There was a package waiting for me from a friend who knew I was looking for hosiery and found a pair of striped tweed-look Givenchy tights for $3 at Marshalls and bought them for me!</p> <p>The twisting on these was odd. I could not untwist them because they twisted the wrong way. I can't explain it well. But that is why I suspected perhaps I had them on backwards. Either way, the hole is unacceptable. I'd rather get something else with my gift card! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118615 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 22:51:05 +0000 Dashrashi 118615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had trouble with the twisted leg on vertical-patterned stockings before. It's usually my fault, and enough effort to put them on perfectly straight tends to resolve the problem. The rip sounds like a product flaw, though. I'd try to take them back, at least for an exchange. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118605 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 21:52:20 +0000 rae 118605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Run = take them back. </p> <p>As for the twisting, I seem to always end up with twists and wiggles at first when I put on tights with vertical stripes. I just have to make sure I have time to adjust these before going out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118596 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 20:58:14 +0000 marianna 118596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely try to get a refund! I would! That's too much money to simply throw away!</p> <p>Surprisingly enough, my cheap Target hose has been the best hose I've ever tried. Multiple wears and no problems. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118526 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:12:57 +0000 chewyspaghetti 118526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Even if the twist isn't a flaw- they ran before you ever even wore them out. I'd take them back for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118525 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:02:38 +0000 Anonymous 118525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hose may have been flawed. You may have to exchange rather than get a refund, but at least you could give them another try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118502 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:11:22 +0000 JennyK (NC) 118502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely take them back. I bought a pair of hose a few months ago that were a lucious burgandy color and had a beautiful pattern on them. Also not cheap! The first time I tried to put them on, the color rubbed off all over my hands and legs! I was furious because I had to re-think my outfit at the last second, PLUS try to get the dye off of me so as not to ruin my clothes. All of this when I haven't an extra second to spare in the mornings.</p> <p>I tried not to act *too* indignant when I returned them. I just explained that the dye ran and I wanted to return them. No problem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118500 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 14:00:53 +0000 Kari 118500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd ask for sure if they would exchange them - it wouldn't hurt. I'm not sure how Macy's treats their hoisery return policy, but once I took a pair of cute sheer patterned trouser socks back to Nordstrom because I found a hole in them as soon as I removed them from the package, and they gave me another pair without question. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118495 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:50:40 +0000 Debora 118495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, poor Maya! Please try to take them back and speak to customer service about them! I know how excited you were to spend that gift card on nice hosiery. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118488 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:34:31 +0000 Queen Mum 118488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>can't hurt to try to take them back... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-hose-defective-or-is-it-my-fault#post-118487 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 13:33:14 +0000 Maya 118487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a bit ticked off today!</p> <p>I wore my DK lace chain stripe hose for the first time today, or at least tried to. When I first brought it home, I only pulled it on one leg to see how it looked and I loved it. Today however when I put it on both legs, the right leg was all twisted so the stripes were straight on one leg and spiraling on the other. I had to just take them off and wear a different pair because I didn't have time to figure it out. I thought perhaps I had them on backwards though I don't think that should have made a difference and there wasn't even a label to indicate which side was "right". </p> <p>I could go home and investigate further but somewhere along the line I managed to get a huge hole in them. They were the most expensive tights I got that day though so I feel like that shouldn't have hapened just from putting them on! Do you think I could get a refund? I got them at Macys with a gift card and they absorbed $20 of the $30 I had. </p> <p>Hosiery is so frustrating! I'm ready to throw in the towel and just go back to my boring opaques. </p>
