I was super excited to try snag tights. I'd read reviews and recommendations that they Re true to size. The models are a range of body types and I saw similar women of my size wearing the tights.
I am a size 20-22 and 5'3. I have a large tummy, small bum and thin legs. I ordered F short and started with 2x120d and 1x80d black tights. The quality was lovely, thick, soft and there was a lot of stretch.
But this is where the problem lies. There is too much stretch. Considering I ordered short and true to size, I was pretty surprised that there was so much material gathering around my knees and ankles. I could live with that if the tights didn't roll down so much. Walking any distance, the tights just fall down.
I thought, perhaps this is vanity sizing and ordered two more pairs in an E, vanilla marshmallow and milk bottle. But I had exactly the same problem. Gathering of material, and the rolling down. Its super embarrassing losing your tights in the middle of work or a social event!
Would I recommend? Possibly. I know others have not had this experience, but for me, trying the two sizes around my actual size, spending upwards of £60 and it not working out, is quite frustrating.
