I purchased some fishnets before and they were super sturdy! Lurex are usually expensive. I don’t have $40 everytime I need to dish out for lurex nets so these are perfect and I will more than likely buy shimmer tights again soon.
I use We Love Colors tights and fishnets in conjunction with dance tights to hide my hip pads and create the illusion of having larger hips for my work as a drag queen. They're sturdy and the color range has been very helpful in matching everything to my skintone. They fishnets in particular seem to tear and snag less than others that I've used in the past; which is why I only have to purchase them every 6 months or so. In the past; fishnets in my size have only lasted me 5-6 wears; whereas I'd estimate my WLC fishnets have lasted approximately 48 (2x a week, 4 weeks in a month, 6 months).
The netting was REALLY REALLY tight. It took 2 of us to pull the tights. Then it was a weird powder over them. I dyed them and it took to the fishnets really well. But I had to wash them before hand due to the strange powder substance. For the life of me I don’t know what it was, but I have sensitive skin and it made my hands irritated and feel burny and numb. My sister who helped me Inhaled a little and sneezed for 5 minutes or so. After I washed the tights in cold water and dyed them too it was gone. I just thought I’d let you guys know my experience. It was just really weird. I hope it wasn’t like.... something toxic.
the colour charts do not accurately represent some of the colours. I've returned 3 x pairs fishnets because the colours are not what I wanted.
I needed some knee high socks that can cover my legs while I roller skate and We Love Color came through with exactly what I needed, I've ordered fishnets (in a few different colors) before and those were wonderful which is why I came back for socks. Love you guys, keep doing you.
