Chest-High Hosiery

Spanx Creates 'Tight-End' Tights that Reach New Heights

— September 9, 2009 — Unique
The leader in control-top hosiery, Spanx has empowered women everywhere with the confidence that comes from feeling slim and trim. They’ve done it again with their Tight-End tights.

The Spanx Tight-End tights are high-waisted to not only slim your butt and thighs, but also slim-ify your entire torso and stomach - perfect for smoothing away bumps and bulges under dresses, skirts, and high-waisted pants.

But, there’s a price you have to pay in the name of fake skinny-ness: that would be wearing a body-glove undergarment that basically goes up to your bra. According to the New York Cut blog, however, the Tight-End tights feature a waistband that is soft and flat to prevent “pinching or awkward rolls."

Great! Because, of course, I’d only want “un-awkward” rolls…
