Hobbs tights. Very disappointed. <pout>

They have gone all wrinkly and saggy at the knees and ankles after just one wear. Have thrown the pack away but I'm sure they had lycra in them.

Is this a defect as such, or is the problem with my anatomy?

Dorothy P is the way to go

£7 for 2 atm

Don't know about Hobbs, but I often find posh tights disappointing. I am sure your anatomy is not the problem.

Dragonbrandybutter · 04/01/2009 00:11

don't go posh on tights!

hi bocca, long time no see.

Yes Rickets and cellulite are a no no for posh tights.

Good grief, the cellulite has not reached my knees yet, much less my ankles [rofl]

Are they sticking to the false tan?

Could be rickets though. I do have a persistent problem which I am reliably informed by other MNers is called 'Dead leg'. Is this a symptom?

OP posts:
cornsilk · 04/01/2009 00:20

Yes. Especially if you give dead legs to other people down the pub.

Cornsilk do you live in the house behind me, you know the one with a view into the spare room where it doesn;t matter if the fake tan splatters a bit?

cornsilk · 04/01/2009 00:21

I may do.....

Dragonbrandybutter · 04/01/2009 00:21

rickets

notorious for getting your tights all bent out of shape. baggy tights is the first sign.
