M&S velvet touch tights - why do they keep creasing?

[ilovecherries]

Is there a magic trick to putting them on? I'd love these tights if I could only get them to sit right. I'm bang in the middle of the size and height for the size I'm wearing, and they font feel too big. I tried a size down, but they are too tight. But they are constantly in folds round my ankles and the back of my knees. It feels as if they are twisting somehow. Meanwhile, I look like Nora Batty.

I had the same problem with the same tights this morning. Had to nip out and buy a different pair.

Hm, that's annoying. I'm only just making forays back into skirt and dress wearing after a decade in trousers, and these would be perfect as my leg is a mess of surgical scars, and these cover them nicely, and also (I may be deluding myself here!) conceal the fact that my legs are very different shapes because of surgery.
