Neck-ring Defined The neck-ring halter, or a collared halter, is a soutien-gorge which surrounds the neck and then supports the front of the garment from the front of the neck (MM4720). The neck-ring is a halter in that, topologically, it has a strap around the neck. But the neck-ring differs from a normal halter in that in a normal halter provides a triangle of support from the center of the neck to the top of the breasts, whereas the neck-ring supports from the front center. Variations of Design Several different methods exist to support the front of the neck-ring haler. These include steel rings, strings and cords (WG7306), and cloth. The neck ring may be quite narrow or it may have a lot more substance. Leather halters play a role in fetish attire, and similar silhouettes appear in swimwear. The neck-ring is sometimes confused with the criss-cross halter; see the discussion on that page to clarify the distinction. |
