Who makes the best tights for 3-4 yos?

My daughter is now refusing to wear jeans, and rarely wears leggings. I've just bought a load of boden dresses, pls suggest some good brands of tights that won't fall down like her gap ones do. I have some boden ones on order but I fear they are going to be too big. She is quite slender. She is 4yo.
