I don’t like these tights. Now, don’t get me wrong. These tights are absolutely fabulous. They are a really cute design that makes me think of the fifties. They are incredibly cheap so I just assumed I would be getting a one- or two-wear pair of tights. But for the price I was perfectly okay with that. I was shocked when I opened up the package, and instead found a really high-quality pair. They were quite thick, and stretched well without warping. These seemed like the kinds of tights I could wear for an entire season before they got snagged.

I also thought they were super cute. Just adorable. Except they weren’t cute on me.

Unfortunately, they didn't fit. These leggings were built for someone much taller than me. I put them on and was amazed by the slimming effects of the long line. And I looked so incredibly classy. I felt like Maggie Gyllenhaal in 'Secretary'. That was, until I finished putting them on. I went to pull them up and I just ended up pulling more and more. There was all this loose fabric around my calves and thighs. When I finally got them tight enough on my calves and legs, I realized I had miles and miles of fabric around my midsection. This was fine when I wore them with a loose fitting skirt, but the minute I tried to wear them with a skirt that was anywhere near fitted to my shape, you could see the lumps of the extra legging fabric.

I’m only 5’2 and about 110 pounds, so for most women, these tights will probably be fine. I, however, am on the smaller size of life, and found these tights weren’t tight enough on my shape. They were baggy and therefore were rendered pretty much useless. I ended up giving them to a family member, on whom they were much more flattering. If you’re very petite, I recommend you keep looking.

I gave these tights to someone, and they look absolutely fabulous on them. I just wish that they looked absolutely fabulous on ME. Grr.
