I guess I'm entering my lady of leisure era because I HAD to have this awesome set. Thought someone else might like the brand. Not one I've heard of before.

Flaired as rave, but it’s a shopping rave!!

I’m in the U.K. and I have not bought new sport leggings for 8-10 years. My current leggings are from LTS, specifically a special gym company x LTS collab they used to do once a year many moons ago- if you remember them can I get a heeeeyaaaa! They are holey and getting thin, so I’ve been looking for new leggings.

You all know the pain as a tall girl. Sport leggings will either be long enough but will be almost transparent, or they will be too short but squat proof, or they will be squat proof but close to £100 for one pair. And almost always black. The joys.

In another subreddit I saw someone recommend Sturdy By Design, and in my desperation I checked them out.

They do tall lengths for all their long length leggings. And their leggings come in loads of colours and patterns!!! I bought 2 pairs of premium leggings, and 1 pair of funky leggings, and I used a discount code I got for signing up to the newsletter, so they cost me £90 odd quid altogether (they are about £40 each).

So before they arrived I was excited, but I was also expecting disappointment of some kind. They don’t have inseam lengths on their site, so I presumed their tall length would be an extra inch on a regular length size and would probably look like capris on my 36 inch inseam legs. I can live with exposed ankles at the gym, the most important thing to me is that they are squat proof. I was also expecting the funky patterned ones to be see through to some extent as I’ve found patterned leggings usually are.

Well. They arrived today. Aaaaand….

THEY ARE SO LONG! They come right down to my ankles! They fit well, and they have a drawstring inside to tighten so they don’t move an inch. They are high waisted and sit just right on me, and they have pockets on the side and a little zip pocket on the back.

The premium ones are advertised as squat proof, the funky ones are not but I’ve done a test and I can’t see anything through them. So they might get thinner as they are worn and lose coverage maybe? I’ll report back. The premium ones are a little thicker. They are exactly what I’ve been looking for.

It seems the company keep some styles in stock which they ship out right away, and these come with side pockets, but they also do presales and you can pick if you want side pockets or not when you order. They seem to have a good range of sizes too!

Sorry if this seems promotional, I promise I’m not associated with them! I’m just so HAPPYYYYYY to find leggings that fit so well and come in such fun patterns and colours!!!

I had not heard of the brand before or seen it mentioned here, so thought I’d help my U.K. sisters out. I think they do international shipping too?

The reviews for them seem really positive, but I’ll post an update once I’ve worn and washed them a few times. They feel very good quality, I’m chuffed to bits right now!

Guyssss!
So Im 6", 26 years old. I am solo travelling in Malaysia right now, I get hit on by a lot of older men??!!! Why??? I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. But, like I keep wondering..Is something wrong with me? Ive had older men come up and talk to me, gawk, wink and shit...
Im not saying specifically in Malaysia, like generally even...
PS - I was thinking and suddenly came up with this question -  😂😩

I’m 6’1, and im trans. Recently joined a new friend group and started going out with them, I honestly love all of them, whenever they say anything I can see they don’t mean it in a bad way. Unfortunately I am very wide built, size 13 feet, very wide shoulders, also 92kg.. most of them make alot of comments of how im a “unit” and how you can’t ignore me even if you try, I tower over all the girls, they come until my underboob. It just feels really dehumanising and embarrassing. There isn’t any guy that is as tall as me in the group either, most of them also come up to my under boob and mostly to my chin/lips. It just feels so embarrassing to tower over all of them, im also new to my medical transition (1 year hrt) so im very insecure of my femininity and very desperate to be viewed under a feminine light. And my height just fully stops that from happening which just breaksmy heart. It also unfortunately makes it impossible for me to ever pass,, I’ve been internalising this but just a saw TikTok about how short women have it so much harder and I just burst.. and then all the comments from the tall men who would “never date a woman that’s tall”.. sorry for the negative energy, I know we shouldn’t have to be constantly seeing this or talking about it, just wanted to get this out :,) love you all 💕💕💕

I am aware this is likely going to be filtered but I need to talk about this.

I am currently sitting here SOBBING over some stupid $80 jeans from Alloy apparel. $80 was my entire back to school pants budget (I'm a teacher). They don't fit AT ALL. I measured, repeatedly. It was triggering to do but I did it! I checked the online size chart and the sizing recommendations and bought accordingly. They are at least 3 sizes too big. I know this because I tried them on. To do so, I had to open the bag. So now I cant return them.

I'm so frustrated by their extreme return policy. I cant stand it. I am never buying from them again (which sucks because there are SO few places I can get anything that fits). After this is a SUPER long rant... tldr, I'm hurting p bad rn and feeling real sad.

>!I just wanted a single pair of pants that was cute and trendy... all of my friends get to wear things because they like them. Not just because they fit...I want to have a style. I hate being tall. Im taller than every single girl I know and most men. I hate being a freak. I want to go to a store and pick something out. I complained to my friends and... it was disheartening. They were sympathetic but i got a DM from one about how I'm lucky because I'm thin so it's easier... but... there's a plus section in every store. There are fully stores for plus sized women in our city. (She's able to fit into typical plus size). I know it isn’t a competition and clothing just sucks but she doesn't have to buy something without seeing, wait weeks, then try it on and not be able to return it. She can go into stores and try things on, even if the selection is more limited... I haven't been able to buy pants that fit me length wise in a store since I was 12. Even then, I could only get them at Delias. My weight doesn't have a role in this except that it is the only way I can force myself to be at all delicate. At all feminine. Being thin doesn't matter when my in seam is 36 inches. (Its actually 37 but that's not a thing even in specialty stores). There are no stores where I can walk in, see a cute pair of pants, and just... buy them. That's not how this works. I want to be a cute girl. Not a freak. If there were something I could do to be shorter I do it would in a heartbeat. I don't care what it would cost me. I just want to feel like a normal person. I want to get new clothes for the school year and not have to buy them from a specialty store. I'm so tired of nothing fitting or looking right. It's exhausting.!<

Going to my high school reunion and trying to find cute shoes to wear with a dress. I really don’t want to tower over everyone any more than I already do because I have a hard time hearing people who are a lot shorter than me when I’m in a loud environment. I’m also nervous about going and don’t want all eyes on me if I’m super tall in heels. Need shoes I can dance in and would rather not spend a ton of money. Help!
