Opaque pantyhose with plumeria lace side panel - pantyhose discontinued by Leg Avenue - review by Jul!a

These tights are a cute and unique way to add a little something extra to your outfit.

The packaging was typical of Leg Avenue, only the back had the nice pink stripes they've started doing recently. Picture of a model on the front, back has sizing info (One size), materials (100% Nylon), and care instructions (hand wash warm, drip dry). There's no tag on the pantyhose themselves but they don't seem like they're going to fall apart if you accidentally run them through with your regular wash.

These are similar to any pair of opaque black tights that you would wear, only these also feature a lace panel down the outside of each leg from the top of the waistband to the toes. Like most opaque stockings if you stretch them enough you can see through them, but unlike most opaque stockings these seem to stay pretty opaque while you're wearing them. The top portion is pretty tall, about 10" from the crotch to the top of the waistband. This will let you pull them up really high so that you can cut down on visible lines, or you can fold or push it down to wear them with something that's two pieces.

Holding these in my hands they really feel like something that I'm going to be able to keep for a long time. The solid part feels thick and sturdy and the lace does too. These will look better on longer legs, but they don't look ridiculous on shorter legs either. My legs are about 33" long and I did experience some bunching at the ankles but it wasn't super noticeable. My thighs are about 21 1/2" around or so at their largest, and there was definitely room for larger thighs here. They were comfortably tight on me; definitely didn't feel like they were strangling my legs, and definitely felt like there was room for taller and larger people to wear them as well.

These are a really neat way to add a unique touch to any outfit you'd wear tights with. They come out of shorts in a fashionable way, but also wouldn't look out of place with something a little nicer. The feet are a bit awkward though, because of the way the lace comes down the side. It's hard to feel like they're on right at first, but after a while that feeling goes away. They look cute with heels or flats, I wore them out with jean shorts and hi-tops.

Aside from a little bit of bunching from my height, I really love these tights. They were comfortable, didn't feel like they were going to suffocate my legs, and added a really cute accent to my outfit. They're thick and sturdy and would be great to wear in cooler months under skirts or dresses. When I stepped out of my room the first time I wore these out, my sister started yelling about how she was jealous that she couldn't pull off the tights under short jean shorts look. I'd definitely recommend them to anybody who's interested in them.
