Size & Fit Advice

The Katherine High Waist Dance Brief is designed to feel secure and flattering without restricting movement. The high-rise waistband sits comfortably above the hips, smoothing the midsection and staying in place through every plié, jump, and floorwork sequence.

It offers a true-to-size fit with a supportive, second-skin feel. If you’re between sizes or prefer a slightly more relaxed fit for long rehearsal days, consider sizing up. The ballet leg line is cut to elongate the legs while allowing full freedom of movement.

Materials & Construction

Made from a soft, performance-ready blend of 78% Polyester and 22% Elastane, this brief delivers the perfect balance of stretch and support.

The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and designed to move with your body, making it ideal for both technique classes and rehearsals. It holds its shape well, resists sagging, and provides a smooth, sleek finish that looks polished both in studio and on stage.

Care information

Use a gentle cycle and mild detergent
Do not bleach

Avoid tumble drying to maintain elasticity

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.
