Frequently asked questions
How do I check if leggings have gone sheer?
Stretch the fabric over your hand against a light. If you can see through, say so — buyers will find out immediately otherwise.
Do leggings hold their value?
Recognised activewear brands do reasonably. Unbranded leggings sell for very little because supply is enormous.
What causes pilling on leggings?
Friction between the thighs. It is the normal wear point and the first thing an experienced buyer looks at.
