Add a little comfort to ballet days with the BLOCH Girls Wrap Top BU501C. Its classic crossover front and long sleeves create a soft layer over a leotard, ready for warm-ups and the quieter moments before and after class. Back ties let you adjust the fit, while the short, waist-length shape sits neatly with a young dancer’s ballet outfit.

Best For: Ballet warm-ups • Before and after class • Layering over a leotard

Why Young Dancers Love the BLOCH BU501C Wrap Top

• A soft extra layer: Cotton-rich stretch fabric adds comfort over a leotard while waiting for class or getting ready to head home.
• Keep the ballet bun tidy: Untie and slip off the wrap without pulling a jumper over carefully pinned hair.
• A familiar uniform partner: Plain White and a traditional crossover shape coordinate easily with ballet leotards and tights.
• Part of the getting-ready routine: Practise tying the bow together at home, then pack the wrap beside the ballet shoes for the next class.

BLOCH BU501C Cotton Fabric & Crossover Design

Made from 90% cotton and 10% elastane, this girls’ ballet wrap top combines a soft cotton feel with flexibility. Overlapping front panels create a V neckline, and the ties fasten at the back to adjust how closely the top sits around the body.

The long sleeves cover the arms, while the waist-length body provides a neat layer across the back. Its simple finish keeps the focus on the classic ballet shape and makes it easy to wear with an existing class outfit.

White fabric coverage can vary with stretch and the colour of the leotard underneath. Check your dance school’s uniform guidance for when a warm-up top may be worn during lessons.

BLOCH Girls Wrap Top Fit & Parent Guide

Try the wrap on over your child’s usual leotard. Settle the crossover panels comfortably, then fasten the back ties in a secure bow without drawing the fabric tightly around the body. Younger dancers may need help arranging the panels and tying the bow.

Ask your dancer to reach forwards, open their arms and lift them overhead. The top should feel comfortable through the shoulders and underarms. If it pulls, loosen the ties and check again; the adjustable fastening should complement a comfortable overall fit.

Pair with a ballet leotard, tights and the shoes required for class. Keep it close for the journey, waiting time and rehearsal breaks, adding or removing the layer as needed.

Dance World Tip: Practise putting on and removing the wrap before a busy class day. Learning where the ties sit makes changing easier and helps keep that finished ballet bun intact.

Fabric: 90% cotton, 10% elastane (spandex).

Soft cotton-rich stretch fabric with long sleeves, overlapping front panels and ties at the back.

Designed to layer over a leotard. The White colour may allow the shade underneath to show, depending on fit, stretch and lighting.

Choose using the BLOCH children's size chart and your child's measurements; age labels are an approximate guide.

Try the top over the leotard it will be worn with. Check the chest, shoulders and sleeve length, allowing comfortable arm movement.

The back ties adjust the fit around the body, but do not change the sleeve length or shoulder fit. Younger dancers may need help fastening the bow.

Machine wash cold and lay flat to dry.

Follow the care label supplied with the garment. Wash with similar colours and gently reshape before drying.
