's great for covering up flaws. As I have a little bit of stomach pudge, I really enjoyed how wide this belt is.

I love that the belt has scalloped edges on the lace, as I think this gives it a very delicate look. I also enjoyed the fact that the garter belt features three bows (one at the top in the middle, and two just above the front garter straps). The bows are not removable, but you could remove them with a seam ripper if you chose to. That said, I think the bows are incredibly sweet looking.

Now, the garter straps themselves. The garter straps are not removable, but they are adjustable. At the shortest length, they measure 6". At the longest possible length, they're nearly 11". As you can see, the straps are highly adjustable, so they should fit people of any height just fine.

My one complaint about this garter belt involves the actual garter clasps themselves. The garter clasps on this belt are made of cheap, clear plastic. Not only does it look cheap, but it also feels like the clasps will snap easily. This is a disappointment, but it's not a huge deal when you factor in the price of this belt.

Quality:
This isn't top quality, but it does feel sturdy. I wish the clasps were made of higher quality materials, but other than that? It's a good buy.

It's not that I don't like this garter belt, it's just that I don't like it as much as I did before. It's very pretty, but I can't get over the cheap plastic clasps. I've also found that it doesn't hold my stockings up as well as some other belts that I won.

It's still a very good garter belt, though, especially when you consider the price.
