My daughter has been dancing for three years now and it is very difficult to find tights that are good enough to get through a dance session or two without sprouting holes and dripping. We've been through a lot of tights. She fits size 5t in regular clothes. I ordered these tights in a size 6 (I've learned that it's best to order tights that are nice and stretchy) and they fit her perfectly. She has already taken 3 dance lessons in the same tights and so far so good! No problems with hooks or holes. I think they might just last a long time! I was lucky enough to receive these tights at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion of them. And to be honest I'm very impressed with them and I would definitely recommend them!
