Customer Reviews
Marc********glas
Love the feel—buttery soft and true to size—but the gray pair pilled *hard* after first wash (even gentle cycle + mesh bag). Also, the waistband stretched out after 2 days of wear, so she kept tugging. Shipping was fast (2 days!), packaging cute, but quality inconsistency is real. Gave the second pair to my sister… hoping hers holds up better. Sad face emoji only because the potential is SO there.

Took my 4yo to storytime at the library—she sat criss-cross-applesauce for 45 mins and whispered ‘my tights are whisper-soft’ 🥹. No rolling, no riding down, no knee holes after crawling. The ribbed texture adds subtle chic, not babyish. Ordered Mon, got Wed—tracking updated hourly. Even the tape on the box had little stars printed on it. This isn’t apparel—it’s *vibes*, delivered.

Great for daycare drop-off—soft, opaque, and held up through snack time + nap time + playground sprinting. But the black pair faded slightly after 2 cold washes (not noticeable unless side-by-side). Still comfy AF and she calls them her ‘magic leggings.’ Shipping was solid (3 days), and the box smelled faintly like vanilla—adorable touch! Would buy again, just maybe stick to darker colors.

My niece wore these under her Halloween costume (little unicorn 🦄) and didn’t complain *once*—no itching, no slipping, no ‘Auntie, fix my pants!’ chaos. Fabric feels luxe but washes like a champ (tossed in cold, air-dried, still looks new). Package arrived with rainbow sticker + ‘You’ve got this!’ note. Made my whole week. Sending pics to my mom group ASAP.

Adorable on my toddler during park playdates—super stretchy, stayed up through full-on monkey-bar marathons & mud-pie sessions. Slight snag on one seam after 3 weeks (tiny, not safety-issue), but customer service sent a replacement *same day*. Love the matte finish—not shiny or plasticky. Just wish they came in more prints! Still giving 4 stars for comfort + vibe.

Bought for my 6yo’s gymnastics class—honestly? Game-changer. No bunching at knees, no static cling (RIP every other brand), and she said ‘they feel like cloud hugs’ 😭. The fabric breathes but holds shape like a dream. Got them Tuesday, arrived Thursday—UPS dropped it right on the porch with zero fuss. 10/10 would re-up before her next meet.
Pol*******oll
Wore these tights for my daughter's ballet recital rehearsal—SO soft, zero waistband roll-down, and the high-waisted fit kept everything *chef's kiss* in place! She twirled like a tiny disco ball 🌟. Shipped faster than my coffee order—got them in 2 days with a sweet handwritten note. Obsessed doesn’t even cover it. Already eyeing the lavender pair 👀
