there are some cottelli tights I want to buy. I’m 6.1 feet tall, 33.07 inches waist diameter and 35.04 inches hip diameter. There are only 2 sizes for this particular model: S/M and L/XL
I’ve never bought tights. Only considering my height I should (maybe?) buy L/XL, but I want the tights to be tight around my thighs and bottom (and all along my legs). If the brand’s sizing chart is correct, a L/XL would leave too much fabric hanging (skinny legs), but if I buy S/M, tights might be too short.
Tights are 100% Nylon, no spandex. I neither know how much nylon expands, if any.
I cannot try on and return it if it doesn’t fit: tights are sold inside a simple one use plastic packaging, meaning if I open the package to try the piece on I have to rip the packaging, meaning I cannot return it.

You buy the really expensive ones that come in “tall”.
You could try a dance store, as there are often tall and thin dancers that need tights regularly. The staff is often helpful too, and can order in if they need to.

Tall and skinny, order Tall Small. Usually have to special order.
Tall and thick, for some reason, they call that Tall Queen...
Least what I noticed when my wife was shopping and she's 5'11"

I don't have anything to contribute, but I'm pretty sure I have a very similar build to you and would also like an answer to this question.

Get the small and if they’re not long enough you can cut off the feet and have flood tights.
