Looks promising.</p> <p>Rae, have you managed to find patterned tights at the 99 cents store? If so.. wow! Although I think the 99 cents and dollar stores where you are are a lot better than the ones out here - at least the one my mom likes back home in Socal is amazing. Ones out here are pretty depressing.<br /> I do size up one size usually in tights, but maybe I should just buy the biggest size and see if that fixes the shading problem!</p> <p>Inge, thanks for the link... I see lots of brands I've never heard of before, and a lot of interesting possibilities! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recs-wanted-for-sheer-patterned-tights#post-594755 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 22:27:21 +0000 Inge 594755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've found fun ones on this website in the past:<br /> <a href="http://www.mytights.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.mytights.com</a></p> <p>They ship to the US (flat rate $ 5.95).</p> <p>I like the Emilio Cavallini brand, the hosiery is not too expensive and the quality is very decent.<br /> They also sell Falke, an excellent brand with quality hosiery. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recs-wanted-for-sheer-patterned-tights#post-594712 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 21:17:19 +0000 rae 594712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dunno... I was hoping to find more recs here, too. I buy mine from the 99 Cents store, since I run through them like crazy, same as you. I did discover that I can wear Queen size hosiery just fine, even though I'm usually size A-B. This could possibly the "shading" issue you mentioned, since the fabric wouldn't be as stretched out over the wider bits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recs-wanted-for-sheer-patterned-tights#post-594631 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:32:11 +0000 Tanya 594631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have had good luck with Express ones, such as :</p> <p><a href="http://www.express.com/diamond-texture-full-tights-38472-39/control/page/3/show/3/index.pro" rel="nofollow">http://www.express.com/diamond...../index.pro</a></p> <p>They are also currently on "buy one, get one 50 % off" promo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/recs-wanted-for-sheer-patterned-tights#post-594624 Thu, 12 Apr 2012 19:26:42 +0000 Diana 594624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The patterned tights I am wearing right now (sheer black w/ opaque black rose pattern) are driving me nuts! They are simultaneously too long (in the rise) and too short (in the leg) plus they are constricting in the thighs and saggy in the crotch. I can't wait to go home and take them off. =P </p> <p>Anyway, was wondering whether anyone had any recs for comfy patterned tights that are relatively inexpensive (since I ruin hosiery, especially sheers, at an alarming rate). I usually size up in hosiery since I have long legs and a big butt/thighs but even so, I would like something very stretchy and comfy (I find patterned tights tend to be less stretchy than plain ones for some reason...) =P </p> <p>Something like this, but cheaper:<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wolford-diamant-tights/3224852?origin=category&#038;resultback=1264" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/wo.....tback=1264</a></p> <p>And a related question: Is there any way to get rid of the thing that happens where sheer tights appear darker/more opaque on one's skinnier bits than one's wider bits? It drives me nuts particularly the contrast between ankles and calves. </p>
