OK... tossing out another question or two (sort of) to those of you out there with experience in this area....

This morning i tried on my first set of "boarded" stockings. The ones specifically designed to match the contour of the leg without any stretch, etc. i found them to be rather... umm... horrible and i'm not sure if it was just the brand or what. They were high quality, but they didn't feel right and did not shape to my leg to give it the look that i am getting so fond of. NO matter what i did they seemed to sag around the ankle and knee. What, if anything, could be done to prevent this?

Also, i have noticed that depending on the brand/etc. the stocking comes to different heights on my leg. Is there one more "standard" height that is should be at? Either they are so high up that the garter belt can't do it's job correctly, no matter how short i make the suspenders or they are so low that i feel that they are going to fall no matter how well the suspender works....

Any suggestions?
