Our Review

Lace designs are right on trend for the current season, and as is typical of hosiery made very much for the current season the maker has decided to control costs by limiting the range of sizes.   The two sizes will , according to the size charts, fit anyone up to 5’9” (175cm) tall and up to 165lbs (75kg) in weight. The target market is unashamedly younger women of small to average height and weight.

Natural shades are very much in vogue so we were quite surprised to see that our test pair came in an ivory shade rather than a black or brown.

Construction is of good quality with flat seams in the panty and a cotton lined gusset.  The legs are made straight and are finished with a plain knit reinforced toe detail.

The open lace knit and the 12% Lycra provide for lots of stretch, enough to go well beyond the suggested maximum sizing, and the fit is very good too.   The lace design is very pretty and eye catching, it even works well in the Ivory shade so long as your legs are average to slim.    The Ivory colour would be highly suitable for wear by a bride at her wedding, although perhaps lacking some of the appeal of pure wedding hosiery.

All in all very attractive, well made and fashionable tights.
