Grasp center of heel pocket and turn stocking inside out to heel area.
Carefully position stocking over foot and heel. Be sure heel is centered in heel pocket.
Begin pulling body of stocking up around the ankle and calf. The stitch change (change in fabric sheerness) should fall between one to two inches below the bend of the knee.
As thigh portion of the stocking is applied, start rotating stocking inward so the gusset is centered over the femoral vein. The gusset is placed slightly towards the inside of the leg and the top band should rest in the gluteal fold (the line at the bottom of the buttocks). Smooth out any excess material keeping stitch change and gusset in place. Pull toe section forward to smooth ankle and instep to allow for toe comfort.
