These were seen by me recently in my local TKMaxx. Since the stores tend to have similar stock, you will probably find much the same in your local branch.
I did not buy anything on this occasion – I nearly did, though. I found a pair of patterned opaques – beige background, fine black pattern like a vine. The softness and silkiness of the tights was amazing. They reminded me most in texture of Levante Brillante opaques but with a stunning pattern added. They were not in a packet, and originally I thought that they were part of the Emilio Cavallini range, though in truth they were better quality than any EC that I have seen. That would have made them £2.99, and they seemed to stretch quite a lot, so I decided to buy them. There was indeed an empty EC packet nearby, so I slipped them in.
However as I looked further I realised that they were not EC at all, but Oroblu, and the product name was Chasma. This put them in the £13 reduced to £3.99 category – an even better bargain! Unfortunately the correct packet (which I found) indicated that they were only size S. They did not look small, but I decided I could not risk it. But they are a lovely design and super feel.
The picture does not really do them justice, but it is the only one I could find. (Remember that the ones I saw were beige, not blue.)

I really like your color scheme here! Yellow and green, that works well for
you. I'm going to see what my comment looks like when it shows up -- thx
for your help on the Blog-City forums!
Update on the previous entry:
I have tried them on, and do you know, they just about fit! No way are
these size small. I would say that they are size large, the second largest
size. And no, I haven't taken a pic of my legs in them. And if I do, it
will be in the private pages!

My 22 year old was going out clubbing today. She was wearing some lacy net
tights with a black flowing skirt, and a dull greenish gold top. She was
not sure about the tights, and asked me if they went all right. I said they
were fine, but if she wanted an alternative I had just the thing. I offered
her the Oroblu Chasma tights, which would have complemented her outfit
nicely. And they would have kept her legs a whole lot warmer than open knit
nets.
Finally a picture of these lovely Oroblu Chasma tights as worn:
The model (my friend Ash) is 5'10" tall and the tights fit perfectly,
with a bit of stretching as you put them on. Comment: "Well, they are
different!" You can clearly see the border stripe, which goes down the
outside and inside of the legs.
