Same happens with me and I'm slim, but I do like the look that it gives to my legs.

There are a pair of leggings for skating on dfo as well. Anyone have them? I think I'd like them, and for $5, that's not bad...

Those were on promotion for $2 a while back, wait a bit, they might have a promotion again! (since the black ones had this pattern, it might appear again, they appear to be pretty consistently having promotions in the last two weeks in a month)

However, since Capezio has stopped making skatewear, I wonder if they'll eventually sell out of these skating leggings and then not offer them again...

I have 2 pairs of the black leggings ("seamless skate leggings"), and they are nice. Not as thick as, say, wooly tights, but good with a pair of lighter-weight tights underneath. They seem really durable, too.

I wish they still had black available- the only ones left are white

I also am going to keep looking for discounts on the beige tights! I wonder if they sold out all the skate dresses, or if they just took them down.

On the shipping . . .if you have more than one location that you could possibly have your order shipped to, try both zip codes and see if there is a difference . . . I found out that shipping to my house (in a rural area) vs. nearby city (where my mom works) was a difference of almost $2!! (and we're only talking a distance of about 20 miles apart!)

oh mom . . . need a small favor . . . !!

White are dyeable, so if you've ever had a hankering for a color other than white, black, or nude, you could experiment with dyeing a pair...
