Pull up your tights as far as they'll go, taking care that there isn't any slack in the legs. At this point, they should be almost to your tits if they are the right size.
Pull the elastic belt up almost to the top of the tights, leaving enough room to flop the top of the tights over the belt. Then, roll the belt and tights down two or three times until the tights rest over your waist where you want them to stay.
>i just bought a pair of M. stevens footless tights. first off, let me say THANK YOU to everyone on the board who boasted about them... they are incredibly comfortable. only one problem... when dancing, the waist tends to migrate down so that they aren't sitting really tight to my crotch area. is this normal, or do you have to sew an elastic to the top to keep them up and taut? also, is there supposed to be a lot of material above the waist... i folded it over because it was too big.>thanks[/i]
