Blue Sky
The Super Long Sheer Leggings are exactly that. They’re about 6 feet long and are gossamer gauzy sheer with a tiny bit of sparkliness out in the sunshine.
Seeing as they are so long they take a good amount of time to gather up on your fingers so you can get them on lol and you’ll need to do a bit of pinching to get the ruchedness(not a word ;P) where you want it. Now since I’m 5′ 9″(yes, I just grew half an inch overnight I swear lol Aren’t I too old for that?) I have decidedly less ruchiness(another not word ;D) than somebody would if they were not as vertically endowed.
The waistband wasn’t too tight, I had it folded down to just above my butt so I could wear them with the super low rise skirt I had on, the waistband did go all the way up to my waist otherwise. For the love of not snagging these please file your fingernails smooth lol
One more photo just for fun…

wow! lovely photos there Babylon. I’m thinking maybe the blue doesn’t have as much material to it as the other colours? Even the manufacturer’s pic looks.. not as ruchey. I have a post of these in black that I’ll get uploaded for later.. The black ones were sooooo super long on me. {love that!} I want all the colours of these I love them so much & yea I did get them caught on my nails too. ;)

I have the pink pair too and they’re pretty much the same length, I just think the model is 6 ft tall lol

i have been drooling over these since they were put on the site! i want them so bad. i’m afraid to get them, though. my thighs are…well, wide. so, those of you who’ve tried them - do you think they’ll work on wider thighs?

I think they are really pretty and I love your shoes. Sigh. All of you guys have the best shoes. I dont really like leggings or pantyhose though, as they tend to sag and droop in the top area.

and to shelle: I’m not sure where that extra half inch came from, I haven’t been stretching… I was just standing in the kitchen and looked at my mom and thought she looked shorter than usual, so I thought I should measure my height lol

babylon, you’re absolutely gorgeous! i so envy your hair. we have a very similar complexion but i am currently trying to lose some weight (stupid delicious cakes and cookies :( and you have inspired me to do so! my hair is a lot like yours except shorter and dark brown, but my skin type appears to be almost identical to yours - i just have a pinker tone to my skin due to my scottish roots (irish, scottish, welsh! i could drink anyone under the table ;). anyway, sorry from deviating from those delightful leggings! i doubt they would fit me since my legs overall are much larger than yours. great post, though!

*blush* thank you … I’m more into delicious bacon lol it must be the Viking=love of smoked meat thing lol! I actually don’t eat it very often because cooking it is painful, but anything salty is good too ^_^. My skin tone being more of a warm toned pale probably came from my dad who has light olive skin, think German-looking. I’m Danish, Scottish, English, Polish, German, Irish… and nobody’s sure what I look like lol

I got the pink ones. Perfect for summer when wearing skirts and flip flops and not wanting to go bare legged. Thanks
