Capezio Women's Ultra Soft Transition Tight

Best tights EVER! Just do yourself a favor and order the size above what you expect. I'm a size 10-12, I weigh 170, and I'm 5'8 - I ordered the L/XL and when I looked at the size chart in the back of the package I found I should have ordered an XXL.

Let me state that Capezio Ultra Soft tights are made of excellent quality & are the only brand we purchase. The 3 stars given are due to labeling & not being aware of the waist band which is very important to the dancer.A pair of Ultra Soft Capezio tights were needed . However these had a waist band that is elastic & it rolls. Style 1816 KA14 they were not what was expected being a Ultra Soft Capezio tights.In comparation to the preferred style 1618 HA16 of Ultra Soft Capezio tights, which has the waist band made of the same material as the tights themselves.This is the 2nd pair of Ultra Soft purchased from Amazon on behalf of Capezio & both had the same waist issues one being this & the other being suntan transitionalYou can see by the photos what I'm referring to.

The tights are comfortable and look good. I like the transition foot, because I can roll the tights up and wear flip flops going to and from class. The size chart on the package is accurate, but it is different than the standard Amazon size chart for women, so be careful. If you are under 5'2" and weigh less than 130lb, you should get the S/M. If you are 5'4 but weigh 120 or less, than you probably still want the S/M. If you are 5'3" or taller and weigh at least 130lb, than you should get the L/XL. I am 5'6" and 135lb, and the L/XL size fits me fine. It would still fit me if I gained 15 lb or lost 10 lb, because it is stretchy. At a height of 5'6" you would have to be 110 lb for the S/M to fit. There are select styles of XX Large tights for people that are 6 foot tall to 6' 2" and weigh up to 180lb.I hope that helps.

For reference, in bottoms I am usually a size small, 26, or 3. I weigh 115 lbs and am 5’1”.I ordered size small/medium in the color suntan.SIZE: I fit into the tights fine and it looked good. I would say It was super tight on the tummy and it squeezed my skin. It did give me difficulty with digesting whenever I ate while wearing the tights, but it was comfortable otherwise. That might be how fights should fit. I’m not too sure if the next size up (large/xlarge) would have fit me right, because it might be too loose.COLOR: I considered the light suntan color because of the reviews saying that suntan was too orange. I would say that suntan definitely does have an orange undertone, but I like that how it is similar to my skin tone, which is warm and brown. I purchased this for a ballet course in college. I personally feel the light suntan would be too pale for my legs.QUALITY: durable. I threw it in the washer and let it air dry, and the tights remained in good condition with no runs or holes.

Very soft tights. They do run small - I'm usually a medium in most clothes. I'm 5'3", 150 lbs and got the L/XL. They fit great. Here's a size chart that's much more accurate than the Amazon size chart:

First, find a capezio size chart before ordering. The light suntan color was a perfect to match her jazz shoes which is why we chose this color. She wore them for a few rehearsals and two recitals and they are still doing well. she had no complaints about the fit.

Great fit. I bought size S/M and I am 5'3" 110 pounds. Fit perfectly.

Glad I finally got a pair, they are very comfortable. The waistband might be tight for some, but that's perfect for me since I use them for trapeze and don't want my tights to slide down mid air lol

Great quality. One pair has lasted through six shows without laddering. However, recommend going up a size as they are a tight fit, (please excuse the pun).

My daughter has no complaints. We've bought these for her before.

Good quality dance tights. Nice colour.

This Amazon size chart was wrong, but fortunately mine still fit thanks to being quite slim at the moment.
