Our Review
These tights create a very good first impression, smooth and soft to the touch, cool and glossy on the outside and warm and soft on the inside. Well made with flat seams in the brief, a cotton lined gusset; sheer to waist for wear with all lengths of skirt and shorts.
Made in two sizes, S/M and M/L both for heights 5’3” to 5’10” , the smaller for hips 34” - 42” the larger for 42” - 48”. It is a little confusing that these sizes are larger than the Aristoc sizing for their Sensuous Seamfree Tights we also looked at today. The straight legs of these tights do look very long, in fact they were so long that they were too long to give a good fit on any of our ladies. That both sizes are supposedly sized for the same range of heights is a worry.
As the ultimate test of size we had our webmaster (6’5”, 16 stone, big feet.. well you get the picture) have a try of them. Even on his substantial frame the legs were some two unstretched inches longer than required.
The sizing is a great pity as the look and feel of these tights is gorgeous. They feel as though they would last all winter too they are so well made.
