The term 'Stocking Supporter' is a job description for someone who wears a GARTER, which is a six-letter word. A GARTER is an elastic band worn around the leg to hold up stockings or socks. It is usually made of lace, silk, or other fabric and is often decorated with embroidery or jewels. Garters are traditionally associated with formal occasions such as weddings, but they can also be worn as part of everyday fashion.
