    You can thrift for an XL men's sweater. Cut the sleeves off and wear them as leg warmers!

    I have the stripey ones – they DO NOT STAY UP. Nightmare. The stretch in the fabric was all gone after 3 or 4 wears. Still my favourites though.

    Yup, luvlee, darling's suggestion for discount dance is right. I also saw some on amazon, search "extra long leg warmers." They seem really high quality and are made by KD Dance and they are more expensive. Has anyone tried anything by KD Dance?

    I have the striped ones too… They’ll stay up ok if you tighten the straps that buckle around the thigh. Those are probably my favorites!

    Don’t know how tall you are but I’m 5′ and I love the ones from Discount Dance! I use them for floorwork, stretching, and they are great for lyra!

    Discount Dance leg warmers are cheap and of good quality. I’ve ordered several items from them, either for dancing or for wearing on streets

    I like the discount dance ones as well. I am tall, 5'9" and my thighs are thick enough that I am not able to pull them up past about 6 inches above my knee. I dont really mind this, but its something to keep in mind if you are fairly tall and have big strong quads, as I like to think. 😉

    @Storypole17, which length do you use and where do they come up on you? I'm 5'3" 🙂 Measured my legs and I figured I want something that covers 33" (up to 36" to be bunchy). TIA

    @adAstra: then you might like these if you want them to go all the way to your crotch:

    I'm 5'7'' and have big legs. These cover half of my thighs. They have 27'' and 48'' as well. Hope this helps.

    @adastra yes – the 36. They come all the way up on me and I wear them over my foot or over my shoe if I’m wearing heels :-).

    Thanks Storypole! I found a shop in California that sells online too: https://www.capeziodanceshop.com/leg-warmers-mondor-36-legwarmers

    Those are 36" and are $14.00 + Free shipping to the U.S. They sell them in pink, black, and white. Capezio Dance Shop is PayPal verified too.

    For some reason I have an aversion to stirrups but I hear you can just pull that part up and not wear it that way.  Why am I so picky LOL
