Covert Invisible Pointe Shoe Elastic • 1 Inch - A0185

A Little Detail That Makes Your Shoes Feel Yours

The BLOCH Covert 1-Inch Pointe Shoe Elastic is one of those small essentials that earns its place in your sewing kit. Its pink, open-mesh design adds a discreet finishing touch to your pointe shoes, helping hold them in place while keeping the overall look light and understated.

BLOCH Covert A0185 – Invisible Elastic for Pointe Shoes

Often called invisible pointe shoe elastic, Covert has an open construction that allows the skin or tights beneath to show through. The result is a less noticeable band across the foot and ankle, with a pink finish that sits naturally within a traditional ballet wardrobe.

The 1-inch width, approximately 2.5 cm, creates a broad elastic band that you sew into position to suit your foot and shoe. Its job is to add hold; the placement and tension should be chosen with your teacher or pointe shoe fitter so it feels comfortably secure.

Each pack provides approximately 76 cm of elastic, intended for one pair of pointe shoes. Measure your required lengths and allow for the sewn ends before cutting, particularly if you prefer a crossed arrangement.

The Little Ritual of Preparing Pointe Shoes

A fresh pair of pointe shoes becomes more personal with every stitch. Laying out your ribbons, finding your needle and taking time over the finishing details is a familiar pause before the dancing begins. Covert belongs among those quiet essentials you like to have ready when new shoe day arrives.

What Dancers Notice About BLOCH Covert Elastic

Customer feedback mentions straightforward sewing, a discreet appearance and help keeping shoes in place. Some dancers also describe a comfortable feel during wear. As with any pointe shoe elastic, comfort depends on the fit and how the open texture feels against your own skin or tights.

🩰 A Subtle Finish, Sewn to Suit You

A useful choice when you want your pointe shoe elastic to blend into the finished look. The open mesh provides its distinctive appearance, while measuring and sewing it yourself lets you personalise the fit.

Why We Recommend It

We recommend Covert for dancers who care about the small finishing details of their pointe shoes. It brings a discreet look to an everyday necessity and is a useful staple to keep alongside your preferred ribbons and sewing supplies.

Dance World Tip

Measure twice and cut once. Check the position and length on each foot, leaving enough elastic for secure stitching. A little patience at this stage is easier than trying to rescue a section that has been cut too short.
