Capezio Women's Hold & Stretch Footed Tight

These are excellent tights for dancing. The fabric is not too thin or too thick. They are very comfortable and do not itch. The caramel color is a perfect match for those with light to fair skin. Paired with caramel colored character shoes, the tights look very natural with my skin tone. The color looks nude when worn. I recommend that you follow the advice regarding sizing from other reviews. These tights run small. I am a petite woman and usually wear size small, but according to the sizing chart by weight and height for these tights, I ordered a size large; they fit perfectly. The tights did not sag or loose their hold after wear. They hold everything in place as the label Hold and Stretch says. These tights give a smooth appearance to garments worn over them. I highly recommend these tights. They are worth the money. I bought one pair and liked them so much I ordered two more pairs!

I love these tights! I have been looking for a tough pair of dance tights for a while now and these are it! They are thick and hold everything in place nicely, withstand crazy costumes and floor work. Very little shine so they don't stick out under stage lights. Good color choice, I got the Suntan, look very natural. Be aware they do run small. I'm 5'8" and 135lbs, my waiste is 24" and my hips range from 34-36" I normally wear a small/medium but after reading reviews I got the XL.They fit just fine. They do wonders for slimming the legs and thighs! I will absolutely order these again and I have already been recommending them to the other dancers I preform with. A bonus is that they are sturdy enough to wash with my regular laundry. I use a mesh bag to ensure they don't tangle with my clothes.

They fit great on the legs but the waistband is so tight, they just made my belly look bigger than it is from how much they dug into my skin and I managed to rip them at the crotch the very first time I wore them tonight. Forget sitting down and trying to eat in them. I couldn’t breather or digest. Super uncomfortable while driving as well. I bought them for stage and they didn’t even make it on it, I took them off for fear I wasn’t going to be able to breathe right to sing.

These Capezio's are the same quality as they always have been; they are thick and offer some warmth, making them my go to when I wear dresses as the weather cools, and when I still want that bare-leg look. I use to skate, and went through about 10 pairs a year, which is pretty impressive compared to similar dance-style tights that would need to replaced almost twice as often. The quality has not changed.Instead of skating now, I have two cats who love things attacking anything remotely toy-like, such as tights, as I am putting them on. These have held up well to them, though, having survived several direct claw attacks without running like regular spandex tights would. I bought three of these, in case a pair does succumb to my cats.The caramel color is lighter and more yellow than my skin tone (primarily peachy, tan in summer, fair in the winter), but they still look great and offer a more nude-look than the nude, which is more pink and white for my skin.As for fit, as many other reviewers mention, ignore the sizing stated in the description and size up one or two sizes. Though this is described as the women's size line, it is still very much the same sizing as the tights I wore in my skating days (when I was pre-pubescent and naturally thinner). The elastic around the waist is very snug and you should expect some pinching in, but I do not find it uncomfortable.Overall, I am very happy with these considering they are about the same price I pay for nude tights that run far more easily than these and they are relatively warm for fall to early winter days.

am usually a small but even a large is damn near impossible to get on. SIZE UP. and then size up again!!!!! but these are quality tights, despite the crazy sizing

I can wear short dresses again! I wore these with an Easter dress and they were opaque enough to almost totally cover the ugly bruises caused by my thin skin. I got lots of compliments. :) The drawback is that you can't see your pretty painted toenails, but I'll happily deal with that. I bought Suntan, and they looked natural with my skin tone. I'm a fair-skinned blonde but I tan easily (ergo, the thin skin). Based on other reviews, thankfully I ordered X-Large, and I typically wear a medium. The fit was snug, to be sure, but they stayed up nicely and did not give me a tummy ache. I have long, skinny legs (33" inseam), and the length was perfect. I have a rather skinny build (28" waist, 36" butt), so I'm not sure these would work for someone too much bigger around.
