Our Review

A note on sizing...  The Aristoc Bodytoners range is sized quite differently to regular tights.  All sizes are designed for heights 4-10” to 5’10” with only your hip measurement/dress size determining the size you require.  You may find that although you normally wear large tights you can wear the small/medium in this range.

These are the Aristoc Bodytoner Tights that most closely follow the “normal” design for control top hosiery.  There is a heavy boxer style brief (low leg panty) that has flat seams, a small cotton lined gusset and a v-shaped tummy control panel.

The legs, which are shaped at the heel and finished with a sandal toe, are sheer and provide graduated compression.

We tested a small/medium pair on a tall model...  At first glance there seemed no way that these tiny tights could fit someone of 4’10” never mind 5’10” but with careful stretching they did.  The size chart is accurate.

The control top does its job well, without feeling restrictive and the graduated compression is soothing on the legs.  The fit is excellent and the look on the legs is gorgeous. Control hosiery is just not meant to look and feel so soft, smooth and silky.

Even in you don’t need the control top you should consider buying these tights just for their look and feel on the legs.
