I have the best, most talented and outstanding friends anyone could ever dream of. Except now I have to learn how to walk with my legs drawn (pun not intended) together all the time.

How did your friend get the images on the tights? Hand-painted or ironed on? I'm really interested in decorating my own tights, but I'm not sure how acrylic fabric paint will work - if it has enough stretch. Thanks!
Actually, it's silkscreen printing; I don't think you can get that kind of quality and detail with acrylic fabric paint. They're from a friend who worked at some kind of fashion workshop where they produced printed tights like that ^^ Sorry for not being able to help, but good luck with decorating yours, though! What kind of motif did you want on them?
I've always wanted to learn silkscreening, so maybe I shall set myself to it, finally. This Etsy site has some really fun and/or elegant designs that I'm fond of. I love swirly bits: http://www.etsy.com/shop/tattoosocks I purchased a pair of white thigh-highs where one of them has the octopus on it, but they're a bit out of my price range to buy all the ones I want. (Isn't it always that way?)
They're brilliant, aren't they? I just hope I won't get a run in them too soon, I don't have much luck with tights in general and they never last me very long ;____;
Tain au début j'ai cru que tu t'étais fait tatouée et j'étais "o____o" parce que ça rendait super bien XD quelle excellente idée en tout cas, je trouve ça génial, tes amis sont très doués !
Hahahaha, nan, j'ai aucun tatouage sur le corps et je compte bien continuer comme ça; le concept même de marquer ma peau à vie me stresse plus qu'autre chose ^^ Mais ouiiiii c'est trop bien des bas customisés Sherlock, c'est grave la classe! Ils me viennent d'une amie qui a bossé dans un atelier de sérigraphie pendant quelques semaines, et j'ai même pas eu à lui suggérer de me faire Sherlock et John, elle y a pensé par elle-même et elle a eu raison: rien ne m'aurait fait plus plaisir je crois! *hopeless fangirl*
I thought at first they were tattoos! The only thing going on in my mind at the time was "Holy shit. This girl is so hardcore. So fucking hardcore. This girl does NOT fuck around. Holy shit. Wow. Hardcore." In a continous reel, over and over again. But then I saw the green version, and my heart calmed down a little. :)
I'm so silly!
Although if you did get those as tats, it would be, like, Holy shit. So fucking hardcore.
HAAAAAHAHA, dude, I'm hardcore, but definitely not like that; tattoos really aren't my thing, and yeah, I'd totally go through great lengths for slash and I'm a complete stan, but I don't think I'd go there XD Hypothetically though, if I'm to get a tattoo with Sherlock and John, I'd probably choose one of pollums 's drawings, no doubt.
