Classic ballet knitwear, with a more polished point of view.

The BLOCH Emilia Cable Knit Zip Jacket is an elegant warm-up layer designed to sit naturally over leotards and high-waisted studio separates. Its textured cable knit brings softness and dimension, while the cropped silhouette keeps the overall shape light and beautifully proportioned.

Made from 100% cotton, Emilia combines traditional warm-up comfort with the practicality of a full zip front. Wear it closed while warming up, open it between combinations or style it beyond the studio with leggings and everyday layers.

Best For: Ballet warm-ups • Rehearsal breaks • Travel to class • Studio layering • Everyday balletcore

BLOCH Emilia Cable Knit Zip Jacket – Design & Warm-Up Details

Part of BLOCH’s Opulence collection, Emilia combines a textured knitted body with cable-knit detailing along the sleeves for a refined finish that remains easy to wear.

The full zip fastening makes the jacket simple to layer and remove as the body warms. A neat ribbed collar brings soft structure to the neckline, while coordinating ribbed cuffs and hem help maintain a comfortable, secure shape.

The longline cropped cut finishes around the waist rather than extending over the hips. This keeps the dancer’s line visible and works naturally with high-waisted leggings, shorts and warm-up trousers.

Finished in versatile Grey Marle, Emilia pairs effortlessly with black dancewear, ballet pink tights and soft neutral studio layers.

From Barre to Off-Duty

At the Barre: Zip Emilia over a leotard and ballet tights for comfortable warmth that keeps the dancer’s line visible. Open or remove it easily as the body warms.

Complete the Opulence Look: Pair it with the coordinating BLOCH Elena Cable Knit Flared Pants for a polished head-to-toe warm-up set in Grey Marle.

Off-Duty: Add black leggings, a fitted top and trainers. The cable-knit texture creates a softer, more elevated finish than a standard zip jacket.

Dance World Fit Tip: Emilia is intentionally longline cropped rather than full length. It is designed to define the waist and pair with high-rise dancewear, not to provide full hip or seat coverage.

Why We Recommend It: A beautifully considered warm-up jacket combining the familiarity of traditional ballet knitwear with the convenience of a full zip and a cleaner contemporary silhouette.

Choose your usual BLOCH ladies’ dancewear size for the intended fit. Use your bust measurement as the primary guide, followed by the waist.

If you are between sizes or prefer more room for layering, consider the larger size.

Always follow the care instructions printed on the garment label.

To help protect the shape and texture of the cotton knit:
Wash gently at a cool temperature
Reshape while damp
Dry flat rather than tumble drying
Avoid hanging for prolonged storage
Store folded in a cool, dry place
