That is exactly what I've been looking for! I'd love to have traditional garters but I don't want to pay $24 per pair (the cheapest I've found them online). The price of this wool twill tape would let me have 3 different colored pairs of garters for that price.

What width of wool twill tape would be appropriate? I'm thinking 5/8" but I'm not exactly sure. Would 7/8" be too wide?

Also, if I buy this tape and make my own garters, what would be the best way to dress up the exposed ends? It kind of looks like all I'd need to do is perhaps run a stitch through the tape to bind it, then cut it about one inch below that and fray it out back to the stitch.
