Tendu T1046 Stretch Ribbon – Suitability & Fitting

Tendu recommends this ribbon for experienced dancers who already feel secure in their pointe shoes and want more freedom around the ankle. It is not suitable for beginners. Ask your teacher or pointe shoe fitter to check whether the stretch, placement and tension suit your current pointe work.

Dance World Tip: Compare the ribbon with your usual shoes and tights before sewing. Leave enough length for stitching, tying and tucking, and check the tied fit before making the final trim.

Construction: Stretch elastic in ribbon form
Finish: Matte, with a fine textured surface
Colour: Pink; visually a pale peach-pink
Format: One continuous length for cutting and sewing

Supplied as one 2 m length for one pair of pointe shoes. Check the length needed for your own sewing and tying arrangement before cutting.

You will need: Your pointe shoes, a needle, suitable sewing thread and scissors.

Store unused ribbon loosely folded in a clean, dry sewing kit. Avoid sharp fastenings that could catch the surface. Check attachment stitches, cut edges and elastic recovery regularly, replacing the ribbon if it becomes damaged or loses its stretch. Once attached, follow your pointe shoes’ care instructions and allow them to air between wears.
