Frequently Asked Questions

Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "true to size". We carry many different brands and sizing is ALL DIFFERENT and can vary from brand to brand and from style to style. We measure all our clothing ourselves, so once you know your measurements, you can order on our website with confidence! All our clothing is measured laying flat (not on a person), and then doubled.

See our help page here on finding your size.

OSFM means "One Size Fits Most". Most of our tights come in this size, and will fit women weighing 90-160lbs.
