I hate these tights, and I don't use that word much.  These are the WORST tights ever! They only stretch in one direction (up) and are not made to fit big thighs.  They are horribly uncomfortable and HOT.  If you are built like Twiggy, maybe they will work for you.  I bought them for a party and they are a 1 time wear.  They are constructed like little girl tights.  Don't expect fancy modern lycra that actually fits your body.  These are more like 19th century technology tights.
