Our Review

First impressions are very good, these tights look and feel great as you take them on the card, smooth, soft and yet strong.

The good impressions continue under more detailed examination the toes have a well finished seam and there is the smallest of reinforced toes, the legs are unshaped.  It is in the panty that these tights are a little different; the flat seams and cotton gusset are well made and there is a narrow reinforced strip giving strength ether side of the seam, the real difference is in the waistband which is only 1 cm deep.  Below the waistband is a 6cm deep finger band, although on these tights it should perhaps be called a hip band as the “model top” design is intended to sit on the hips and it is this band rather than the waistband that holds them in place.

There are six sizes so regardless of your height and weight there should be size perfect for you.  Sizing is accurate but not overly generous, fit is excellent.  The perfectly even colour together with the satin finish makes for a very flattering look.

Our one gripe was an asymmetry of the reinforced areas either side of the seams, it didn’t spoil the fit or the look on the leg but it let down the overall feeling of quality.

The hipster “model top” really does work with current fashions, and unlike other hipsters it is comfortable to wear.
