These tights are a dressier style -- they are deluxely soft and satiny with rear seams. They are lightweight and opaque, with a very elegant sheen that makes them perfect for sexy PM dressing (and they work well for day, too!). In black. Sizing works as follows: Small = hips 34"-38" and height 5'0"-5'4"; Medium = hips 36"-42" and height 5'2"-5'8"; Large = hips 40"-46" and height 5'5"-5'8".
