My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas

  My Favourite Fashion Tights This Christmas Good design is like the imagination. It takes heaps of originality and a new perspective, otherwise it’s just, well, boring . Someone we knew, who had a penchant for thought puzzles, once asked us to imagine a new colour. It’s an impossible task, but it’s not too dissimilar to what we do. Everyday we try to capture, in words, a new pattern, something that wasn’t made to look like anything else around us. We’re supposed to tell you what a colour means and how it weaves its magic on your eyes. It’s even more puzzling for us when Dawn meets one of our agents and picks the most stunning fashion tights available to her. This complicates matters, but at least we have photography like this to help us out. See what we mean? Designs like these are difficult to capture in just words. They’re also quite amazing, and this might well be the last you read from us this year, so we wanted to show you something real...

Happy Halloween!

  Guest blogger - Raven Taylor The leaves are turning orange. Suddenly the air is filled with the smell of woodsmoke as the first fires of the year are lit. Shop window displays are full of pumpkins, witches and skeletons. It can only mean one thing- the witching season is here and halloween is just around the corner. Halloween, or Samhain as it was known in the old days, is an ancient festival, dating back hundreds of years. It was traditionally the Celtic new year, and it is said it is the time when the veil between our world and that of the spirits is at its thinnest. It was the last of the three harvest festivals celebrated by old cultures, a time when the last of the animals were slaughtered and their meat stored for winter, and any remaining livestock were brought in from the fields. It was a time when dark nights started to creep in, driving people indoors to huddle around their fires, and with more time spent inside with the night pressing in, it was only nat...

Embellished By The Moulin Rouge

 Embellished By The Moulin Rouge There’s plenty to love in Moulin Rouge’s first fashion tights range, but this one is particularly praise-worthy. It’s a design that combines elegant simplicity and the infamous showgirl glamour of the theatre company. This design is Embellished , a pair of black opaque tights that have a very simple arrangement of crystals, spelling out “Moulin Rouge” in an Art Deco font. This is the most tasteful, and yet glamorous way these expert designers could have included their name, their very identity, in one of their items. The Art Deco typeface chosen gives these tights the showbiz aesthetic that is so intimate and important to the image of the Moulin Rouge. It is a style of typography closely associated with glamour and the “flapper girl” style of dress. It is a perfect choice for these fashion tights. The crystals are Swarovski, selected for their quality and their standard as some of the finest crystals around. So many...

Is it Possible for Curvy Women to Wear Seamless Tights?

  In the past, curvy women often struggled to find the perfect pair of tights for them. Wide in the hips, comfortable in the waistband and the thighs… finding that perfect fit is even more difficult when you are curvy. Variety wasn’t a feature in plus size tights neither, so curvy girls often ended up in baggy or little comfortable opaque tights all year round.   Are There Any Good-Fitting Seamless Tights for Plus Size? Have you ever tried seamless tights before? The way seamless tights are manufactured, in a whole piece, only allowed seamless tights to have a small waistband attached to it. The so-called  banana tights  weren’t a convenient option for larger sizes. A low and narrow waist isn’t the best fit for curvy women, as Dawn Barber, Managing Director of UK Tights has experienced herself. As you know, I’m a plus size lady myself and I’ve never been able to wear this kind of product before now. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of ...
