    Great question! I think I was planning on wearing it on my right leg, but I don't know the 'traditional' side.

    OTT's right. The tradition was that a garter was warn on both legs... to actually hold up stockings. lol

    I don't think it matters now. I wore mine on my right just because that's where I put it Smiley smile whatever your comfortable with.

    I'm thinking mine will go on my right, too. I'm worried about it being uncomfortable!

    Good question. I had never given it much thought.

    I'll probably wear mine on my right.

    @mrscountrylace: I like your thinking! lol

    Viva- I'm with you, left leg. I'm left handed maybe that's why i feel like lifting my left leg would be easier? lol
