These tights are much thicker and stronger than my daughter's other tights. The material is dense, soft and elastic. She wears a 3T and the 3/4 fits her perfectly leaving some room for growth to be true to size. They are also much easier to put on as the thickness of the fabric makes the foot area more durable. They are definitely less see through than typical tights - in fact they are almost opaque for my 3 year old because she is so slim. My daughter says they are very comfortable and I hope they will last as they are well made and good quality.
