I was desperately in need of matte black tights for my Renaissance Festival costume since I lost the ones that originally came with it. All the tights I found at supermarkets or convenient store were very sheer and not opaque at all. I was very weary of ordering these since my previous experiences were not good. However, I have to say I’m so glad I took a chance and ordered these. I love that fact that these tights are matte black and of nice thick quality. I have a lot of tattoos on my legs and they were not visible at all while wearing these tights. I have to say they are VERY opaque as you can see in the photos I included.However, one thing is they run a little small. I wear 3x everything so I ordered these in 3x. Feet, leg, and thigh areas fit great but once up on my hips the material is different. It is less stretchy and thicker. I struggled getting them up. At the end of the day (8 hour wear time) they left indentations on my skin that itched so bad (not from material allergic reaction but from the tight pressure on my skin). I highly recommend getting 1-2 sizes up especially if you are curvaceous. All in all though I absolutely love them and will be ordering more. Definitely high quality and I recommend these tights.
