Product Insights
Mondor's Black Semi-Transparent Capri Legging, at $20 CAD and in stock, is a dance layering essential made in Canada at the brand's historic Quebec mill with in-house knitting, custom dyeing, and hand inspection. The 85% nylon, 15% spandex 40 denier fabric stretches freely but becomes sheer under tension—a tradeoff mitigated by correct sizing via the height/weight chart to prevent premature sheerness. Designed for layering, the capri is lightweight and elongating, but the see-through effect during squats and darker outer thigh are inherent. Mondor evolved from a 1955 taxi driver start to become the official clothier of the Royal Academy of Dance and a market-leader in figure skate and dance apparel since 2000. At this price, it undercuts Eurotard and Bodkini's regular prices. To extend life, wash inside out in cold water with mild detergent and hang to dry.
Verified claims
- Brand story
- From taxi driver start in 1955 to official clothier of Royal Academy of Dance.
- Durability
- Made at Mondor's historic Quebec mill with in-house knitting, dyeing, and hand inspection.
- Endorsements
- Official clothier of the Royal Academy of Dance and sponsor of the Genée International Ballet Competition.
- Opacity
- At 40 denier, the capri is semi-transparent; opacity decreases when stretched, such as during a squat, and it may become more see-through.
- Fabric behavior and fit
- 85% nylon, 15% spandex 40 denier fabric stretches freely but becomes sheer under tension
- Price comparison
- At $20 CAD, it undercuts Eurotard and Bodkini's regular prices.
- Brand authority
- Official clothier of the Royal Academy of Dance; made in a Canadian vertical mill.
- Sizing
- Use Mondor's height-and-weight chart: Small fits about 4'11"–5'4" and 95–115 lb, Medium about 5'2"–5'7" and 115–135 lb, Large about 5'4"–5'9" and 135–155 lb, and X-Large about 5'6"–5'11" and 150–175 lb. When measurements fall between sizes, choose the larger size to prevent over-stretching and premature sheerness.
- Care
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild liquid detergent; avoid bleach, granular detergents, and fabric softener; hang to dry immediately after washing.
- Layering
- The lightweight 40-denier capri is designed primarily for dance and light athletic activity, and its semi-transparent finish also suits layering and everyday casual wear.
- Made in Canada
- Made in Canada at one of the country's last remaining textile mills.
- Brand reputation
- Official clothier of the Royal Academy of Dance and market-leader in figure skate/dance apparel since 2000.
- Elastic waistband
- The capri has an elastic waistband and is a simple pull-on with no zipper, drawstring, or closure; hanging to dry after washing keeps the waistband structurally intact through repeated washes.
- Value comparison
- At $20 CAD (about $14 USD), this capri undercuts the everyday prices of similar microfiber capris from Eurotard and Bodkini, beating Eurotard's clearance price; the buyer gets a specialist dance brand's product below the cost of generic dancewear alternatives.
- Snag prevention
- To keep the 40 denier knit from catching, wash it in a fine-mesh laundry bag and store it folded or rolled in a drawer away from zippers, Velcro, and sequined garments.
- Hand washing and black finish
- For the black semi-sheer legging, hand washing in tepid water without wringing best preserves color and elasticity; machine washing can expose the hosiery to lint that dulls the black finish.
- Capri length suitability
- The capri ends mid-calf so the foot and lower leg stay bare, making it suited to barefoot jazz and contemporary dance classes and warm-studio sessions; it does not replace footed tights for a ballet-shoe class.
- Durability vs finer sheer tights
- At 40 denier, this knit sits at the durable end of the semi-sheer band and absorbs everyday chair edges, bag straps, and thigh friction better than 10–15 denier tights.

| Black Semi-Transparent Capri Legging: Choose this if you want a form-fitting, semi-sheer black capri legging: it is a 40 denier knit in 85% nylon and 15% spandex with an elastic waistband, a straight-cut hem just below the calf, and no cuffs or elastic bands at the hem. The fabric has a subtle sheen and shows skin tone slightly at the inner thigh and behind the knee, so it suits wearers comfortable with that translucency. It comes in four sizes (small to extra large) and is made in Canada by Mondor, a brand described as dominating high-performance figure skate and dance apparel since 2000; it requires gentle care, washed cold inside out with mild liquid detergent and hung to dry.[1,2,3,4,5] | Black Semi-Transparent Legging: Choose this if you want a black, mid-calf cropped legging with a lighter, semi-sheer look: it is a 40 denier style in a stretch nylon blend (85% nylon, 15% spandex) with an elastic waistband and a narrow hem band, and it is made in Canada. Its thin knit is semi-transparent, with skin tone faintly visible through the fabric on the thighs and knees when worn, so it suits those seeking a sheer finish rather than full coverage. It comes in black only, in sizes small through x-large.[6,7,8] |
