Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Being 5'2" and 170 lbs, I was going to order a 3 but based on other reviews here, I decided to order a size up and get a 4 and I'm glad that I did! These tights fit like a dream. They're soft and stretchy and do a pretty good job at being opaque except in the obvious areas where you stretch them like the knees but they're wonderful all throughout. Putting them on, I thought that they might be small because the waistband was small but it stretches beautifully! The control top really does a good job of smoothing out my tummy and I've been sitting here for the past 5 hours and the waistband hasn't rolled down on me one bit. In my picture, you can see how much of my skin shows through the material after I've pulled it up just above my belly button (I'm 5'2") and it shows my waist being around 35.5" and fitting comfortably in these tights. Stretching out the waistband, you could probably fit in another 14" inches on the waist and butt maybe. If you're not sure what size to get, always order a size or two up from the size chart. Worst case scenario is that you'll have just a little bit darker shade of tights from the material not being stretched out all the time. Worked well for me! Would definitely buy this brand again!
