Our Review
Ever since we first saw Fiore tights they have offered great quality at very reasonable prices, as time has gone by they have added some great designs to their range without following the general upward trend of hosiery prices. So what about Graciana?
Sheer to waist tights with flat seams in the panty and T-band reinforcement, exactly what we expect from Fiore, much more than others offer at the same price. A cotton lined gusset too in the larger sizes for hygiene and comfort.
There is no shaping to the legs but for once this is a positive thing. The ankle motif is on one ankle only and the straight legs mean you get to choose which ankle to have the motif on. The motif is in the form of a fine ankle bracelet with a drop pendant, simply knitted in and highlighted with Lurex. The motif won’t stand up to close inspection but it catches the light nicely and will draw attention to your ankle.
Fiore say “invisibly reinforced toe” and they are correct these tights have a genuine sandal toe with no sign of reinforcement. Perfect with strappy shoes.
Sizing is spot on as far as weight and hip sizing is concerned but the length is quite generous, plenty of stretch. Fit is good throughout.
Our one tiny gripe was that there were a couple of knitting faults in our test pair that appear as tiny darker horizontal lines; just about forgivable on tights that otherwise offer so much for such a reasonable price.
