Size & Fit Advice

One size to measure and sew: approximately 76 cm long × 2.5 cm wide.

• Ask your teacher or pointe shoe fitter to confirm the elastic placement and arrangement for your shoes.
• Measure on each foot before cutting, allowing enough length for both sewn ends. Check the total needed if using crossed elastics.
• Check both shoes and all stitching before dancing.

Use alongside the ribbon arrangement recommended by your teacher or fitter. Elastic is a finishing adjustment for correctly fitted pointe shoes.

BLOCH Size & Fit Advice

BLOCH sizing varies between dancewear and footwear styles. For garments, use actual body measurements rather than everyday clothing size wherever possible. For shoes, use measured foot length as your starting point and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Tip

For BLOCH leotards and other fitted dancewear, girth is particularly useful because it reflects the full length of the torso. For children's garments, use age as a reference only and prioritise actual body measurements whenever possible.

Before Choosing Your Size

Take dancewear measurements over underwear or close-fitting clothing using a flexible tape measure. For shoes, measure both feet while standing and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

Bust / Chest Measure around the fullest part of the chest, keeping the tape straight and level.

Waist Measure around the natural waist, usually the narrowest part of the torso.

Hips Measure around the fullest part of the hips and seat, keeping the tape level.

Girth Start at one shoulder, measure down the front of the torso, through the crotch and back to the same shoulder in one continuous loop.

Foot Length Measure from heel to longest toe while standing. Measure both feet and use the longer measurement as your general starting point.

BLOCH Fit Guidance

BLOCH produces footwear for many different dance disciplines, so there is no single BLOCH shoe conversion that accurately predicts the fit of every model. Ballet, jazz, tap, character, contemporary, dancesport and studio shoes can all use different fitting recommendations. Use the international shoe tables above as a reference only and always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice shown on the individual product page.

Dance World Fit Note BLOCH size charts and Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a guide only. Fit can vary depending on body proportions, garment design, fabric, stretch, foot shape, shoe width, construction and personal preference. Where an individual BLOCH product carries its own sizing recommendation, that model-specific advice should take priority.

Best For: Pointe shoe preparation • Ballet classes • Rehearsals • Performances • Preparing a new pair

Description

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.

A Discreet Finish

Open mesh keeps the elastic visually subtle beside your pointe ribbons.

Fitted for Your Feet

Measure and sew each section to suit your own shoe preparation.

One Pack, One Pair

A practical pre-cut supply for preparing a pair of pointe shoes.

Ready for New Shoe Day

Keep a spare pack with your needle and thread for your next pair.

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.

BLOCH Covert Elastic – Product Highlight

🩰 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.
