    Ta-Dah!, you can then put your flashes/garter ties as you wish

    P.S don't go with the logo style hose there tourist style tat imo

    I hope this helps
    That is exactly how I do it with a very similar style of hose.

    rsvpiper's post is exactly what I meant by an "accordion" fold. Thanks for providing pictures to illustrate!

    You could always hang off a tree with some weights on your feet, this might stretch your legs for you

    I'm likely going to talk me mom into knitting me a pair of buying custom length.
    I drug out some I had left over from when I danced (rather briefly
    and can't figure out where or why I HAD kilt hose and dance socks NOR why they were SO long seeing as I have itty bitty legs.
    I think my mum hoarded some away from the older dancers thinking I'd stick with it but like fiddle lessons you can't make a 6 year old practice.
