When this arrived it was stretched over a piece of cardboard which was in a little plastic bag. The packaging was what I would expect.

It is white and black as shown in the images. It also has a little rhinestone attached to it for extra bling. Overall this is very simple and eloquent. It does stretch, I think it will stretch enough to fit most woman's legs if worn just above the knee. Though I doubt this will fit very well much higher on most people's legs.

I found no flaws in its construction, which is inline with my expectations from a piece by Coquette.

It is suggested for hand wash and air dry. Though this is a piece that I do not expect to need to wash much. I got this to wear on my wedding day and only expect to have it on for a few hours and most likely will not wear it again afterwards. If you really wanted to I think it could be machine washed but I would exercise cation if doing so, place it in a lingerie bag and preferably nothing else in the machine. Though I would not try to put it in the dryer, doing so might damage the elastic. As suggested I think it is best to air dry it. I know the colors are not that of a traditional wedding but I'm not concerned about that in the least bit because I'm only having a small wedding and there will be none of the traditional wedding activities.

In my opinion this would look best if worn under a dress or skirt, something that has some body to it.

I have no complaints about this garter, it is what I expected it to be. It is very simple and will work for most things I think.
