Tendu Invisible Elastic – Measuring & Sewing

Ask your teacher or pointe shoe fitter about placement and tension. Measure each section with your shoes on, allowing enough length for secure stitching. Plan the pieces for both shoes before cutting.

Dance World Tip: Check that the elastic lies flat and feels comfortable as you point and gently flex your foot. Adjust the length before trimming if it digs in, pulls or feels too loose.

Construction: Stretch mesh elastic
Appearance: Fine, open texture with visible elastic strands
Colour: Pale pink
Format: A cut length for sewing onto pointe shoes

• Cut the required sections and sew securely using the method recommended for your shoes.
• Check both shoes before the final trim, and inspect the stitches regularly.

Keep unused elastic clean and dry, loosely folded in your sewing kit. Store away from exposed pins and hook-and-loop fastenings that could catch the mesh. Check regularly for fraying, damaged mesh, loose stitches or loss of stretch, and replace when needed. Once attached, follow your pointe shoes’ care instructions and allow the shoes to air between wears.
