🤍 Cottelli Collection – garter set with lace insert
From the Cottelli Collection we currently carry one item: the garter set with lace insert in white, with a rhinestone heart and decorative topstitching, made of 80 % polyester and 20 % elastane. The full selection is under lingerie for women.
👗 What belongs to a garter set
A garter set is more than a belt: it consists of the belt itself and the suspender straps attached to it, which hold the stockings. Unlike tights it leaves the thighs bare – that is the actual appeal and the reason this design has survived for decades.
🧵 Polyester with elastane
The elastane content is what lets the set adapt instead of slipping or cutting in. Polyester holds its shape and keeps its colour – with white that is no minor detail, because pale textiles otherwise go grey quickly.
How should a garter belt sit?
The belt sits at the waist or just below it, not on the hips. The straps run down without twisting and are adjusted so the stockings hold without pulling. If anything tightens as you sit down, the straps are too short.
Garter belt over or under the briefs?
Over is the practical option, because you can take the briefs off without unclipping the stockings. Under looks tidier. Both are right – the only question is which matters more that evening.
Which stockings go with it?
You do not need hold-ups here, that is what the garter belt is for. Classic stockings with a firm welt hold best in the clips; very fine sheer stockings slip through more easily.
How do I wash lace properly?
By hand in lukewarm water with a delicates detergent, or in a mesh bag on a gentle cycle. Not in the tumble dryer and do not wring it out – elastane loses its stretch that way. Lay it flat to dry rather than hanging it on a hanger.
What do I wear over it?
With white, every dark seam underneath shows, so it works best under something pale or under nothing at all. Matching tops and bodysuits are under lingerie tops for women.
What occasion suits white?
White with lace is the classic choice for a wedding and the wedding night, but it works just as well without an occasion. If you prefer something darker, the full selection is under lingerie.
What else belongs with it?
Matching briefs and stockings in the same colour family. What else there is and what to look for when buying is described in our article on lingerie in the erotic shop. More items are under lingerie bottoms for women.
Do the clips slip when sitting down?
Not if the straps are set correctly. The most common cause of slipping clips is adjusting them too tightly while standing: as you sit down the stocking rides up and the clip loses its grip. So set the length while sitting, not standing.
How do I keep white white?
Wash it separately, not in a drum with anything coloured, and not with pale grey either. Leave out the fabric softener – it settles on the fibres and makes white look dull and yellowish over time.
What do I do if the lace snags?
Take off rings and watches beforehand, and guide the lace over the palm of your hand rather than your fingertips as you put it on. Small pulled threads can be carefully drawn back from the inside, but never cut off – the spot then runs further.
How is it delivered?
Neutrally and discreetly. We ship in an unprinted box with no reference to the contents, and the sender details give nothing away either. Within Germany we deliver free of shipping costs, with no minimum order value.
