Nouvella Cotton Capri
Opaque, sleek and totally comfy—just like the longer Nouvella Cotton Legging, but now knee-length! Made in the USA.
Fiber Content: 90% cotton, 10% lycra.
Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Reshape, lie flat to dry.
Sizing Tips: Small: 5'0 to 5'4", 100 to 120 lbs, calf cuff stretches to about 16 inches. Comfortably fit 37 inch hips and 19 inch thighs, could have stretched a bit more, even. They weren't to long for 28 inch inseams.
Medium: 5'2" to 5'6", 120 to 135 lbs, calf cuff stretches to about 18 inches. Comfortably fit 40 inch hips and 23 inch thighs. They weren't too short for 32 inch inseams,
Large: 5'6" to 5'10", 135 to 175 lbs, calf cuff stretches to about 18 inches. Comfortably fit up to 45 inch hips and 27 inch thighs, this size varied most in where the cuff hit—always below the knee, but how high it was on the calf really depended on thigh circumference and inseam.
Extra Large: 5'4" to 6'1", 176 to 198 lbs, calf cuff stretches to about 20 inches. Fit 47 inch hips and 32 inch thighs comfortably.
&Please note: We've found the Charcoal and the Plum tend to run a noteably shorter in the leg than the other colors, but they're super stretchy (the XL fit up to 55 inch hips and 42 inch thighs in these colours!) and softer than the other colors. We also don't think they're as opaque as the other colours, so you might want to buy a size up for more opacity.
They do hit us all in that perfect capri-area—above the curve of the calf and below the knee.
Additional Info: There is a single seam in the front and rear, with an inner leg seam that we didn't notice when wearing. The covered waistband is seen in the image for the Brown in Small.
The black is indeed a true black, images appear lighter merely to show more detail. Other shade variations between images of the same color are due to differing lighting.
Label: Nouvella
I like Sock Dreams, because they have a really good vetting process on what they carry, and provide real-life size specs.
