Tendu Pointe Ribbon – Measuring & Sewing

Plan your sections before cutting, leaving enough ribbon for stitching, wrapping, tying and tucking. If you divide either supplied length, finish the new cut edges using the method recommended by your teacher or pointe shoe fitter.

Dance World Tip: Compare the ribbon with your shoes and usual tights in daylight before sewing. Pink shades vary between brands and fabrics, so checking them together helps you choose your preferred match.

• Ask your teacher or pointe shoe fitter to confirm the attachment points and sewing arrangement for your shoes.
• Plan the lengths needed before cutting. A conventional four-ribbon arrangement uses two sections per shoe; allow room for stitching, wrapping, tying and tucking.

Store spare ribbon clean and dry, loosely folded in your sewing kit. Keep it away from exposed pins and rough fastenings that could snag the surface. Check attachment stitches and cut edges regularly, and replace ribbon that is damaged or badly frayed. Once attached, follow your ballet or pointe shoes’ care instructions and allow them to air between wears.
