Our Review

When we reviewed the Teint Magique Tights from Le Bourget we had to estimate the denier as there was no information on the packet... once again out friends in France have omitted this detail.  Our estimate is that these lightweight summer hold ups are 7-10 denier.

They really are the most simple of stockings, straight legged and finished with a sandal toe.  Only at the top do they become interesting with a 6cm deep lace top that has two wide silicone bands to grip your leg.

There are four sizes to suit heights and weights up to 6’1” (185cm) and 83 kg (184lb) Stacey models size 3 for us.  Unless you have exceptionally long or large legs then size 3 should be big enough for anyone, there is simply masses of stretch.

Fit is excellent and the hold up top really does work, just make sure sure that your skin is clean and free of oils, lotions and powders.

Colour is perfectly even and if you have the right shade you will get a cosmetic/bare leg look.  There is just enough weight and colour to hide minor skin blemishes.

Great looking hold ups that really do hold up!
