BLOCH Girls Layla High Waist Shorts – Design & Everyday Wear

The broad ribbed waistband sits high around the waist, providing comfortable coverage without fastenings or drawcords. Its textured finish adds gentle definition to the otherwise smooth Black design.

Flexible stretch fabric follows the dancer’s movement without creating loose material around the legs. The regular short length provides practical coverage while keeping the legs free through pliés, extensions and energetic combinations.

A no-front-seam construction creates a smoother, more comfortable finish. The simple pull-on shape also makes Layla easy for young dancers to put on and coordinate independently.

Product Highlight

🖤 Secure High-Waist Coverage, Everyday Versatility

A wide ribbed waistband, flexible fitted fabric and smooth no-front-seam construction make Layla an easy and dependable short for busy classes, rehearsals and active dance days.

Main: 86% nylon, 14% elastane
Contrast rib: 75% nylon, 25% elastane
Wide stretch ribbed waistband

Layla has a close, high-waisted fit with a regular short length. Choose using the child’s current waist and hip measurements rather than relying on age alone.

The wide waistband should sit level and securely around the waist without rolling or feeling restrictive. The legs should fit smoothly while allowing comfortable movement through pliés, kicks and floorwork.

Wash with similar dark colours on a cold, gentle cycle. Turn the shorts inside out to help protect the smooth fabric and ribbed waistband.

Allow to air dry naturally and avoid tumble drying, bleach or direct heat. Always follow the garment care label where its instructions differ.
