Product Review: Alison tries Bebaroque ‘Tattoo Me’ tights

A few weeks ago we told you about Bebaroque legwear made not far away from Knickers HQ. Alison decided she would try out her Bebaroque ‘Tattoo Me’ tights when she and Danae were in Paris. During a night out, they lost count of the number of people looking at the tattooed legwear and, astonishingly, a car even stopped on the busy Rue de la Bastille to ask about the tights! They obviously created a stir on the streets of Paris, but did Alison like wearing them? Here’s her verdict:

Bebaroque Tattoo Me Tights

Price: £34.95
Get it at: Bebaroque

Comfort: 5/5
These are brilliantly comfortable and feel luxurious and gorgeous!

Fit: 5/5
I was amazed by the fit of the tights! As I have a 34in inside leg, finding tights that fit properly is a challenge. I never buy ‘one size’ tights as they are always too short and I end up with a crotch near
my knees. I was delighted (after my initial scepticism) to find that these ‘one size’ beauties fit perfectly!

VTL: 5/5
Visible Tight Line is a not-very-often highlighted problem. It’s something however that plagues me time and time again. Unless you have no body fat, the waistband so often cuts in at the stomach (giving a very unwelcome bulge)
and creates an ugly line that makes you have to change your dress moments before you go out (for some reason VTL only becomes apparent to me during that last look in the mirror before I go out). I was overjoyed by the lack of VTL and even enjoyed a Parisian meal without feeling like I had an elastic band around my waist.

Style:5/5
Tattoo Me tights are definite head-turners. With their silky sheer appearance they’re not only elegant but downright sexy! I’m not usually a fan of light-coloured, sheer tights but, together with the exquisitely designed, quirky print these are really stunning. I could walk the streets of Paris safe in the knowledge that I fit in with the Parisian chiconistas!

Value for Money: 5/5
I’ve never been one to skimp on quality and therefore always expect to pay a little more. Though I’ve never paid £35 for a pair of tights before, I’ve also never had a pair of tights quite like this.
Bebaroque tights are hand printed, fit brilliantly and are of amazing quality, and I think they’re definitely worth splashing out on.

I have to admit to having had a bit of stage fright before I went out in the tights (I can still hear Danae’s words of reassurance and then frustration!). I’m so used to wearing thick, opaque tights, that it felt a little strange walking around in ‘bare’, ‘tattooed’ legs, however my confidence grew when I realised how good they made me feel. I’m now trying to limit my time gazing at the rest of the Bebaroque legwear collection!
