Crikey Aphrodite suspender belts were designed to answer two main problems.
Firstly, the lack of stylish, unusual suspender belts on the market that actually had the ability to hold up stockings.
Secondly, how to wear stockings with a corset (which are after all, the most practical option apart from the most aesthetically pleasing one) which is being worn over the clothes. Suspenders attached to a corset are stunning but no use if you wish to wear it over a skirt. In that case you need a separate belt, and how much more appealing to have one that matches your corset
Of course, you don't need a corset to wear a Crikey Aphrodite suspender belt. They look equally good with a bra or camisole.
