Any luck portia? I was at H&M the other day and no maternity opaque tights this year. I am keen to get another pair too if I can find them easily. Struggling with only one pair at the moment so alternating skirts and trousers to work!!
Definitely saw them at Linea Negra, but I was too cheap to buy them at $160 a pair! Also tried H&M, but no luck. I have ordered an opaque pair together with some other stuff from :: Maternity Wear, Children's Clothes & Nursery Products :: JoJo Maman B?b? ::, but haven't actually got them yet. (BTW, if you order from this website, I think they use DHL on orders over GBP100, but they use airmail on orders under GBP100 which works out a lot cheaper if you can wait! Best to check with their Customer Service as the info is not on their website.)
I am going to try at B2B at lunchtime and will let you know. I might also try buying a larger pair of ordinary tights as I think that might actually work. It hadn't occurred to me to try on my regular pre-preggo tights until Obiwan suggested it, but I did and they were only a little small, so a size or two bigger might be okay.

Thanks portia. Would be interested to hear about B2B. Last time I looked they only had some pretty naff sheer ones. I agree with you on $160 a pair being a lot especially when you only wear them for a short time. I don't have much longer to go (baby due Jan) so might just solider on with the one pair I have!

B2B only had 20 denier sheer tights at $95 a pair. I went to M&S and bought some 40 denier opaque tights in XL size ($195 for 3 pairs). XL is good for up to 48" around the hips. I had no problem getting the tights over my bump and they are comfortable but I'm quite short. It might be a problem to get the tights over your bump if you are tall.

Thanks for the update. I might just try one pair from M&S just in case as I am tall! Am struggling with my sole pair at the moment.

M&S=Marks & Spencer?
Wait, Marks & Spencer has a maternity section now? I've been in three times and never seen anything like that .... what floor? or is it a "section" the size of the two-foot rack in Zara IFC?

And I was not keen on what they had at M&S either. H&M maternity still wins hands down.
The M&S maternity section used to be on the main floor which you enter from Queens Road.
