Leg Avenue French Cut Dahlia Lace Tights with Net Thigh Detail

Dahlia lace through the leg, open net at the thigh, and a french cut where the two meet. The change in fabric partway up is the whole design: dense floral lace below, wide net above, so the leg has two textures instead of one.

Because the net section sits at the thigh, these read best under a short hem where the transition shows, or with lingerie on their own. The lace below is fine enough to wear with a work dress and boots, which means one pair covers daylight and after dark. Black keeps the floral from reading as costume. Roll them up the leg from the toe rather than dragging from the waistband, so the pattern lands evenly on both legs, then hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.

A single pattern from ankle to waist is the standard and it is fine. Putting two weaves on the same tight gives the leg a line to break at, which is a far more considered piece of design than most hosiery bothers with.
