Lady Sofia Samba T-Band Tights

20 Denier tights made with a fibre made up of 88% nylon and 12% Lycra.

Sheer to waist with T-band.

Our Review

We looked at the control top version of these tights a few years ago and revisited them again today.

These are the sheer to waist version.  The description “t-band” refers to the shape made by the finger band below the waistband and the narrow strips of heavier material either side of the seams in the panty.

The seams in the panty and around the unlined gusset are well made but not flat.

As we noted for the control top version sizing is a little curious in that it runs from III to VI, more or less equivalent to the European sizes 1-4.

Our test pair in this style is size IV, designed for a maximum height of 170cm or a maximum weight of 70kg.  More or less the same as a European size II, or UK Small/Medium.

This sheer to waist version feels much lighter in the leg than the control top version, indeed side by side examination shows that the knit of the legs is quite different. The toes are still reinforced but the toe detail comes further up the foot on these , covering even the longest toes.

There is masses of stretch in these tights so much so that a lady who normally wears a European size 4 could wear them comfortably.  Body length meant they were worn on the hips not the waist though. The fit was then excellent and the smooth and glossy look and feel delightful. Lady Sofia logo

Highly recommended
