Some children's clothes are bought for a single day: a birthday party, a spring photo, a recital, a holiday dinner with relatives who will take pictures. The SweatyRocks Girls' Heart Fishnet Tights are that kind of purchase. They are a full-footed, open-knit tight in cream or white, patterned with vertical columns of small hearts, and they cost $9.99 for one pair.
The buyer is usually a parent or relative dressing a child in a skirt or dress, not the child choosing for themselves. The questions that parent has are practical. Will these fit my child's legs, from waist to toes? How see-through are they? Will they survive a party and a wash?
This listing answers the first question only roughly and the other two barely at all. What decides it is whether your child sits comfortably inside one of four wide size bands, and whether you are comfortable buying on 12 ratings and no written reviews. If the answer to both is yes, the heart pattern is a nice detail at a low price. If either answer is no, read on before you order.

What these tights actually are
The product title calls them "Heart Hollow Out Stockings Sheer Fishnet Thick Tights." That is five descriptions in one line, and they do not all agree. A fishnet is an open diamond mesh. A thick tight is opaque. These are neither, if you go by the photos.
Photos tell a different story: a fine, open knit. Narrow columns of small hearts run down the leg, separated by columns of tiny eyelets and openwork diamonds. The effect is closer to a pointelle or lace knit than to a fishnet, and closer to sheer than to thick. You can see skin through the pattern in every shot.
Elsewhere, the listing adds to the confusion. Here is how each part of the page describes the same pair.
| Where on the listing | What it says |
|---|---|
| Product title | "Hollow Out," "Sheer," "Fishnet," "Thick" |
| Features bullet | "Hollow out, heart graphic, see through, girls tights" |
| Item Highlight in the detail table | "Cable Knit Footed Tights, Kids Dance Pantyhose Stocking" |
| Detail table, Pattern | "Solid" |
| Detail table, Weight Class | "Lightweight" |
| Detail table, Color | "Beige" |
| Photos | Cream and white open knit with columns of hearts |
Read the photos and the Features bullet, and you have the honest description: a lightweight, see-through, open-knit tight with a heart pattern. "Thick" and "cable knit" do not match what is shown, and "Solid" refers to the single color, not the surface. "Beige" in the table and cream in the photos are probably the same shade under different names.
That last point matters for coordinating. If you are matching a cream dress, the photographed shade will look right. If you are matching a true white, the white pair photographed under a tulle skirt is the closer choice, but the detail table only names Beige, so check which colors the listing offers when you order.
The knit and the fiber
The detail table gives a precise fiber line: "95% Polyamide,5% Spandex." Polyamide is the generic name for nylon, the standard fiber in hosiery. The 5% spandex adds stretch, which matters a great deal here because the measured sizes are small and the tights have to stretch over a child's leg to fit. The second bullet calls the material "soft and comfortable," and the listing says nothing else about hand feel.
Listed item weight is 0.04 kg, about 40 grams for the pair. That is light, in line with the "Lightweight" weight class, and it confirms what the photos show: this is not a winter tight. Air moves through every eyelet and every heart. The Item Highlight mentions "Spring Fall Winter," but an open knit adds very little warmth on its own. In cold weather you would want it over a solid tight or under long boots, or you would want a different tight altogether.
That pattern is the reason to buy. Columns of hearts read from a distance as a vertical texture and up close as a sweet detail. Next to a gingham skirt, as the photos stage it, the effect is quietly dressy rather than costume-like. A fishnet would look edgier, which is not what most parents want at a first communion or a spring party.
Full-footed
Full-footed is stated in the fourth bullet ("These full footed tights"), and the photos confirm it: the knit continues into a closed foot. There is no stirrup or footless option in this listing. Full-footed means the tights can be worn with ankle boots, flats or Mary Janes and will look finished in all of them.
It also means your child will be walking on the knit. The listing does not mention any grip on the sole, and nothing in the photos suggests one. On a polished floor at a party, a nylon foot without grips can be slippery in socks-only play. That is worth keeping in mind for a toddler in the 1-2Y size, who is the most likely to kick off shoes.
Fit and sizing, translated
The description gives a measured size chart, and it is the most useful part of the listing. SweatyRocks notes that "This data was obtained from manually measuring the product, it may be off by 1-2 CM," which is honest. A centimeter or two is well under an inch.
| Size | Length | Waist | What the numbers mean |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-2Y | 15.4 in | 13.4 in | Toddler size; same waist as the next size up |
| 2-6Y | 19.7 in | 13.4 in | 4.3 in longer than 1-2Y, same waist, covers four years of growth |
| 6-10Y | 22.0 in | 14.2 in | 2.3 in longer than 2-6Y, 0.8 in more waist |
| 10-14Y | 22.8 in | 15.0 in | Only 0.8 in longer and 0.8 in wider than 6-10Y |
These are measurements of the tights lying unstretched, not body sizes. The listing does not say whether "Waist Size" is measured flat across or around, or whether "Length" runs from waistband to toe or along the leg only. What the chart does let you do is compare one size with another, and the comparison raises two flags.
The 2-6Y band is wide
A single size covers ages two through six. A two-year-old and a six-year-old are very different heights, and both get the same 19.7-inch tight with the same 13.4-inch waist. With 5% spandex, the fabric will stretch to cover a range of legs, but the child at the bottom of the band will likely see loose knit at the ankles and knees, and the child at the top will stretch the pattern open. In an open knit, stretching changes the look: the hearts widen and the gaps grow.
If your child is right in the middle of that band, four or five, this size is the safer bet. If they are a tall six or a small two, think hard before ordering.
The top two sizes are nearly the same
The bigger concern is at the top of the range. The 10-14Y size is just 0.8 inches longer and 0.8 inches wider at the waist than the 6-10Y size. In other words, a 14-year-old is sold almost the same tight as a 6-year-old, with less than an inch of extra fabric in each direction. The detail table also lists "Size: 14 Years" and an age range of "Big Kid," while the Item Highlight says "6-14 Years." All of that sits on a single 22.8-inch length.
Think about what that means for an older child. Between six and fourteen most children grow a great deal in leg length, and the tight has to cover that growth with stretch alone. We would treat the 10-14Y size as suitable for the younger and smaller end of that band, and we would not buy it for a tall teen without measuring first. The listing's own first bullet pushes you to do exactly that: "Please refer to the Product Measurement in image before ordering(not amazon's)."
Between sizes
With only four sizes, many children will fall between two. For a dressy open knit, sizing up is usually the gentler mistake, because extra length bunches at the ankle where a shoe hides it, while too little length pulls the crotch down and stretches the pattern open across the thigh. Sizing up is not free: the waistband grows only 0.8 inches per step in the top three sizes, so it should still sit well, but the 1-2Y and 2-6Y share a 13.4-inch waist, so moving between those two only adds length.
The smallest size
The 1-2Y size deserves its own note. It is 15.4 inches long with a 13.4-inch waist, the same waist as the 2-6Y. Children in that range are often still in diapers, and a diaper adds bulk at the seat that a tight has to stretch over. The listing does not mention any extra room in the seat or a gusset, so the only allowance is the 5% spandex. If your toddler is in a bulky overnight diaper or a cloth diaper, the 2-6Y size gives the same waist and 4.3 more inches of length, which may sit better over the seat even if it bunches a little at the ankle.
For a toddler, the open knit has one more practical side. Small toes and fingers can catch in larger openings. The photos show small eyelets rather than wide gaps, so this is less of a worry than with a true fishnet, but it is another reason to check the pair on arrival before the event, not on the morning of it.
Planning for the day
Because these tights tend to be bought for an occasion, timing matters as much as size. One pair is one pair. An open knit that snags on a shoe buckle at the start of a party has no backup, and the listing sells singles. If the day matters, order early enough to exchange a size, and consider a second pair, or one of the multipacks in the comparison table further down, as a spare.
Dressing them
The fourth bullet suggests pairing them "with dresses, skirts, shorts, and ankle boots," and the fifth lists "casual daily, dance classes, parties, family outings, holidays and more." Most of that is reasonable for a see-through knit. Under a skirt or dress they look finished. Under shorts they turn a summer outfit into a cooler-weather one without adding much warmth.
Two looks are staged in the photos. The cream pair sits under a pink gingham skirt. The white pair sits under a full white tulle skirt.
Tulle is the look to note if you are shopping for a flower girl, a recital or a holiday photo. White on white with a texture gives a soft, finished line from skirt hem to shoe. The gingham look is everyday-dressy: a school event or a weekend lunch.
Dance class is the one suggestion we would question. The listing does not say these meet any studio's requirements, and many classes ask for a specific style and color of tight. A see-through heart knit is a party tight first. If your child's class has a uniform list, check it before treating these as a dance tight.
Care and how it holds up
The care line is two words: "Machine Wash." There is no temperature, no drying instruction, no word on bleach and no mention of a laundry bag. For an open knit, that is thin guidance. Open knits catch on anything with a hook, and in a washer the hooks are zippers, bra clasps and the hook side of hook-and-loop fasteners on kids' shoes and jackets.
A mesh laundry bag and a cool wash are cheap insurance for a delicate knit, and air drying avoids heat on the spandex. None of that is required by the label. It is simply the sensible way to wash something with hundreds of small openings in it.
We cannot tell you how these hold up after wear. No buyer has written about runs, pilling, a stretched waistband or a lost shape. That is not evidence that the tights are durable. It is the absence of evidence either way.
What buyers say
Very little, and that is the honest headline. The listing carries 4.7 stars from just 12 ratings. The star histogram shows 81% five stars, 5% four stars and 14% three stars, with no one- or two-star ratings. With a pool that small, each rating moves the percentages a lot, so a single three-star rating is several points of the chart.
There are no written buyer reviews, no buyer excerpts, no topic counts and no buyer photos on the page. We have nothing to quote. That means none of the usual questions (does it run small, does the waistband roll, do the hearts look like the photos, did it ladder at the party) can be answered from buyer experience.
What we can say is that nobody who rated these was unhappy enough to give one or two stars, and that the 14% three-star share is the closest thing to a reservation. With 12 ratings, we treat the 4.7 as a good early sign, not a verdict. A listing with a hundred ratings and the same average would carry far more weight.
How it compares
We searched for girls' heart tights and pulled the closest results. Some are plain or fleece tights rather than open knits, which is useful context if you are unsure that a see-through knit is what you want.
Prices, ratings and monthly purchase counts as shown on Amazon search results on November 14, 2026. Highlighted rows are the products reviewed here.
Two of the lace fishnet listings in the table rate 4.7 and 4.5 stars from 100 and 110 ratings. That is the same or a similar average to SweatyRocks from roughly eight or nine times as many buyers, which makes their numbers more trustworthy. Two listings are multipacks: a three-pack of lace tights at 4.6 stars from 45 ratings, and a three-pack of heart tights for 6 months to 6 years at 4.7 stars from 32 ratings. If you are buying for a younger child and want spares, a multipack changes the math.
The fleece-lined thermal tights at 4.5 stars from 667 ratings are a different product, but they are the answer to the warmth question. If your plan was to keep a child warm in winter, an open knit was never going to do it, and that listing has the deepest rating pool in the table.
Size range is the other difference worth checking. The heart three-pack stops at 6 years, so it only competes with the two smallest SweatyRocks sizes. For a child of eight or ten, SweatyRocks at least names sizes up to 14 years, while the other titles in the table do not state an upper age at all. Check each listing's own size range before you compare stars, because for an older child, whether a size exists may decide it for you more than any star average.
On price, the table shows live figures. SweatyRocks sells one pair, so compare per pair, not per listing.

Who should buy them, and who should skip them
Buy these if you want a pretty, see-through heart tight for a specific occasion, your child sits comfortably in the middle of one size band, and the low price makes a single outing worth it. They suit a dress-up day, a spring photo or a holiday outfit, especially in cream with a gingham or floral skirt or in white under tulle.
Skip them if you need warmth, since an open knit at about 40 grams for the pair is not a cold-weather tight. Skip them if your child is at the edge of a size band, and particularly if they are a taller older child who would need the 10-14Y size, because that size is less than an inch bigger than 6-10Y. And if you prefer to buy on the experience of many other parents, twelve ratings and no written reviews will not give you that.

Verdict
The SweatyRocks heart tights look lovely in their photos, and the one thing the listing gets right is the measured size chart, which lets you check length and waist before you buy. Everything else is thin. The title and detail table describe the same pair as fishnet, cable knit, thick and solid, the care line is two words, and the twelve buyers who rated them left nothing in writing.
We recommend them for a single dressy occasion if your child fits the middle of a size band and you are happy to measure first. We don't recommend them if you need a warm tight, a dance-uniform tight, a size for a tall older child, or the reassurance of real buyer reviews.
Pretty, cheap, and sized with a wide brush
The heart pattern is sweet, the price is low and the few buyers who rated it mostly gave five stars. But the listing calls the same tights fishnet, cable knit and solid, the four sizes cover thirteen years of growth with very little room between the top two, and twelve ratings with no written reviews is not much evidence.
- Columns of open-knit hearts that read as dressy over a skirt or dress
- Full-footed, 95% polyamide with 5% spandex for stretch
- Four sizes with a measured length and waist for each
- Low price for a single pair
- Only 12 ratings and no written buyer reviews to check fit or wear
- Listing contradicts itself: fishnet, cable knit, hollow out and solid
- The 6-10Y and 10-14Y sizes differ by under an inch
- Open knit is see-through and will not add much warmth
Best for: A parent buying a dressy, see-through heart tight for a party, a photo or a holiday outfit for a child in the middle of a size band.
Skip it if: You need warmth, a dance-class uniform tight, a size for an older or taller child, or proof from other buyers before you order.
