Capezio Women's Ultra Soft Transition Tight

True to size and correct ballet color. Held up well and didn't run most of the dance year. Held up to washing weekly and were not too thin

Good fitting tights for ballet!

These work so well, no runs after multiple wears

The media could not be loaded. I bought 4 colors because I couldn’t tell which shade would match me. I am not a dancer and had never been able to see swatches in store, so I am writing this, to help my fellow brown girls out. I have added photos and video in natural daylight.I wanted to try some skin tone tights that were better quality and closer to my skin color than what is available in normal stores around town. And I wanted some that were opaque to even out my skintone and keep me warm in my fall/winter outfits, when black tights didn't fit the vibe. So that’s what brought me here. I searched high and low for swatches and the photos I found, were not as helpful as I needed them to be. So I bought the following colors:Suntan- which has a pink undertoneToasted Almond- which is more goldenDark Suntan- is a touch darker than Toasted Almond but not as golden or warm toned, maybe more neutralMaple- which is darker than dark suntanSo out of all these colors, I am somewhere between Toasted Almond and Dark Suntan. Still not a perfect match but pretty close. The fit and quality of the tights are very good and I can tell they will last longer than average. They are opaque and very stretchy. They have a subtle shine from a distance. The tights are the same color through the entire length.I noticed some tights have a soft waist band and some have a thick elastic waistband; I prefer the soft one. I do appreciate that Capezio recognizes that we all come in a wide range of skin tones and they have tried to match as many of us as possible. I also like that they offer tights what don’t have to cover your toes or that have the hole under foot to easily slip your feet out of. This useful if I’m out shopping and want to try on sandals! I was able to get these on sale so I think the price is fair. They are worth a shot to try.Tip: if you’re testing to see if it’s your color, put them on all the way. It looks different when they are fully on vs just on your foot or up to the knee. Also helps to do so in the day time with natural lighting.

For reference, in bottoms I am usually a size small, 26, or 3. I weigh 115 lbs and am 5’1”.I ordered size small/medium in the color suntan.SIZE: I fit into the tights fine and it looked good. I would say It was super tight on the tummy and it squeezed my skin. It did give me difficulty with digesting whenever I ate while wearing the tights, but it was comfortable otherwise. That might be how fights should fit. I’m not too sure if the next size up (large/xlarge) would have fit me right, because it might be too loose.COLOR: I considered the light suntan color because of the reviews saying that suntan was too orange. I would say that suntan definitely does have an orange undertone, but I like that how it is similar to my skin tone, which is warm and brown. I purchased this for a ballet course in college. I personally feel the light suntan would be too pale for my legs.QUALITY: durable. I threw it in the washer and let it air dry, and the tights remained in good condition with no runs or holes.

I love them. I have bought hundreds of brands, and so far this has become my favorite. I don’t know why it has many bad reviews. I have a tattoo in my ancle, and I love how it hides it because the fabric has like double or triple layers.Just one BIG recommendation: DO NOT WASH ON Wash machine because it will take away layers like in the pictures I uploaded. I like to wash my Tights by hand, but accidentally I put them on the washer machine and it destroyed them.I bought more after trying the first one. They are comfortable, soft; and the best, they don’t make your skin itchy like other brands.I am 5’2” tall. I bought the smallest size, and fit me perfect. They have a hole in the sole of the foot, but it doesn’t bother nor feel when you walk.Estas son las mejores medias que he comprado. Las recomiendo 100%Son suaves y lo mejor es que no pican. Lo que me gusto mucho es que tienen como varias capas que cubren mucho más imperfecciones en la piel o tatuajes.Solo una recomendación: lávalas a mano, nunca en la lavadora o se van arruinar como la foto que subí.Yo mido 158 céntimetros, y las medias me quedaron perfectas; compre la talla chica.

Not a dancer. I just wear these tights because they're strong and last and don't run/rip as easy as normal ones.

I have 2 dancers and they don’t love these tights. They are good quality but the waist band isn’t very comfortable. One of my daughters struggles with some stomach issues and these really bother her. We prefer a cheaper brand with the softer waistband.
