Tights..

Scraggs

Can anybody point me in the direction of somewhere in Dublin city centre that sells tights with the seam all along the back... thats a really bad description but hopefully somebody will understand!!
Thanks:)

I know the ones you mean you might get them in Roches Stores they would havea pretty large hosiery collection. There Clerys or Arnotts are your best bets

Jonathon Aston or Aristoc tights in Brown Thomas will most likely have that style. I've seen them there before. Or try M&S too.

Brown Thomas no longer sell normally priced hosiery since the renovations. Dunnes or M+S are you best bets, Dan. Actually Marks have a great range of patterned/ coloured tights/stockings etc about €8 or less a pair. Dunnes are similarly priced, but their range isn't quite as extensive. I'm pretty certain M+S have something like what you describe.

Thanks everybody for the replies, I'll have a look and see how I get on!

The 1940's style tights?
Penney's have them for much cheaper than everyone else.
Bought a pair there the other week.

Nightwish

Asha in Stephens Green, Ad Hoc in Temple Bar and the Sock Shop on Grafton Street.

Just throwing this out there but i find those type of tights seriously unattractive.. up there with fishnets and oddly coloured ones.

You can jump on me now and go CERAEZY defending them

Some people like them & some people don't...it's called personal taste

If you don't like em, don't wear em

Nightwish

I really like them. I wear fishnets and have stripey tights in a range of colours. The only ones that look terrible are leopard print ones...I swear I saw a woman wearing the in M&S in the Jervis Centre.

I've seen them in Pennys as well. Concidering there is a high likelihood that they will get ripped paying for them as cheaply as possible is the best bet me thinks. Afair they were around the €5 mark in Pennys

Nah, I wont go crazy thats just your opinion! I like them I think they make legs look really elegant esp when worn with a nice pair of stilettoes.

Not great.. I didnt get a chance to look in Dublin yet but I had a look around Carlow with no luck whatsoever.

and whoever said it, yeah it is the 1940s style I was thinking of!

I have such a ridiculously large collection of patterned/coloured/fishnet tights. I can't help it. I think they look cool.:rolleyes:

Wife had a pair of Jonathon Aston black seamed stockings which she got here on last Saturday when we went out for a meal..

she had on a black top with a black skirt with 4.5 inch black and red stilettos heels and looked like sex on legs.. even more so to me cos she is nearly 5 months pregnant:D

chump

any pics?

I'm not so sure about seamed stockings myself... probably have to see a few more examples in real life to come to a conclusion

Lump

A lady friend of mine wore the type of tights you're talking about a few times. I f*cking loved them, I don't know why, just looked damn fine on her.

@ chump PM me an email address and I'll see what I can do;)

My favourite seams she has are a pair of stockings with diamonds running up the back along the seam, she gets some looks when she wears them out!!
