A leg up

I have found it difficult to source tights that fit plus size especially as I have big hips and long legs. Pretty Polly XXL is usually a good fit, but sourcing them has been a problem.

I tried out a new site last week www.tightsplease.co.uk and they offer the PP XXL as well as a few other brands. I found the site easy to use and receive my order in 5 business days.

I wore a pair of Cette brand tights in the boutique on Saturday and they did not budge and were very comfy. The quality of this tight was felt in the material as it was almost silky to touch and had a small stretch that didn’t bag at the knees or ankles. Also I have noticed when I buy tights in Evans I have to stretch them to the length of my leg before I put them on whereas these tights were already quite long and when I put them on they had a slight stretch that fitted to my leg. The flesh color was very good and not too tan. Perfect for the fair Irish complexion! These were not inexpensive at 5.99GPB plus shipping but they didn't ladder on the first day or when I was taking them off.

It might be a bit chilly for fake tan bare legs and subtle tights is a good way to bare your leg. Check out www.tightsplease.co.uk and look under specialist tights.

Stay stylish!
