I have short legs myself so I also have problems with kilt hose being too long. For hose like the Lewis hose, I fold a bit over from down near the garter. I then fold the rest down over the first fold so that the pattern shows. I am careful to ensure that the whole thing is smooth and not lumpy looking. It seems to work for me.

So with the hose on and halfway up my thigh, sort of split the differnece between the bottom of the cuff and the top of the garter tie, and pull that midpoint down over the garter tie, then folt the cuff over so the pattern shows?
That would be one layer of hose under the garter tie and then three layers over the garter tie, correct?
