Our Review

At first these tights look just like standard slightly glossy semi-sheer Gerbe tights.  No bad thing at all.

They feel delightfully smooth and soft in the hand, almost like stretchy silk.

When you open them out you notice that the shaped legs are decorated with a butterfly motif on the outside of each calf.  The motif is repeated above each shaped heel.

The waistband is the very high quality that we expect from Gerbe complete with Gerbe motif.

Gerbe Butterfly Tights

20 Denier, 86 % Nylon, 9 % Lycra, 4 % Polyester, 1 % Cotton, Price: €22.10

The panty is of the high leg style, with flat seams and a cotton lined gusset. This style is a great alternative to true sheer to waist as it allows the tights to be worn without underwear, but maintains the appearance of sheer to waist even with a very short skirt.

Fit is excellent and sizing is in line with the published size chart.  There is not much extra stretch so if you fall outside the chart we suggest you give these tights a miss.   That would be a pity because these tights feel lovely on the leg, and they have a satin lustre that is a pleasure to look at.

Not everything is perfection.  We were not convinced by black butterflies on beige tights, choose your colour combination carefully.  The invisible reinforced toes were beautifully made and clearly designed to last, sadly they are simply not invisible!

Lovely tights, but we would I think prefer them without the butterfly.  We will endeavour to identify and test the style they are based on.
