    Flashes / Garter ties help

    Hi all, I need a little help. Since I don't own any flashes and the only set of garter ties I have, I made myself. I was wondering how wide each is. I am trying to make a set of flashes to mach the kilt I just finished. (When I have flashes, pictures will be posted) I like the flashes that were made on the bias (sorry I don't remember who made them off the top of my head), and want to try to do that, all I need is dimentions please. Thank you all in advance.

    My flashes, that match my Hunting Fraser kilt, are six inches long and made of two strips, each one inch wide. I reckon the length is, somewhat, of a personal preference depending upon how much of your stocking top you tend to turn down.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers
