@Danicia, aw, yay! They’re a great tight for sure and my driving inspiration behind doing a post soon on dying nylon. If you can dye nylon, you could make black and ANY colour stripes from the Black & White version of these!

Yay! I love these tights. I have a very hard time with “plus” size tights, but found these 3x-3x perfect for my big bubble butt. I’ve got the red/black and the purple/black and couldn’t be happier with them.

Much like Lady Lynnie, I might just give the 1x-2x a try in this brand, because the larger size is very roomy!

@Lady Lynnie, that is so awesome! Yay for finding things that fit! My next plan is to get a pair of the Black & White and see how they take dye. They’re 50/50 nylon/polyester, so I don’t quite know how vibrant I’ll be able to get them, but it opens up a world of colours!

I thought I’d need a 3-4x, but when i got them I found way more wiggle room than I intended! I’m pretty much in love with them, and now I know that I can get them in the 1-2x!

@Natacha, for real! I don’t even know what my modern dress size is, I’ve long since given up having a “number”. But I know my measurments!

These are by far the best tights I own for colourful fun and so comfortable to wear… The real person sizing really helps as generally sizing i.e. 20 / 22 varies from company to company

@KittyBlue, we agree! We’re trying to update older Sizing Tips that just list the weight/height that the packaging says, but it takes time with this many socks and tights! Weight doesn’t mean a thing, since you can carry it any place, in a million different shapes!

When it comes to sizing tights, the best info to know is your inseam, waist/hip and thigh circumfrence. With those numbers we can help you better to find what will fit right for you!

This is the kind of information I LOVE to see! I’m taller, but curvy through hips and thighs, so I find that the usual “one size” description may tell me I weigh the ‘right’ amount, but heaven help me if things run at all small!

Thank you for such an extensive comparison!
