I haven’t done Liss Kiss for a while now, so I am pretty excited to review this pair as part of my Christmas Countdown! I decided to try a new style out (one I haven’t done before) to keep myself cosy this week. I’ll give all the deets further down in the blog.

The Packaging
Getting Them On: so these were a pretty easy glide up the legs this morning. I did my scrunch and roll, just taking care going over my anklets, and then it was just a roll up. I did have to stop and adjust the reindeer parts to make sure they were as even as possible before I set them in place.
On The Legs: okayyyyy… so I have a fair bit to say about the quality but I’ll get to that part in a second. Let me first take a moment for the design; this is cute. I haven’t seen a design like this before, and paired with a mini skirt or something flowy, these would look awesome. I love the heavy print at the bottom, working to reindeers and then a simple sheer base on top.
Now the quality LACKS here! Usually Liss Kiss aren’t too bad, but I did find that there were one too many markings on the sheerer element for my liking. These were ones you can’t seem to remove either by rubbing or pinching away, which sucks if you’re showing off the whole design (luckily my dress is hiding it all today). The bonus element is that I didn’t get any rips or snags during my wear, but I am disappointed in this hot mess going on over my thighs.
The fit of these are true to size for me, and there was plenty of elasticity to it to achieve even leg coverage. I suppose the more you stretch them out, the sheerer they become which isn’t a bad thing – but I prefer how dense these look.
The feel of them are soft, and pretty smooth to touch. It allowed my jumper to glide right across them today with no issues. These don’t irritate the legs either, so you can be in them all day without worrying about itching away.
The Toes & Ankle: the toes have no reinforced toe to them, which is a shame but then you have a thicker denier to work with here, so they’re kinda ok in a sense. I had plenty of wiggle room for my toes to breathe, and no pressure was added during my wear.
Around the feet and ankles, I had a smooth, wrinkle-free finish, which I was happily surprised about!
The Waistband & Gusset: so I am working with a boxer brief here, where it starts from the top thigh all the way to the band. I have to say it isn’t the most nicest feeling, but it does a job I suppose.
I am super pleased these don’t come with a double backseam either, as they are so uncomfortable to wear!
The band itself is stretchy, and does hug the waist well. The only issue I had is it kept rolling down on itself the whole day. Once it started, it did not stop!
These come with a cotton gusset, that sits flush against the skin too.
My Thoughts?
Overall not a bad pair, but this isn’t one that I would invest in long term; the holidays are just fine. I was pretty disappointed in the quality of them, but the design is super cute!
