Grimoire Verum tights

Hello everyone,

I am loving this print tight trend more and more but I kind of was late to it for fear that they wouldn't fit people my size. I have been told more than once by other lolitas who came into contact with their tights that Grimoire Verum just wouldn't fit me.
Still I loved their designs so much and they were just so much my style that I finally got the courage to order some and see for myself.

These are the tights I'm reviewing and comparing:
#1 Innocent World angel tights
#2 Juliette et Justine cross tights
#3 Grimoire Verum vitrail tights
#4 Grimoire Verum musee...  tights
At first glance they looked the same, the length is the same and the material is also the same. It's very soft when new but when stretched becomes a bit rough to the touch.
When the tights are new the print is very clear and clean but after wearing it once the lines between the print are white which is what makes the print look less clear while worn.

As you can see all the pairs look exactly the same on the inside, the seams are the same
and the little tag on the inside is also the same.
The width of the tights is also exactly the same when stretched once.
Here you can see the "lines" I was talking about more clearly.
The length and the edges and finish of the tights is also, as you can see,
exactly the same in all of them.
In terms of durability. They are obviously durable considering they are tights, they are thick and they can be stretched without fraying but don't forget that they are still tights and tights will never last too long especially if you are on the tall or wide side. The stretching does ocassionally produce "white areas" in the tights that will no longer look like they did originally with use. I've worn my jj green tights about 5 times (out, not just for photos) and they already have a spot that is white in the right foot (check the photos carefully and you'll see it).

Here's what you were waiting for. I'm going to try to help out the best I can by providing my measurements (please note that these might not be 100% accurate) so you can compare your size to mine and check how they look when worn.


Hips: 112cm
Leg length (from foot to hips): 47cm
Full height: 170cm
Calf circunference: 37.5cm
Thigh circunference: 51cm


So let's see how they look on someone my size:
#3 Grimoire Verum vitrail tights 
#2 Juliette et Justine cross tights

#1 Innocent World angel tights

#4 Grimoire Verum musee...  tights
Obviously the print is a lot clearer in the foot and ankle area than on the thighs area. I think its pretty clear on these shots so if your calves are as wide as my thighs then these might not look so nice when worn but they will still fit. If all you care is that they'll fit then you'll be fne. (they still look nice as a color mixture, just not so nice if you're into crisp prints).

As you can see the print is very clear in the feet and ankle area and then starts to lose definition. 
This is still not my max width thigh area but as you can see the print on the top is pretty much gone.
You can also clearly see the white lines in between.

And that's it, I really hope this was helpful since more than one person asked for it. If there's anything I didn't cover please just ask here and I'll do my best to help out.
With love,
Jo

    1. No problem! I am just very happy that they do fit afterall and hopefully girls like me who never know if something will fit or not will be able to judge better for themselves with this info.
      I don't think you'd have a problem with that though :P

    1. Thank you, its annoying that i picked stuff that's the same color though, they're pretty similar. the only pair that's different is the other jj pair of cross tights that i got in ivory. -_-;
      No problem, i hope it helped people decide on wether they can or not get a pair.

  3. Hello jo!

    De facto ja reparei que andas numa de printed tights, a meu ver apesar de serem lindíssimos e terem prints maravilhosas *que nas minhas fat legs iriam ficar com blur haha* e super detalhadas a mim não me despertam muito interesse infelizmente e até porque acho que para os coordenar correctamente sem ficar "buzy" requer skills que eu não tenho mas que tu tens de sobra!

    Anyway fico contente pelas tuas new buy's!
    Many hugs;
    Fla.

    1. Tu não tens fat legs, que irritante fla!
      Eu acho que não dá para coordenar sem ficar busy a nao ser com vestidos quase solidos mas eu gosto de busy. Busy is fun!
