Some time ago I read an article in a blog about French Knickers and Tap Pants. The blog-owner asked, why they have disappeared from womens lingerie, even if the´re beautiful and also comfortable.
I think, the answer ist easy:
- Try to wear tights OVER them. I don´t use tights made of synthetic fibers, but I can imagine what a mess it will be. And I think it´s not much better with winter-tights made of cotton. And it´s the same with leggins.
- Forget about wearing them with skin-tight trousers. The legs will roll up and they will show underneath the pants. Apart from pinching and squeezing….
But thats no reason, to give it no chance. You can always wear them in summer underneath skirts, dresses and in winter under vast pants. And if you have tryed it for once, you will appreciate the benefits.
Which are:
- Very easy to sew, even for beinners.
- You can choose every kind of fabric or color, no matter which color or style is “in”. (Just one restriction: The fabric should be not too bulky)
- The style-choice is yours . Vintage, luxurious, simple, with some lace and ribbons…Whatever you want! It´s all about your personal taste.
- Easy to wash and iron, if you chose the right material.
- They´re very, very comfortable!
- Warm in winter underneath vast pants and the choice of the leg´s length is yours too….
