Cecilia de RafaelCecilia De Rafael Sevilla Gloss Libero Seamless Tights

Low waist band is my only complaint. I would like it to be two inches higher. Still very nice product and sexy feeling.

These are definitely a must. They rival the "W" brand that charges nearly $50 for a seamless tight. These tights are flawless!

I was quite excited to receive these seamless, nearly sheer (yet glossy-appearing) tights. I had been searching for a long time for a happy medium that would still let me wear partially-open heels while also staying warm, especially for the early months of spring. I ordered (1) pair in Chocolat. Removing these tights from the package, I was a bit taken aback when they did not appear to be shiny; actually, the color of the tights appeared to be ashy/chalky. However, once I began to put them on, I became excited once again when the tights seemed to come fully into their shimmery-near-shininess and color richness (yet still remaining translucent) on my legs; the Chocolat color beautifully complemented my deep skin tone.Very disappointingly and unfortunately, my excitement ended a little higher than knee's length on the first leg that I began to wear the tights on. I do not know if it was a necessary evil of the tights' material needing to be thin to have a low-enough denier to meet the translucence requirement, but the first leg of the tights began to horribly rip. Even when I slowed to a practical standstill to continue to pull the first, and subsequently the second leg (I still had hope that the ripping wouldn't occur on the second leg!) up without further enlarging the rip/rips, my carefulness did not make much of a difference, much more actually stop more runs-turned-into-full-blown-rips from happening. Because all of the rips on both legs happened above the knee, and I was quite wedded to how invisible the invisible/“seamless” (there is a tiny seam present, instead of the typical seam running across the length of the toe box) toe was, I salvaged the tights for only one wear by sealing the ends of the rips with a clear nail-polish topcoat. To add insult to injury, the true seamlessness of the crotch area—a great prospect in theory—was initially super awkward to wear, because I had become so scared of ripping the tights beyond temporary repair that I wasn't able to make the tights' crotch flush with my own. Once I braved the peril of putting these tights on, rips and all, I did find that the low-riding (sat low on my torso, immediately under my belly button) waistband was the most comfortable waistband that I have ever encountered on any pair of tights and stockings...ever. This feature, the truly-invisible "seamless" toe, and the color richness and shimmery-ness, are what saved this product from a 1-star, preferably 0.5-star, rating. For a pair of quite-expensive to very-expensive tights (relative to where you fall on the price-point spectrum—if you rely upon drugstore tights and stockings, all the way to if you are blessedly accustomed to the Wolford+ levels of tights) to rip so badly on their first wear, even with delicate handling when putting them on, is highly disappointing, and equally unbelievable. This is in light of the fact that the product description/summary markets these tights as being exceptionally "resistant" (per the company website [remove spaces], at http:// www. ceciliaderafael. com/ en/ transparent-sheer-tights/ 57-sevilla. html), formulated with a "special lycra yarn" (here on Amazon). Following Amazon's size-chart/fit-expectation poll, I even sized up past my actual size per Cecilia de Rafael's sizing chart (here [just remove spaces]: http:// prettify. ch/ media/ catalog/ product/ cache/ 1/ sizechart/ 9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/ c/ e/ cecilia-de-rafael -sevilla-tights. jpg), which would have been a 3, to a 5, so it's unlikely a matter of the tights being too small. That being said, there are other reviewers that had a wear experience exactly opposite to my own bad one.The Takeaway:These tights were beautiful—before they began ripping awfully when I was trying to put them on. Proceed with caution if you do decide to buy these tights, and, if you have the urge to buy multiple pairs prior to testing a single one, resist this urge greatly. Personally, I wouldn't recommend purchasing these specific tights. I'm open to potentially trying other types of tights by Cecilia de Rafael, but only when they are priced much lower, to ease the sting of potentially wasting money and being left with only a pair of ripped, unwearable tights in hand.

Ordered these for Halloween costume. They are thicker than normal weight panty hose but not as thick as tights. Wore several times before wear and tear occurred. These were truly seamless and ideal for maximum exposure and control. Great sheen but also sheer enough to see my tattoos through.

It looks like your skin but shinier. Because of my shape the stocking didn't come easily over my bum but that's a measurement of 44" to overcome. Rethinking it I probably should have ordered a size up. The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is simply bcuz the waist band could have been stretchier.

im a man with a serious stocking fetish and THIS is a real review.....these stockings are as shiny and as hot as the picture depicts, the feel to the hand is quite pleasant but very slightly rough.ladies if you want your man to notice .... buy these....they really look and fit great!

Looks great against my skin tone

These are great quality, they feel great and they look amazing on my wife.

Die Strumpfhose schien irgendwie komplett wie eine Fehlkonstruktion. Einfach nicht zu gebrauchen. Meine Frau, die sonst neben Wolfords auch immer wieder günstige Strumpfhosen anzieht war entsetzt und hat direkt gefragt was das denn für ein schlechtes Produkt ist - nur in nicht so netten Worten.Die Strumpfhose ist wohl schlecht anzuziehen und sah viel zu klein aus.Klare Empfehlungen GEGEN einen Kauf.
