Sueños de Libertad
Antena 3 · Diagonal TV for Atresmedia · since 2024

Our tights dress the leads of Antena 3's daily series, set in 1958 Spain — the knit and sheen of the period, on screen every afternoon.

Medias Puri
Plaza de Tirso de Molina, 1 · Madrid

Madrid's clandestine club hides behind the window of a haberdashery. We like the coincidence: we dress the cabaret that carries our trade in its name.

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions:
How do I choose the right size?+

Choosing the right size of tights is key to ensuring comfort and a good fit. To get it right, it's important to consider your height and weight, since both affect how the tights fit your body. At Cecilia de Rafael, we have a detailed size guide that will help you find the option that best fits you and prevents wrinkles, excessive pressure, or slipping.

What kind of tights are best for a party?+

For party looks or special events, we recommend pantyhose with refined finishes and a more sophisticated design. Shiny, patterned, or leather-look pantyhose are ideal for pairing with dresses and elegant outfits, as they add a distinctive touch without sacrificing comfort. It's also important to choose the right level of opacity based on the style of your outfit and the occasion.

How should you wash your tights so they last longer?+

To extend the life of your tights, it's best to wash them gently. Ideally, wash them by hand or on a gentle cycle, using a laundry bag and avoiding high temperatures. It's also best not to wring them out and to keep them away from rough surfaces or items that could snag the fabric. Proper care helps preserve their elasticity and original appearance for longer.

What is the difference between opaque and sheer tights?+

The main difference between opaque and sheer tights is the level of coverage. Sheer tights provide a light, natural finish, ideal for more subtle or elegant looks. Opaque tights, on the other hand, offer greater coverage and are perfect for those looking for a more even appearance, extra warmth, or a bolder style. The choice depends on the look, the season, and the effect you want to achieve.

Cecilia de Rafael silk scarf

“The quality of Uppsala tights is simply unmatched. The glossy satin finish highlights any outfit, and the back seam is incredibly elegant. Highly recommended.”

Elena M. (Barcelona)

“The New Zafiro 50 has become my everyday tights: truly opaque, wonderfully velvety to the touch, with a waistband that neither digs in nor shows under clothes.”

Sofia G. (Madrid)

“The silk scarves have vivid colors and an incredible touch. Aura di Lusso has quickly become my favorite accessory of the season.”
