Pensacola,FLI typically use these tights for my classes, auditions and every day professional office attire. They fit really well. I'm tall and have a long torso, so many tights do not come all the way up to the crotch...which makes dancing a little awkward and costumes fit weird. These are fairly durable and very comfortable. My only complaint is sometimes they can pill and depending on the batch, they can be delicate and run easily.

03/09/2016I always order my tights in large size, and when I went to put them on, it seemed to stretch so much that I got multiple runs on both legs. I had just bought them and haven't worn them once, and they are already falling apart. If you are going to buy these, I would suggest getting a larger size so this does not happen. However, the waistband does not bother me and they are quite comfortable to wear. I would just prefer to not go to class with runs in my tights.

12/21/2015I have been in love with these tights for years and they are the only ones I ever buy! They don't pinch my waist AT ALL, so they are incredibly comfortable and I don't get a muffin top with them; they are really soft as well. However, since they are cheaper tights they don't last very long. I can still keep a pair for a year or two, but they will start to pill (it may be different if you washed them with dance clothes only) and the color wears down.
I recommend these tights to all my friends!

11/12/2015My favorite pair of tights! The waistband has the perfect elasticity! With every other pair of tights, I'm always fidgeting with the waistband because it sits at a weird height or it's too tight and it's making me feel super disconnected to my core or making my upper body feel disconnected to my lower body. Not with these tights! I just put them on once and never have to adjust them again during class. The waistband is a soft fit that never feels tight and is always comfortable through the entire class. The tights themselves are super soft and comfortable too :)

10/30/2015These are my favorite ballet tights - very soft, and they have the best waistband I've tried so far. It will cut into you least compared to any other brand. I always buy the largest size in tights so they have a comfier waistband and fit my long-ish legs. I wear a medium in leotards, but I bought a LXL in these.

10/28/2015The size chart was accurate, it fit perfectly and did not slip. Take care when handling it cause it seems like it will run easily.

09/22/2015My daughter's first words after opening the pkg pertained to how soft they were. Sadly, they didn't make it past her first practice before developing a run in them.

08/23/2015So, these are very comfortable, but there is not a lot of support. So, you will not get the annoying waistband indent or overflow issue, if you have that. These are less supportive than all my other tights, they support more like a legging if that makes sense. They did run on me, but not immediately. I purchased a second pair for a performance, mostly because of the waistband and the color. The tan color is very good. My tan Capezio tights have better support, but the colors are reddish, and the waistband is uber tight and binding, showing through a leotard.

07/29/2015I purchased 4 pairs of Natalie Dancewear tights from Discount Dance. My daughter wore a pair the first day and they already have a hole in them. It is not a run, but a small hole around the seam near the crotch, which will run even more with extensive use. It is the first time I purchased Natalie as they were a great price. My daughter loves the comfort and feel of the tights, but I am afraid these will not hold up with multiple uses. She has the second pair on today so we will see how they hold up. Would not recommend even at a good price.

06/08/2015these tights are for my daughter who is almost 5:11" tall and only 13 years old. They fit her perfectly. They are true to size. They last a good amount of time and are very soft. She loves them. I would recommend these. Give them a try. They are also a good value..

04/21/2015My daughter loves Natalie's tights because they have a comfortable waistline and have the right elasticity for her. Many other tights seem restricting and undercomfortable to the point where she can't wait to get them off and this affects her dancing as she is thinking about being uncomfortable instead of just focusing on dance. These tights also are durable - my daughter dances 18 - 20 hours a week and have had the same tights for months and with the price of these tights along with the comfort for her, it's a no brainer. I would highly recommend.

01/20/2015Except for the convertible opening, I was fully pleased with these tights. I think the hole is cut small, and there is no stretchability to cause the fabric to have much give. I hope that using them will stretch them without causing the edges to tear. I ordered two pair, and the review is consistent, therefore, it is the design, I think, instead of a random imperfection.

11/20/2014I ordered the pink hoping it wouldn't be so bright but the pink is more of a tan color. Next time I'll order the ballet pink.

11/08/2014I absolutely LOVE these tights! I ordered a couple pairs over a year ago, and they do not have any holes or runs to this day. (Just a side note: I dance 9-10 hours a week, so these tights have seen many, many, many hours of dancing!) This is a miracle, considering every other pair of tights I have ever purchased always got a run on the first day that I wore them. Plus, these tights are extremely comfortable. I wear them for 3-4 hours at a time, and they never bother me or make me feel uncomfortable. I will definitely be purchasing these tights for the rest of my dancing years!

10/16/2014I'm 5'5" 120 lbs and got the M/L size. It is very soft and a nice fit on the waist band. It doesn't pinch in too much.

10/15/2014So, I followed the general advice in the reviews and ordered on the large side for my kids. The tights are soft, but once the girls started wearing them they started stretching out of shape. They're still OK for class, but if buying for a recital, I'd keep them in the package until you need them. Very good for the price overall, but not as nice as higher priced tights.

10/13/2014I bought the tights because they were on sale. I was really surprised by the comfort of the tight. Will by again in the near future. The tights weren't too tight like some other tights I have bought in the past .

10/06/2014We like these convertible tights but we found that they ran small. My 5'4" 100 lbs. daughter had to get an adult large because the crotch was way too low for her to pull up the tights.

10/02/2014The product came quickly, like the next day. I've had it for around a week and am pleased with it so far.
I bought these because I needed tights that would allow my dance instructors to see the line of my leg but would also keep me covered.
I an 5'5" and around 160 lbs (I am pretty curvy for a dancer). I ordered a size large in black and they mold to my leg extremely well but still allow me to move. I am amazed at how much give they have whenever I put them on! I haven't washed them yet but I hope they hold up. They are also nice and opaque if that's a concern for you. A nice plus is that they're super warm! I think they wear well under sweats and jeans and stuff.
I do wanna say that the elastic band is very comfortable but also pretty noticeable under a leotard. It gives a nice hourglass shape but you can see where the band sinks into your skin.

09/27/2014The colour is a bit different from Capezio's but it makes no difference for me... The elastic on the hips makes it comfortable and able to wear over the leotard... usually i get home and want to get rid of my ballet clothes, but when I used it I forgot what I was wearing and spent hours after my class with it. I got 3 of them.

06/24/2014Yes, they get runs unless you are really careful. But, they are very comfortable and look nice for pink tights. I really like the color. Pink tights can be challenging to wear, but the color of these tights is flattering and they look good on on different body types. I would recommend these tights if you find pink tights challenging to wear - I was a strictly "black tights" gal for a long time until I found these tights.

06/03/2014I bought two pairs of these tights (one pink, one tan). I have pretty long legs for my 5'5"/99 pound stature, and I got the small because the size chart seemed to be good for my weight. The inseam, however, is really short for me, so I have the material stretches a lot for me. This makes the color be very white-ish instead of pink and makes it susceptible to runs. It hasn't run yet, but I'm nervous that it is bound to happen very soon. The waistband is very nice and doesn't squeeze or cause bulges or spill over, which is nice. Overall, they are good tights as long as you focus more on your height than your weight on the size chart, and order up if you aren't sure.

03/29/2014I'm taking more ballet classes soon and I needed some more tights for my dance wardrobe. Although when I first saw the waistband, I thought it was going to be uncomfortable. But once I got it on, I actually liked the way it fit and the waistband is tolerable. The only problem I have is that when converting to footless, it's a little difficult to shift the hole off your foot without being afraid of ruining the tights.
Overall, I love these tights and will be using them until they start to run. I am 129 lb. and 5'8", mostly legs then torso, I ordered a large and it fits perfectly.

Thanks so much!

01/27/2014The color of these tights by Natalie are really beautiful! They're a true "ballet" pink in that they aren't too Pepto Bismol or bubblegum pink, and they're not that strange orangey peach color that people like to call salmon. The color is a lovely subdued peachy pink that any fair to tan skintone can wear without looking odd or sick. These tights are also very comfortable, and quite soft!
I would say I love these tights, but they are simply not durable. The toe area runs easily, and after only a few uses I have holes in the gusset/crotch area. I've never had holes in that area from any other brand of tights before! Of course, for the low price, it doesn't seem like such a big deal. I can easily replace them. If durability isn't something you care about, and comfort and color are your priority, then these are great. However, I need my tights to last longer than a few wearings.

10/13/2013For the price, this product was great. I like the fact that the waistband much more comfortable than capezio's. The fabric is also much softer without compromising durability. I prefer the form fitting feel of the capezio tights, but for the price I'm not complaining. I'm 5'4 and 110lbs and the M fit well.

07/27/2013I bought two pair of tights for my daughters. They dance 5-6 hours a week. The tights lasted most of the way through a 4 month semester before getting runs. No pilling after many washes and no special care. The waist band didn't get stretched out like other tights they've worn in the past. I've bought more expensive Capezio tights but they get runs just as quickly and the waist bands got stretched out after a few months wear. These are really good tight s for the money.

05/24/2013I can't write how much I love these tights. I have a few other brands, but this is my favorite. The waistband is elastic, but not hard elastic like Capezio tights- and the waistband is very comfortable. I have returned to dance after many years, and am 20 lbs heavier than when I was dancing before- this tight fits well. I ordered one size up, and they are very comfortable. The tight feels durable, so far no runs after a couple of months of use 2 days a week. And the color of the Ballet Pink is perfect. The tight is not very thick but not shear either, and make my legs look nice even with my extra weight. And the price is great- a good bargain for the quality, I recommend these!

05/12/2013I absolutely LOVE these tights! They are comfortable, pretty durable, I love the colors and the best part for me is the elastic waistband, because it stays in place, is comfortable, doesn't cut in, and best of all it doesn't roll like other tights with supposed "comfort waistbands". I have several pairs in light-suntan, caramel, black, and white(in both convertible and footed) for all different types of performances from modern/contemporary to musical theater and I love them all. Easily my favorite brand of tights

03/04/2013I actually ordered these tights a while ago, and I never got around to reviewing them until now. Let me tell you- these tights are AMAZING. They are super soft, I was so surprised when I first got them. I ordered like, 3 more afterwards. They're actually surprisingly durable and again- super soft! They foot hole on the bottom is non-intrusive and isn't sewn with a noticeable edge like some others are.

02/07/2013I got these because of the cheap price and when they first arrived I wasn't used to how soft these were. I usually wear Capezio which are a bit more compressing and stiff but I ended up liking the soft/looseness of these. They fit pretty well and I like that the waistband didn't cut into me like the Capezio's. The only issue I have with these is that the crotch area comes out of either side of my leo sometimes which looks a little awkward. I've had these for almost a year now and I have runs all down the back of them but I don't know if I can complain because again, these are so cheap and it has been around a year. I might get these again but just as some backup tights.

01/09/2013I JUST got these tights today and I LOVE them! SO cheap and at $7 you can not pass down that offer!
I ordered a size medium, following the sizing chart and that sizing chart was spot on! not too tight, so you can't breathe and not to loose. Fit perfectly!!!
and the holes on the bottom made them even more perfect and a lot easier to give your feet a break in them and just take them out (to bandage them?)
or to give the tights a break from getting dirty!
over all I would SO reccommend this to a friend!

11/17/2012Wear it for one performance? Great! It's one my softest and most comfortable tights.
Wear it repeatedly for class? Not so much. It developed runs after 1 or 2 classes, and by the end of the week, the crotch had like 3 holes.

11/10/2012These weren't bad tights, they get the job done, but you do get what you pay for. These tights seem to not stretch has much as my bloch tights do, and the bloch tights are a bit more opaque. They are easier to move around in and are softer and longer. However, these are not bad for the price, they rip easy, but tights will be tights.

10/19/2012These tights run pretty true to size. We are buying them in threes now with total confidence in their quality, size and longevity. They are a great product for the price and don't feel we have lost anything in quality purchasing these over the $18+ pairs sold in the local dance stores. We put them in a protective bag when washing and air dry and they last as long as any others until they get icky looking from wearing them for so long, typical black feet on the bottom that happens to any tight. At this price we tend to toss them more frequently and keep fresh pairs. There have been no snag problems or otherwise described by other dancers.

08/26/2012I wasn't expecting much when I bought these, but they're actually really nice for the price. Just be careful when you put them on and if you're in between sizes, order up. Because they're so cheap, I bought three, and alternating between them really helps. The hole is a little annoying because it can slide up my heel and makes pointing on pointe shoes a bit of a pain, but like people have been saying, it's a really good tight for the price.

08/07/2012I received these tights for performances and comps. The pink matched well with my ballet shoes and were easy to get on and off for quick changes. They are also very opaque. I had a quick change were I had a musical theater piece that required tan tights and I had a dance right before that. My entrance was the last in the MT piece, thankfully. I wore these tights over the tan tights, for my ballet duet. On the video there is no tan tights showing through and I was glad I could change as quickly as I did in twenty seconds. My best friend and my ballet teacher were there to help. These tights to rip easily when under pressure. I have gone through about four pairs of these in the last two months ( I dance pure ballet, no more MT, for about 15 hours a week in these tights.)

07/20/2012I love these tights. I think I have two pairs I use for class along with another brand that I rotate through. It took me a while before I got my first run but it was a simple fix with a light pink nail or clear nail polish.
They're warm, comfortable, and cheap to beat up, snag, make hole-y, the color is fine as far as ballet pink is concerned. The convertible hole is a little stiff and I've had to stretch them out to fit, and I think this is where a lot of runs begin. I also have issue with it being so stretched out that it ends up slipping beyond the sole of my foot and goes right over my heel. I have to correct it in the middle of class sometimes. Despite these flaws, they're manageable and comfortable and do the job.
I bought more for recital time with the intention of wearing it only for recital and they lasted through photos, dress rehearsal, and the recital. No runs or snags, so I set them aside for recital use again.

06/21/2012These tights are super-comfy, BUT.......they only last about one wearing. I bought 6 pairs and all but 1 developed a run within 10 minutes of wearing! I would've been better off paying a higher price for tights that lasted a bit longer.
Tights also run a bit short. I do not have exceptionally long legs, but I really had to stretch these to fully cover my legs.
In essence, you get what you pay for. These are cheaply made tights that don't last

06/09/2012I have two pairs of these tights one in ballet pink and one in caramel. I'm ordering more right now! They are really nice. If you are 5" or over get an XL. They stretch and shape so just trust me. if you don't trust me then get a large. But anything under that they won't be as comfortable.

04/06/2012I have washed these tights several times in the regular warm wash and even dried them, and they come out just fine! The wider stretchy hole on the bottom of the foot makes them durable and comfortable. Some of my other tights just have reinforced stitching around the hole, and it cuts in to your foot if it gets in the wrong place, and I have trouble getting them on and off over my foot with my toe pads. These tights are quite easy to get over the toe pads and overall fit quite nicely.
The only negative is that they come up very high in the waistline, but so far, that can be said about all the brands of tights I've tried.
Overall, highly recommended.

04/04/2012Having danced for twelve years, I have been through my share of tights. While needing new tights and not being able to order the most expensive (for the comfort), I purchased these Natalie tights. They are now my favorite pair that I have told all my fellow dancers about as well as purchase five more pairs since. They are my favorite class tights and will be my choice for any shows I participate in. Love love love them- you'll regret just buying one at this cost!

02/14/2012I bought four pairs of these tights due to the low price and I have not been let down. I usually buy capezio transitional tights but these stretch more than those. I normally wear a capezio s/m but I went for a medium and they fit at fit and are a little bit small after washing. No runs in any of my pairs and i have been wearing them for months. But they do get little imperfections easily. Overall GREAT buy.

08/07/2011I have purchased several pairs of these tights in different sizes over the last couple of years, and my girls actually wear them out before they ruin them! Everything else snagged and ran. They wash up nicely, don't ruin easily, and aren't too expensive. Winners!
