A small essential for new shoe day. The BLOCH Covert pointe shoe elastic helps hold your shoes in place with a discreet pink mesh finish. Often called invisible elastic, its open texture lets your skin or tights show through, keeping the band less noticeable alongside your pointe ribbons.

Best For: Preparing pointe shoes • Discreet elastic support • Keeping your sewing kit stocked

• Broad elastic band: The 1-inch width adds hold across your chosen placement.

BLOCH Covert Elastic – Measuring & Sewing

Choose the placement and tension with your teacher or pointe shoe fitter so the elastic feels comfortably secure. Check the length on each foot and leave enough at the ends for secure stitching before cutting.

Dance World Tip: Measure twice and cut once, especially if you prefer crossed elastics. Check that the supplied length covers your chosen arrangement before dividing it into sections.

Construction: Open-mesh stretch elastic
Colour: Pink
Finish: Sheer, invisible-style appearance

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.

Check the elastic and attachment stitches regularly. Replace elastic that is fraying, damaged or no longer returns to shape, and repair loose stitching before use.
