For a woman to dream that she loses her garter, signifies that her lover will be jealous and suspicious of a handsomer person.

For a woman to dream that she is admiring beautiful jeweled garters on her limbs, denotes that she will be betrayed in her private movements, and her reputation will hang in the balance of public opinion.
