Getting Gertie's Garter...

I swear it's a movie... one I've never seen... yes I looked it up to find a good title for this post... shucks you figured me out!

Ha! I told you! Anyway... the hunt for the garter begins with my huge Etsy Obsession... I know it's unhealthy but bridal blogging has warped me into perfectionism mode. At first I didn't even want a garter, much less care what it looked like if I was forced into having one....

Stalking some bridal blogs I became curious as to what one of these lovies would look like...

All Flowered out and decked in sequins/rhinestones

Or Lacy with flowers and little bows

Or a little risque with burgundy satin

But then... I found it... The Garter. As in The Garter that goes with The Dress and  The Shoes...

But a hefty price tag of $69 + $12.50 s/h? Could I convince myself enough that this was The Garter to end all garters....You tell me! Does it feel like it was made in the same style as The Dress? Need a refresher?

Here's the gown, modeled by another not-me Bride. So what do you think? Is it worth the price tag of $81? Would I be remiss if I didn't buy it now?
