Our Review

This design differs from most of the Winter collection from Red or Dead in that the colours available are black, grey, prune and white... the petrol blue included for other styles is omitted. The web site calls the grey “light grey” but it is not that light.  The sizing appears a little different too as there are three sizes, small, medium and large. Stacey is modelling a pair in black for us.

The styling is very eye-catching, the back of the leg is a fine voile (very fine fishnet) and the front is sheer, the denier refers to the back of the leg, the front being more 15 denier.  Between the two weights is a scalloped edge.  The weight of the back of the leg is continued in a deep band below the waistband which gains a floral lace design in this area.  The seams in the panty are flat, and there is a cotton lined gusset, details missing from some of the Red or Dead range and a welcome inclusion here. 

The legs are unshaped and the sheer front continues all the way to the reinforced toe detail.

A number of companies have attempted a dual weight tight this season but this is the design that we thinks works best.  The sheer gloss finish front and matt net back contrast beautifully, the scalloped edge between the two is a classy touch and much easier to wear than a straight line because minor wiggles are disguised.

Sizing is accurate and the stretch is generous, even the medium size could be stretched to fit someone for whom large should be the correct size.  The quality is such that we never felt the fabric would fail.

Far and a way the best of the Red or Dead range so far, highly recommended.
