“A dress is so great because you can grab a dress, then you either wear it with tights or no tights, depending on what the weather is outside. You can throw a little jacket over it; you can take the jacket off. It’s very easy.” – Busy Philipps
The other day chatting with a friend about pants. She remarked that she had known me for eight years and had never seen me wear jeans. I pointed out that I don’t own any. But winters in New York are COLD and I live in dresses. I need to cover my legs. I love tights, but finding ones that fight me is a challenge. Once when helping a designer with a show for fashion week, he sent me out to buy tights for the models. They were the same size and brand I wore except I was buying tights for women who were 5ft 9in and weighed 110 lbs. I am 5ft 1inch and considerably heavier yet we wear the same size?
It’s because traditional tight sizes presume that if a woman needs a bigger size it’s because she’s taller, no consideration is given beyond that. It definitely explains why I can constantly besieged by the tragedy that is crotch sag. How did I never hear about Snag Tights until now?
