I don’t know anything about this site, but I googled “plus sized garte belts” and came up with this: [vavavoom!](http://www.hipsandcurves.com/plus-size-lingerie/garter-belts.htm) Hope it helps. ---

An encyclopedic book on tea, which is my new obsession. (I used a gift card I got for Christmas, though.) A laptop, but I didn’t really expect to get it for Christmas anyway, and I had planned it for a few months. ---
