Country Kids Little Girl's Organic Winter tights in Black.My daughter was due for some new tights and I only buy organic cotton for her along with organic food, soap, and everything else. As she is getting older I find it harder and harder to find organic clothing. I prefer to find clothing made in the USA but I will settle for made in Korea since my options are running very slim. Once I received this order in about 3 days from placing it. My daughter saw them and tried them on and absolutely loved them.We are in the process of washing and drying them so I will keep everyone updated on how they shrink and hold up. I will review in a couple of weeks.But. So far, so good. They are nice quality, soft, stretchy and they fit a little big for my 3.5 year old but its ok, she will grow into them and if they shrink they will be perfect.Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.Let me start by saying I love the weight and construction of these tights. Great for colder weather.However, the sizing is all over the place and varies with color. Originally I ordered two pairs (white and red) in size 6-8. The white ones fit fine (though I don't see how they will fit much beyond 6), but the red ones were HUGE (they were roughly 6 inches longer)! I thought perhaps the red ones were mismarked, so I ordered another pair, same issue. Incidentally, the construction of the red pair was also a bit different. So when I needed to order more I went on the assumption that it was actually the white ones that were mismarked and ordered 3-5 instead. Nope. These were smaller than the white pair marked 6-8. So I reordered in 6-8. This time the white and ivory were pretty much exact to the first pair of white I ordered, but the hot pink is bigger. Not as big as the red, but definitely bigger (they are actually more what I expected for 6-8, so not a bad thing). Thank goodness for free returns! I wouldn't have bothered with these again, except I was having a hard time finding a variety of colors anywhere else.So far these have held up well. They are a thicker cotton. I have washed these multiple times and my 6yo has yet to put a hold in them. They are true to sizeQuality is fine, no holes, true cotton tights, however, I knock off a star for these being advertised as "winter" tights, as being from Alaska I strongly disagree. They are thicker than your classic nylon tights, but not thick blend like you might expect from wool. More of a knit cotton t-shirt-like material. They may be warm enough for short jaunts to the car in weather around freezing, but longer periods or lower temps, nope.I really like these tights & they are fairly warm, extremely soft & wash well.My only concern is thru run small & do shrink a bit if you dry them. One pair accidentally got dried & they barely fit now.One of my girls just turned 5 & the 6-8 fits well and will probably last a full year.My younger isn't 2 & the 1-3 is quite tight on her & not overly long (she's 27#).The material is not very durable. I really like the tights, they are not too bulky, not too thin but for some reason they tore the first day my daughter wore them... possibly that unit wasdefective. Not sure I would buy them again. The customer service was really nice though, they replaced the tights since they tore, however, I have to see how long these other ones will last.These were for my 7 and 8 year old daughters. I got a 6-8 for both. They fit the 8yr old perfectly and she's taller than average with a thin build. They bunched a little at the ankles on my 7yr old, who is thin and average height, but we pulled them up a bit and they were fine. Nice warm product with vibrant red color.I have to bleach these every time my granddaughter wears them, which sort of defeats the purpose of buying organic cotton. They seem to collect dirt at the knees more easily than other tights. They fit well and are very thick.Quality!
