FAQs

What does '50 denier' mean for these tights?

Denier is a unit of measurement for fabric thickness. 50 denier indicates a medium thickness, providing good opacity and durability suitable for everyday wear.

Is the 'velvety' texture scratchy?

No, the velvety texture is designed to be soft and smooth against the skin, offering a luxurious feel without being irritating.

Can these tights be worn in all seasons?

The 50 denier thickness makes them suitable for spring, autumn, and milder winter days. For very cold weather, thicker tights or layering may be necessary.

What makes the waistband 'comfortable'?

The waistband is engineered with specific materials and construction to provide a secure fit that doesn't dig in or feel restrictive, allowing for comfortable wear throughout the day.

Are these tights suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, they are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified, meaning they have been tested and are free from harmful substances, making them a safer choice for sensitive skin.

How do I know if I've bought the right size?

Refer to the DIM sizing guide for their hosiery. Generally, ensure the tights fit smoothly along the leg without pulling or bunching, and the waistband sits comfortably at your natural waist.

Troubleshooting

Tights feel too tight despite the comfort waistband.

Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the brand's sizing chart. Sometimes, adjusting the position of the waistband can help alleviate pressure points.

Uneven opacity or sheer patches.

This can sometimes occur if the tights are stretched too thinly over the leg. Ensure proper sizing and distribution of the fabric. Gentle hand washing can also help maintain fabric integrity.

Waistband rolling down.

This might indicate a sizing issue or that the fabric is not gripping the skin sufficiently. Ensure the tights are pulled up fully and evenly. Wearing them with garments that have a smooth interior may also help.

Snags or runs appearing.

Handle the tights with extreme care, avoiding contact with sharp objects. If a small snag appears, try not to stretch the area, and it may be less noticeable due to the opaque nature. For significant runs, the pair may need to be replaced.

Care Instructions: To maintain the quality and longevity of your Dim Velvety Opaque Tights:

  1. Washing: Hand wash recommended in cool water with a mild detergent. If machine washing, use a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag and cold water.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  3. Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, as they can damage the fibers.
  4. Handling: Handle with care to avoid snags from jewelry, rough surfaces, or fingernails.
