In 2005, I produced a cosplay photo shoot based on characters by Japanese artist Kakou Getuen. The characters were girls ("Mädchen") in maid uniforms which utilized Waffen-SS style insignia. Historically on Waffen-SS uniforms, the title was worn on the left sleeve. Getuen had them as garters, instead. The writing is called Sütterlin, which was the last of the German handwriting styles, and it was taught from 1915 and into the 1970s before fading away.

I designed the "garter-title" and turned over the draft to a company in New York who sold reproduction German WW2 insignia and they were able to make the custom title you see in the photograph. A safety pin was used to hold the garter in place, going through the garter itself and through the stocking top.
