Picturesinthefirelight Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Dd has Bloch Silky & Gaynor Minden on the go at the moment (rotated) & she's previously had capezio. The Bloch seem to be the best on the whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna C Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Bloch are good; as are Danskins which we buy from Just Ballet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 DD likes Capezio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballettaxi Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 DD also loves Capezio - purchased from Just Ballet obviously! They're nice and thick and even once they've been used for a while if they get a 'catch' they don't seem as prone to ladder - at least in our experience.

2dancersmum Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Check what size you are in also perhaps. The only time we ever had problems with ladders in tights were as DDs grew - certainly with Capezio - as we advised to switch to small adults way before we expected with elder DD. She was well within the range for the childrens tights but they kept laddering and going up a size stopped the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballettaxi Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That's a good point 2dancersmum - DD is a small 14 yo and wears the smallest adult Capezio's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie3 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Was going to say the same 2dancersmum - go up a size, even if the sizing chart indicates you are wearing the correct size. DD went through a stage of laddering all her tights the first time she wore them - now they last for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahw Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 We have found the Wear Moi ones to be good, also capezio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
