Russian Pointe Stretch Ribbon

For someone with sensory issues, this ribbon is fantastic. Its thin but not too thin, and gives lots of stretch so no issues with hurting my achilles. Its softer than the Bunheads stretch (that one is stiffer and a tinch wider, feels more strudy though so great if you're beginning at pointe and need more support at the ankle). I feel like I can really move when I use this, having said that, if you are new to pointe try using this on one side, and one side of reg satin ribbon because it can feel wobbly/unsupported when you're new and use something really stretchy all over. The color is a muted nude, much like the RP shoes, not leaning to salmon or peach like bloch ribbons. Its very pretty and blend into ballet pink tights very well.

Ever since I started using them, the Russian Pointe stretch ribbons are the only ones I will sew my shoes with. The color blends in beautifully with my tights, and the elastic quality makes for a very clean without any gapping or bunching.

I don't know why a shop that sells a lot of RP shoes doesn't carry the matching ribbon, but these are not easy to find. The price here is much better than on Amazon, too. My daughter likes how they match her Russians perfectly and says they are sturdier than Bloch's sheer stretch ribbon, which is what she uses when she can't have these.
