Amy Pond Tights Breakdown

[alisseia]

Because Amy is such a fan of tights and people are sometimes a bit confused / hesitant on which colour to get, I figured I'd make a list of which ones are which colour and which brand they are.

So here goes.

Hot damn the kissogram tights are back in stock! When I checked Topshop a few weeks ago they weren't. I'm pleased as I do think those are the accurate ones. (FYI they are called Cuban heel tights)

Those chevron tights are a really good match (and I believe they're black, but whatever). I got a pair from Express that look like these:

Ah, thanks! I'll add the actual style of tights to the breakdown.

I got a black pair due to the filming shot - and also the shop only had UK 16-18 in stock in the black colour which is a bit huge for me.

And that's what I figured, as I remember you posting that somewhere but didn't have a picture of it.

Dear God, will those be hard to find with the correct stripe placement.
Thus far I've found these -

But the darned stripe placement is off.

Thank you!

What do you think should be used for River Song Let's Kill Hitler first outfit? I'm having a hard time deciding what to get!

I'm going to go with either the 50 denier or the 120. It depends on how sheer or opaque you think they are. [I can't tell that well from the photos, but I'd go with the 120.]

50: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=477193&langId=-1&categoryId=&parent_category_rn=&searchTerm=08Q02RBLK&resultCount=1

120: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&productId=803999&categoryId=918760&parent_category_rn=918746

Hope that helped a tad!

I thought the Curse of the Black Spot tights were the American Apparel Opaque Tights in Sangria.

The TopShop Cerise ones are essentially the same colour and I just figured since a lot of them looked like TopShop [notably TEH and LKH] those may be from there as well.

I'll never know for sure, though, so they very well may be.

[alisseia]

All-righty! May have found a closer match for the Night Terrors tights.

They come in two colours that may work - Silver and Grey.

Grey - http://www.pamelamann.co.uk/tights/modal-rib-tights-grey-marl/2591/

Silver - http://www.pamelamann.co.uk/tights/modal-rib-tights-silver/1435/

Tell me what you think!

This is a great resource! May we the mods link to this on the user info page with the other breakdowns, please?

[alisseia]

Certainly! I wasn't sure if it was all that useful, but I'm glad to know it is.

[magic_and_stars]

I've linked it again, but some of the pics are broken. :(

[alisseia]

Woops - sorry. I haven't had time but I was just thinking about fixing that. c:
