Berlei Dig-free review & $1,000 giveaway

When Berlei approached me last month with the wonderful opportunity to try out their new dig free hosiery and host a giveaway with $1,000 of prizes for my lovely readers I jumped at the chance! Firstly, I took Berlei up on their offer of a review and went on a shopping trip with my best friend while wearing the Berlei Dig-free stockings to test them out.

We started out on Chapel Street at Topshop and Sportsgirl, then went to the city to shop around in Typo, Novo, Cotton On Body, Target, David Jones, Dotti and Forever New. I wore a pair of the Berlei Dig-free opaque tights in 100 denier. I'm a huge fan of stockings and stay ups, which I wear nearly every day, so was keen to review these. The usual brands I wear are Ambra, Razza Matazz, Voodoo, Platinum, Target and I've also tried various supermarket brands.

I found the Dig-free tights a lot more comfortable than the usual tights I wear as the waistband is made from one large tube which doesn't cut in at the top. Also, there is no front seam so these tights didn't leave that annoying line down my stomach at the end of the day like other tights do.

Berei's Dig-free tights come in two sizes, average/tall and tall/x-tall, so as I'm an AUS/UK size 6 I went with the average/tall. I found the length perfect; they gave even coverage and good warmth and didn't wrinkle at the ankles. Because I'm on the petite side, I found the waistband was a bit loose for me, but the tights still stayed up without any problems all day.

After an afternoon coffee break we ventured into Target to have a look at the new sleepwear range by Arabella Ramsay for Bambi. I love the prints and designs from this collection and think it's a great start to Arabella Ramsay's foray into sleepwear. As you may already know if you follow me on Instagram/Facebook, I snapped up the blue floral pyjama set quick smart!

I'll be sharing my shopping haul in a second post as well as an outfit post in the next few weeks.
