[size=3][size=2]Here are some things that I've learned by trial and error after
using Vicky's "formula" for a few months.[/size] [/size]
1) It's good for 2-3 hours, but you need a real gaff with a stiff gusset for longer wear. I'm not a fabric expert, but I've been asking around.
2) Tights feel better than hose, but stockings stretch better. This is important because the "tube" piece of the stocking can make it hard to pull up the waistband. You need something that will stretch far enough to pull the waistband up over your hips.
Cutting the "tube" from as high up the leg as you can is good, even using the legs from the panty part if they're long enough to work for you.
3) You want the very largest pair of tights or pantyhose you can find –Queen, XXL, F, whatever. But DON'T use anything with a control top.
4) Wearing a pair of too-small panties over the gaff helps.
5) Sewing the gusset to the waistband at the four corners is helpful - except for those of us who are sewing-impaired!
