Our Review

What the packet notes are meant to mean is anybody’s guess, you would almost guess they were translated from Bulgarian to English via another language.

What we can see is that these are 20 denier tights with 18% Lycra.  They come in sizes 1 to 4 and then XL, the XL size having a rear panel

Construction is a boxer style panty with straight sheer legs.  The seams are double stitched but not flat.  There is a circular gusset, which in the case of out test pair was in a contrasting colour, black in barely black tights.

Sizing seems generous, our test pair are size 2, up to 65kg and 168cm.  One of our tallest testers tried these tights and found they fit perfectly on the legs.

Fit in the panty area was unusual, these tights are made very short so that you can really only wear them as hipsters. The circular gusset seems to give a better fit that the more usual “eye shape” gusset. 

The finish on the leg is smooth and glossy. The “semi-mat” in the description seems to be a mistranslation as the Italian notes say “semiopaco”, meaning semi-opaque. 

Very nice tights indeed if you are not looking for sheer to waist or sandal toe.
