Pantacollant- The dancing kind.
Ok so I am not sure exactly what the definition of Pantacollant is, but that what it said on the box of these super swank super soft super sexy footless tights.
The first time I saw these on the super cutie pie of a Rep for the Levante line I was jaw dropping at how adorable they looked. I have been eagerly awaiting their arrival and once I saw them sitting out on the table I had to snag me a pair right away!!!!
Tee hee!!!! I am all giddy with glee!
Levante has always been a producer of high end items, and it is no different with these- the quality is outstanding! The material is ultra soft and stretchy microfiber and elastane that hugs ever curve so gently with out pinching or making icky indents in the flesh. The gusset ( or as my sis would say “the whoooooha area”) in these is made out of a thin, yet still sturdy, cotton to make that area more breathable and comfortable. The square silver accent faux buckles that adorn the bottom of the open loops of these is what really appealed to me the most in this footless wonder.There are no actual little diamontes in the buckle ( though it appears that way) The illusion is created with little curved hollow cups that reflect the light. This nifty innovation keeps nasty snags at bay.
Yes the Levante line is a bit more costly, but in the long run these will last you through many many many compliments on successive wearings so pay for themselves.
The only issue I had with these is that they put me in the largest size range… Yup I suppose I am officially a 4XL. There was a whole ton of more roominess/stretch and I am sure they will fit anyone above my 165lbs on a 5′4″ frame quite well. The max on these is 5′ 11″ and 200 lbs. And for those of you on the other end of the scale…there are is 1S whose minimum fit is for 4′5″ and 80. erm…..( there are 2 more sizes in between those) Well at least they will fit a variety of people regardless of the ridiculous sizing labels!
All in all these Dancing Pantacollants are splendiffically wonderful and make me want to put on my lace peticoat and dance dance dance dance!!!!!!!!

Well said Xilia! yeah, it confounded me so much I just put the whole chart up, it’s the first time I’ve done it that way. As much as I love sizing options, I hate the utterly confusing ranges ~%)

The fake buckles look really cute next to the mary jane buckles. Mega cute pictures, as usual! The sizing thing throws me off a bit. That’s a wacky chart.
