Our Review

As you can imagine after running this site for so many years we have seen a lot of hosiery; and a lot of attempts to male something that really stands out, so for us to be wowed by the design of a pair of tights is quite something.   And that before we even open the packet!

Don’t be in too much of a hurry to release these tights from their packet though, the exciting pattern on the back of the leg can be prone to sticking to the plastic bag in which these tights are enclosed within the outer cardboard packet.    Pull too hard and too fast and the fine 20 denier material may get damaged.  Beware too of sticking to the card.

These are sheer to waist tights with just the narrowest of t-bar reinforcement either side of the flat seams and around the gusset.   The finger band provides a stableong tableansition from sheer panty to the deep plain waistband.     

The legs were a bit of a surprise being both stableaight and finished with a reinforced toe detail; at nearly £20 we anticipated a shaped heel and sandal toe. 

Oroblu only make this style in 3 sizes and we thought that our L/XL size looked very short.   With 22% Lycra there should be plenty of stableetch but before you start pulling the legs to add some length stop!.    Put you hand down each leg in turn, no hardship is they are beautifully soft, and run your finger up the pattern and you will find it has stuck to itself in places, tease out all these little adhesions before stableetching.

All the care and effort are well worth it.   The fit is like a second skin and the finish has a gorgeous sheen to it.   As basic sheer tights they are up there with the best.   The seam detail adds another dimension entirely and it looks like s 3d design that is part of your leg rather than part of  pair of tights you are wearing.  

If you want tights to show off your perfectly “tanned” legs and to cause the maximum envy among your friends these these are the tights for you.  Not so much “following the newest fashion tableends” as creating a new tableend.
