Our Review

Helen needed some tights for the office so she bought a couple of pairs in this style to tide her over until she can find more of her favourite Falke Pure Matt.

There are two packet scans shown as the two pairs bought came in different packets.  

The pair in the packet above were a good fit and had a tag in the waistband, the packet from the pair on the left were quite tight at the top of the thigh and did not have a tag.

Clearly two production batches, quite possibly from two sources.

Sheer from the sandal toes to the high-leg style panty detail the legs are smooth and soft.

The panty is slightly disappointing having only a hint of patterning at the transition to the leg.  The seams are of good quality but not flat.  The cotton lined gusset aids fit and comfort.

Sizing is not overly generous in terms of length but the fit is very good.

For £3.00 these tights offer good value to compete with the major brands as everyday tights. A good near nude look for the summer.

Well so much for the value.  The pair that fit well developed a run on second wearing, and Helen is very gentle with her hosiery.  The more expensive Falke Pure Matt 20 Tights are pricier but much better value.
