Hard to find tights that meet my needs as an older dancer. These work nicely and are of good quality. Comfortable waistline and gusset. Would purchase again.

I love this brand of tights. They are soft and comfy and do not bind at the groin like one other brand of plus size tights. I am taller then their height limit but they still fit. The only trouble I have is the hole in the bottom of the foot is too small to sit on my ankles without leaving a dent. I thought I had thin ankles but I guess not if you are not expecting someone over 6 feet tall. I have skinny feet, so they go right through but I would rather have a stirrup or footless tight because of the small hole.

The tights are durable, a beautiful color, and very good quality. I've only worn them once so far. The only con is that the waistband fits quite tightly around the stomach, even though my weight was not in the outermost bracket for the size. I do carry weight in my midsection and they are not as uncomfortable as they could've been (non-performance tights can be brutal in that regard). However, I have worn tights that stayed up well and did not fit like this in the waistband. But since those are not performance tights, these are my new go to's. I'll order a size larger next time, although these fit perfectly everywhere else (legs, butt, feet). Sizing tights up 1 can lead to a more opaque effect but I don't anticipate that being a problem. My advice would be to order a size up unless you are very slim waisted, regardless of regular tight size.

Great tights but run a little small. Have large muscular thighs from ballet and powerlifting. Would like a larger size.

Beautiful looking tights, soft and comfortable. However, be sure you carefully check sizing. I'm glad I read reviews that advised me to do so! I am a size 16, and normally in tights I'm a 1X, but for these in particular, I'm a 4X. Overall, great purchase!

As a plus size ballet dancer, it is often times difficult to find tights that ft comfortably. These tights are soft and so comfortable to dance in. I bought two pairs in the pink and tan and will probably be ordering the black as well. I ordered the 3X/4X because that is what the size chart suggested. I probably could've ordered the smaller size but these are just fine. They do not cut into me like my past tights have. The colors are true to the image and these are an all around great pair of tights for the dancing I do! Love them!

I have always worn Capezio tights but when I bought a new pair after returning to ballet after many years and, ahem, filling out, I didn't care for the fit and material. They were so much scratchier then I remembered. So I ordered a pair of these in a 1x/2x and a 3x/4x and they both fit great. In the size chart I should be 3x/4x (5'6" and 215lb) but the other size fits great too. These tights are so so so soft and comfortable. They come up to my bra, but that has always been a problem for me. I must have terribly short legs regardless. I recommend these to all the girls I dance with. I probably have five pairs total in pink and black and they all look great. Except the one pair I ordered from another site. Those got runs in them after one class!

They're comfortable and fit true to size. I like the convertible feature -- makes it easy to wear them to class to avoid getting dressed in the studio. I bought 2 pair and am happy I did.

Softer than you could ever imagine. Available in a size that fits a 6 foot 2 inch woman with ease; even though she is no longer the 142 pound teen who could get into an Capezio XL (with strain) in her youth. I am well over 200 pounds now. These go past the size chart for height and still do not put pressure on my toes making me want to cut the feet out of the footed ones, and even come in pink convertible now. No need to cut any more... They do not fall down at the waist like used to happen when I sized up to get more length. I used to count on the leotard to hold up my tights because they were maxed out for length and would slowly slide down during class. I don't care to but I could even wear these tights over my leotard now if I wanted.

Background: I have wanted to take Ballet since I was 5 years old and recently signed up for my very first class. I knew that finding products to fit me were going to be tough as I'm 5'6", 300lbs and usually wear 20-24 depends on the brand/style of clothing. I Google'd many options and found these to be the best suited pair of tights for me. In regards to the product: - The tights arrived on-time! - I was not sure what I was expecting, but I was surprised to find out that these feel exactly like regular pantyhose. - They are slightly more opaque than your typical hose and seem durable although I won't start dancing in them until my classes start in 2 weeks. Over-all: Shipping/processing speed and value this site offers cannot be beat!

These tights are great. I'm a male dancer 5"9 long thick legs and they fit perfect for ballet class and legs feel great in them. Great to wear under jeans in cold weather or just to relax in. Highly recomend them.

How about a bigger size tight. 4X runs small doesn't fit larger size muscular thighs.

I noticed on the plus size convertible tights the colors have pink, suntan, and caramel. But the pink option looks alot like tan. Could you suggest which color to get for the closest nude color.

The jazzy tan would be the closest to a nude or tan. Pink will be a ballet pink color, though it is very light, it will not look natural under lights.

The color in the picture is theatrical pink; a light bubblegum pink. The ballet pink in this brand is a peachy pink.

Capezio's convertible tights do not quite fit for this over 6 foot tall girl.... Body Wrappers regular plus tights fit beautifully and feel better than the other brands I can find to fit.

Unfortunately, we do not offer this style in Pink or Ballet Pink. We do offer Capezio style 1816 in an XXL size, and that style does come in shades of Pink. Please contact Customer Service if you would like assistance finding tights that might work for you.

I need Body Wrappers Full Body tights for dance and I can't figure out by the website if they are actually full body, and I need a 2X. Can someone please help me if you have purchased them if they are full body or not. Thank You!

This tight is a regular tight. If you are looking for a body tight you can type "body tight" into the search bar and they will come right up. Body Wrappers does make a body tight, style #A93, but it only goes up to a L/XL.
