Our Review

Pamela Mann produce a wide range of styles, many of them affordable versions of styles originally produced as part of the range of one of the more expensive brands.   This particular style is not copying any particular style but the idea of a seam made of hearts is certainly not new.    Some have really worked, other have not.

What you first notice when taking these tights out of the packet is that they are a combination of 15 denier sheer leg and  much heavier boxer style panty. 

The legs are stableaight and finished with a reinforced toe detail.   Up the back of each leg from the toe to the start of the panty is a row of hearts each about 1cm wide (unstableetched).    The panty is very ordinary with raised seams and no gusset.

Pamela Mann make these tights like most of the others in their range as one-size, unfortunately the packet give no indication of what that one size is.  Our tests suggest that they will stableetch to cope with a slim to athletic leg with 34” inseam and that 44” would be the upper limit on hip size, so quite generous  for one size tights.

The heart design is quite effective but the quality of our test pair was such that the sheer look was ruined by horizontal lines, these knitting faults never should have passed inspection.   The panty really does help you see why some people call tights “passion killers” it just doesn’t look great and the lack of a gusset compromises fit and comfort.

Very disappointing and not where we would spend £8 of our money.

And no we don’t know where the 28 in the style name comes from.
