Our Review

A small complaint to start. The back of the packet has full instructions on care from how to put these tights on (same as any other tights) to laundry instructions. Not a bad thing to put on a packet in this era where many younger women are not regular hosiery wearers, but having it there in place of a size chart is less then helpful.  Particularly as the sizing is an unusual “SMALL/MEDIUM”. 32”-40” hip covers a wide range and gives no indication of length. 

Elle Vertical Stripe Fashion Tights

n/a Denier, 86 % Nylon, 14 % Lycra, Price: £5.00

The tights themselves are quite nice, 15-20 denier sheer legs with 5 vertical stripes on each leg.  The legs are shaped at the heels and finished with reinforced toes.

The panty is in the boxer style and 30-40 denier.  The panty is finished with very good quality flat seams.  An unusual feature is the “full panel gusset”, more commonly described as a “comfort gusset” this is not really a gusset at all but a V shaped insert of the same weight at the rest of the panty.  The feature is unusual because it is normally found on extra large sizes.

As for sizing, this size is long enough for at most a 28” leg. Sizing would seem therefor to be in line with UK norms.  The colour on the leg is very even between the stripes stylishly lengthen the leg. Being 5 in number it is good to see that one stripe is positioned so that it can run neatly down the back of the leg like a classic seam.

Soft to the touch and quite durable these are tights we can recommend, that are rather let down by their packaging.
