I have worn these tights a handful of times. They have held up well. The material is a thick stretchy knit. I got them because I love the ribbon bow on the front but the white portions ended up being a lot wider then I thought so I just do not end up wearing the very often. They stretch really well but sometimes the bits of white poke through the black sections when worn. they are 115cm long when laid out flat. I am five feet eight inches tall and can get them on easily however I think the print would not stretch as much and look nicer on someone shorter then me.
