We Love Colors???
I'm on the hunt for girls tights.. thin ones.. like the microfiber etc.
Can't find them online in any of the normal places.. or rather you can find black and white and maybe off white.. but not basic colors like navy or red.. but you can get stripes or flowers  (not that stripes and flowers aren't fun but not in place of basic colors ya know)
And so I did a google search.. and found this place.. oh my oh my oh my.. they have TONS of colors.. we're talking FIFTY ONE solid colors.. in girls tights and women's tights AND in women's plus sized tights.. I could spend a fortune there 
But figured before I did so, I'd see if anyone knows anything about it????

I'm guessing since you've already stomped the internet that you've checked out the selections at Hanna Anderson? Pricey...but great quality and they can be passed along to sisters.
I had never heard of We Love Colors. They look intriguing though.

well actually I didn't because of the price.. it's intimidating when you're looking for 8 prs.

umm yeah.. ouch.. $136 to get them from Hanna.. they only have Navy in the "classic loose tight" whatever that is, the red in the pointelle and the white and black in seveal including the microfiber.
vs $54 at We Love Color.
Though I do agree in general that better quality is a good thing.. sometimes it's not that good.  And 2 of the pairs are for my youngest girl so no passing down that we know of

I've never heard of We Love Color. Did you try Lands End? They can often be found off season for a steal with free shipping. I love Hanna Andersson, but only on clearance  ...

I have a whole order ready at landsend from the overstock but can't find the right combinations of color and size.. and their regular priced tights.. don't even come in the XL now (half of what I need), or in red (another quarter)
Old Navy who also has very good tights for a decent price only have a couple of colors.. hmm white, off white and black I think. They used to have sooo many colors.. I have tons of handme downs from there.. they make it from 2-4 girls, so very good for the price.
I've also checked Kohls, JCPenny, Children's Place, Walmart online, Target online.. thought about checking Sears but their website is incredibly slow and locks up my browser while waiting on it so haven't managed that.

Thanks for posting the site. I don't know anything about it, but I am tempted to order some for myself. I am tall and I have a hard time finding sizes that fit...and in the colors I need.
I have learned the hard way that if you are unsure and trying to make a larger order, get a "sample one". The shipping is flat rate and you would only "loose" $5 if you liked them and wanted to place a second order. That is the only way you can have your test pair worn and washed and check for feel and color, etc, to make sure they will work.
If you do order let us know how it goes...

We have always had good luck with Lands' End, but I have no experience with the new shop, so I can't compare.

Haven't ordered yet Susan, but I am planning on it. It seems like it's about the only place other than Hanna's that carries red tights.
I will definately let you know when i do though.

Jodie...did you find anything in the archives about a place MicheleQ ordered from last year (or maybe a couple years ago ....I thought of it the other day and forgot to post, but she found somewhere that had lots of different colors and I THINK women's and girls. I'll search later......

Jodie,
If you click around a bit there are some bigger options. I just ordered these microfiber tights for my older girls (10 &13).

yeah.. and still no red and none of the size of my oldest girl.. she's in what would be an xL I think.. but it's like a girls 16-18.. the 14's are too small.
Not trying to shoot down your ideas.. it's just what I'm looking for is very hard to find.
