NEW Ballet Tights Convertible - Black

Introducing our NEW, IMPROVED BLACK convertible transition tights 

All ballet bodies deserve better tights.

Meet the new Imperfect Pointes ballet tights — redesigned, refined, and relaunched to be the best possible tights for dancers, without compromising on sustainability.

Made in Italy using QNOVA® recycled yarn by Fulgar, these 50 denier convertible ballet tights combine technical performance, comfort, and longevity with genuine eco-innovation. We’ve kept everything you love — and quietly improved the details:

What’s new

• New QNOVA® recycled yarn (by Fulgar) for improved softness, enhanced durability & longevity

• Reinforced convertible foothole with more stretch and zero laddering
  

• Comfort-engineered 'waistband of dreams' subtly refined to sculpt and support  without digging in

• Improved sizing - with XXL added

• Greater supply-chain transparency, working directly with a specialist Italian manufacturer

Why dancers love them

• 50 denier semi-opaque appearance - studio-ready, stage-approved

• No gusset construction (cotton gusset in children’s size only)

• Strengthened Convertible foot opening - wear footed or footless, class to rehearsal

• Smooth, second-skin feel that stretches with you (no bagging, no sagging)

• Flatter seams & reinforced toe for comfort and strength

Better for you, better for the planet

These tights are made from recycled polyamide yarn, helping reduce waste and reliance on virgin materials — without sacrificing performance or aesthetics. Sustainability doesn’t end at checkout either: your tights are designed to be worn, washed, repaired, and ultimately recycled through Imperfect Pointes when they reach end of life.

Seen on stage at English National Ballet and Royal Danish Ballet

Care Instructions

All of our premium dancewear is made using ECONYL® yarn, a 100% regenerated nylon fibre made from nylon waste otherwise polluting the Earth, like fishing nets, fabric scraps, carpet flooring and industrial plastic recovered from all over the world. Through a radical regeneration and purification process, the nylon waste is recycled right back to it's original purity. That means ECONYL® regenerated nylon is exactly the same as fossil-based nylon.

There are no nasties in our packaging. We use 100% compostable packaging to avoid harming the environment. Our mailers are 100% compostable in your garden compost bin, or your household food waste bin. The mailer will breakdown in 3-4 months - not hundreds of years like a normal plastic mailer. Our beautifully designed tissue paper and stickers use soy-based ink and are printed on acid-free FSC® certified paper.

Durable yes? Unbreakable no! Please wash your tights with the utmost care. Think Planet and wash on a cool or handwash setting at 30°C. Avoid fabric softener and never tumble dry
