SO CLOSE to perfect! But not close enough...the search continues...
I need to emotionally prepare for this review because I have been on a long arduous search for the perfect pantyhose/tights for almost a year now to no avail, and these were SOOO CLOSE to being "the ones", but alas, they are not.
I am one of those rare creatures who wears dresses almost every single day and loves it. Therefore, I need pantyhose or tights, and no one on the planet makes what I want.
PROS - Fit: Let me be clear when I say that I am NOT interested in hosery that also doubles as shapewear. All of this control top nonsense is for the birds, because it doesn't make anyone look better, it just makes you look like you are shoved into a sausage casing. Yeah, you may have a little less of a pooch in front, but guess what? You are also flattening down the natural curves of your hips and butt, and I am not okay with that. I am also not okay with the open cheek varieties I see now because squeezing my posterior through a garment hole just makes me look like a busted can of biscuits. You can clearly see a line where your rump has freed itself from confinement, and tried to triumphantly escape back into the wild like Free Willy.
That's where this product was pretty much perfect. The fit is phenomenal, and not trying to pack you in like shapewear. Extremely comfortable!
PROS - Durability: Though I like the natural flesh look of some sheer pantyhose, I HATE the fragility of them. You never know when you're going to suffer a critical run. Sometimes pantyhose last a month, sometimes I don't even get them past my knees......you just gotta turn it up to Jesus. Therefore, I also look toward natural flesh colored tights, because they are more durable than pantyhose. These are definitely sturdy, but medium density as far as sheerness goes. My leg tattoo is almost completely invisible with these on, which I don't like, but that's the price you pay for durability.
CONS - What on Gods Green Earth is This Color?????? Whose flesh looks like this????? Could you please not use Jaundice models when deciding on a "flesh" tone to go with?? This is yellow, y'all. I do not know what possessed you. This color is so bad there are no words.
As much as I absolutely adored the fit, comfort, and durability, I refuse wear them. What. Is. This. Color???
I thought these were going to be the tights that replace the TWO lines of tights/pantyhose that I loved but got discontinued....but no...
Now, I'm just trying to pick up the pieces and move on with my life. I will find my perfect match....I won't give up....
