I tried the convertible black tights during my work at the barre in the ballet class and on pointe shoes with and without the feet and… it was wow!!!
The tight is a glow and a lovely hug for my legs and really underline the lines of my legs without bumps in the waist.
The feeling is cotton-like and they gives me the feeling that my legs are not sweating during my ballet classes. In the next class I’ll try the pink ones and send you some more pics!!!
Love 💝💝💝💝💝

Hi Sara!!!
Thanks for taking the time to give such wonderful feedback.
So glad you loved the black tights, your legs look amazing. We especially love the photo of you with the piano because we love what a multitalented dancer you are!
So excited for you to try the pink tights, keep the photos coming.
Much love,
Layla (customer service)
I found the tights so comfortable! They are incredibly soft and you don't even feel like you're wearing tights. They are also extremely flattering :)
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much Shannon for leaving us such a wonderful review and beautiful video! We are delighted you love our tights as much as we do :) Thank you for shopping sustainable and supporting our journey.
Love, Charlie x
So happy to find tights in my size that doesn’t get more or less see through because of my thunder thighs😂 The quality is great, and they feel absolutely amazing. I’m so happy with this purchase, and will absolutely recommend these to everyone! Especially us dancers with thighs and hips that struggle to fit even in the largest sizes other brands have! I’m so grateful I found this site, I’ll for sure purchase from it again
Honestly so glad you brought these black tights back - can’t believe I missed a pair of tights so much - I’ll upload a pic when I get into the studio
Thanks Helen & team
Store owner replied:
Thank you so much for your kind words, Rebekah! The New York Times agrees with you, it recently voted the Black Tights that we use to make our ballet tights, as some of the top tights in the world. We are quite proud of this! Helen xx
Perfect fit, lovely material, absolutely love dancing in them!
Store owner replied:
thanks Rebecca - the Black tights are so versatile aren't they? So glad you're loving dancing in them!
I love imperfect pointes tights !
They are my favourite go to brand-I never wear pink tights anymore as I always had a love hate relationship with them so cannot speak for those, I’m sure the IP ones carry the same amazing quality as the other colours.
I order the bronze and also the black tights for class and performances and love them so much not only are they made from sustainable fabric but the waistband is soo comfortable and not too tight.
I definitely recommend these tights to all dancers and also dance teachers who want that smart professional look for an exam or teaching, buy Imperfect you can’t go wrong!
Store owner replied:

Frequently Asked Questions
What size ballet tights should I order?
We recommend sizing by height and weight rather than clothing size. Our tights are designed with dancers in mind — check our Ballet Tights Size Guide for a precise fit. If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable wear during long rehearsals.
Are your convertible tights suitable for pointe work?
Yes — our convertible tights are designed to work seamlessly with pointe shoes. The opening at the toe allows you to slip the fabric back without removing your tights, making them ideal for class and performance.
What recycled materials do you use?
Our tights are made from recycled nylon — primarily sourced from pre-consumer textile waste. This significantly reduces the energy and water used in production compared to virgin nylon, without compromising on the performance or feel dancers expect.
What is your tights recycling scheme?
When your Imperfect Pointes tights reach the end of their life, you can return them to us rather than sending them to landfill. We partner with specialist recyclers to give the fabric a second life. Details on how to return your worn tights are on our Tights Recycling Scheme page.
What is your returns policy?
We offer a 21 days return policy on dancewear and tights
Leotards and mens tights - we are only able to accept returns on unworn dancewear. As a small business we need to be able to resell items that come back to us. We cannot accept items that are marked or have been worn for class.
