1. Turn your stocking inside out, and place your toe in as far as it will go.
2. Readjust the stocking by folding it back onto itself at the ankle and grab both sides of the folded stocking.
3. Pull up as far as you can.
4. Fold back the stocking again farther up on your leg, and pull the stocking up to that point. Repeat until the stocking is correctly placed.
