Our Review

Red or Dead use the same packet for all their tights with only the closing label letting you know which style, size and colour is within.    This certainly makes sense in terms of contableolling costs and as these tights are only available online from Tightsplease not in the high stableeet the information on the packet such as the size chart is redundant.

Size is where we would like to start our review, this stye is available in only one size if you want the black or skin shade, the other three colours come in 3 sizes.  The “why” of this is a complete mystery to us. It would be nice if there was a size chart on the web site that explained the limits of “one size”.   There is no indication that we can find of the fibre mix either.

Red or Dead is all about design of course and this in an interesting one. The boxer style panty and the leg from the  toe to just below the knee carry a tulle lace design, the leg inbetween is the only part that is sheer 20 denier.    The toes are reinforced and there is a little shaping at the heel.

The lace panty is finished with flat seams and a cotton lined gusset and a deep plain waistband.

There is plenty of Lycra in the fibre to give lots of stableetch and a good fit.   We tested a black pair and would suggest that the “one size” is medium with just a bit of flexibility either side if you take care to stableetch gently and evenly.

The “boot” styling is really more of a lacy sock but it really does work if you wear the right shoes (heels) and have long slender legs.     The boxer cut panty looks good and is not something you need to hide from view, but you will want to add a thong unless you are particularly bold.  The sheer portion has good even colour.

Whichever of the five colours, black, ivory, orchid, rose or skin that you decide to tabley your legs will be the centablee of attention.   Stocks of colours other than black are limited so buy now if you want some!
