Where to get this hose/tight/etc???

Ok we went to an ice show a bit ago and one of the pair skaters wore fishnets with crystals....and now we would like to get some for our show number (there are 4 of us ladies). Anyone know where to get this type? I'm insterting a link cause the "insert image" isn't working great (unless it's me and the stupid migraine )

Discount Dance sells tights with rhinestones. They have 2 styles, but both seem to just be rhinestones down the back seam.

They also have a capezio rhinestone tight:

I checked sockdreams and didn't see any....erm, might I suggest lingerie stores and the like? I'll look around the 'net some more later when I have more time.

Wow, those are pricey! If you don't find them, you could consider plain black fishnets at $3/pair from Danny's Warehouse and apply stones here and there yourselves.

I think we might end up doing that, or at least using that glittery glue stuff (cheaper, quicker etc) or spray glitter.

I am certain there are glitter fishnets out there. Thought sockdreams used to have them. Rhinestones, I'm not so sure about. Could also use sequins if doing it yourself...might be cheaper too.

WOW! I LUV the colors! but I look at the sizing and I'm thinking they might not fit right, although we are not 160 lbs we are taller ladies with skating thighs so they need to stretch UP and out a little bit. I'll bookmark the site just in case-maybe we can order one pair as a trial. Thanks, Kat!
ps-just looked at the women's leggings, although they are not fishnets, they are in SIZES and COLORS and FOOTLESS!!! Wow! I might have to get some!

Try Hot Topic, I think they have sparkly black ones. The Halloween stores that are in malls/shopping centers right now may also have something that would work.

Or google for roller derby apparel (there are a few online stores). They may not have rhinestone fishets but they'd have sparkly ones and all other sorts of craziness.

If you're gong the DIY route, I'd suggest gluing rhinestones on regular tights and then wearing plain fishnets over them, so that you'll see the stones through the holes. There is not a whole lot of surface area on fishnets to glue rhinestones, and they'll get knocked off pretty easily even just taking them on/off. If you want to do something directly onto the fishnets, sequins are your best bet because they can be sewn on. (But that would take a long time...)

Wow! Those look awesome! I think that might actually be the best route to take, as I'm thinking that gluing all those crystals on will drive me CRAZY!!!!
