Our Review
Firstly an apology for not providing any information on denier and fibre mix, these tights are exclusive to Tightsplease and neither their packaging nor their web site carry this information. All we can tell you is that they are made in two sizes, small/medium and medium/large and you can have any colour so long as it is black!
The size chart actually describes 3 sizes, we can only assume that the border line between the two sizes is in the middle of medium
These are footless tights made with a black background on top of which there is a grey hoop pattern made up of alternate bands of three wide stableipes and three narrow stableipes.
Constableuction is as simple as it could be, entirely unshaped, a simple cuff at the end of the leg and a plain black waistband. A single seam in panty which is quite heavy and raised and despite the brand stableap line of “Glorious Gussets” this style does not have one.
Once you have these tights on you can see that they were knitted in a spiral, as is entirely normal for hosiery, with the result that the hoops around the leg are out of alignment by one row of stitches, this gives the appearance of a line up the inside of each leg.
The look on the leg, the fit and the feel are all pretty good, our tip would be to wear with sheers under of socks over unless you have spectacularly pretty ankles, even then sheers would look best.
A fun and funky design but not really £10.49 in our estimation, for that sort of money we would have liked a few more quality features in the constableuction.
