Tights - front or back?

Please don't laugh at me! Does the double seam go at the front or the back? There's no label inside.

Sorry OP, no help, but just to say I don’t think you’re alone in finding those things difficult!!! They need clearer instructions!

NetballHoop · 19/03/2025 09:07

I'm probably wrong but I'd always put the double seam at the front.

EducatingArti · 19/03/2025 09:08

I'd always do double seam at the back!

MissCherryCakeyBun · 19/03/2025 09:09

Double at the back as it gives more “fabric” for the bum area when you sit down etc

heldinadream · 19/03/2025 09:09

Back - it's extra room for your bum. 😂

Use snag tights they’re great, they have a label inside and they are so much more comfortable than other tights

I always put double seam at back too

Have you never put tights on a baby? The two seams mean there’s extra room for the bum 😂

Duckies · 19/03/2025 11:28

Double seam is for your bum!

Reminds me of my DP putting the baby's tights on the other way and her looking like a Tudor courtier 😄

Double seam with the extra fabric for my enormous backside your bottom.

Oblomov25 · 19/03/2025 11:59

I didn't even KNOW that double seam was supposed to go at the back!

SAHMutiny · 19/03/2025 12:16

@localhere a very long time ago. But they all had labels, I didn't need to take any notice of the seam placement!

Thank you. I have learnt something today!

Another double seam at the back person (extra fabric allows for the curve of your bum)

No baby tights here anyway (all boys).
It does make sense now that it’s been explained 😅

The double seam goes at the back it's supposed to enhance your bottom shape

Boys wear baby tights / leggings too!

Leggings maybe. Mine didn’t wear tights at least.
