Xmas gift custom leotard
The custom leotard and skirt is beautiful. I missed the cut off date for Xmas orders but Imperfect Pointes still got it to me well before Christmas which was very much appreciated.
Am told by my ballerina it is super comfy to dance in also.
Excellent product and amazing customer service - highly recommend!

Outstanding Service and Product!
I am not sure who was assisting me in the online chat but I cannot say enough how impressed I was with the technical support and with the promise that the tights would arrive in time for my flight. Top notch service, I cannot recommend this company and their team enough. The tights will be heading to Stockholm and I hope that you are able to start supplying Sweden soon!!

So glad you love the tights! And we appreciate you taking the time to give us a review - thank you!
did you know that we also sell on Tutulist now so that our US dancers can get their tights on a next day shipping service? as well as saving on international shipping fees
MEN'S PO DELTA DANCE TIGHTS
These were first rate men’s ballet tights, the cut and feel of them is excellent and the colour range is fun (sadly lacking in most men’s ballet wear). They wear really well for class with a good stretch and are very comfortable. Excellent customer service and communication. Highly recommended.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us a review! yes, we agree there's a lack of good mens dancewear. In the New Year we plan to offer even more options and some new colours are coming! Helen x
Loved the tights!
Loved them!
The tights were super comfy and I felt good purchasing them. There’s a lot of fast fashion in dance so it was nice to have a sustainable option.
I got them pretty fast even though I’m in the US, I think I got them in a week and a half, which is pretty fast considering I have bought things over seas before and it sits in US customs for a week. But it was super fast and I loved them! 100% will be buying more.

Helen is so lovely and very helpful
Helen is so lovely and very helpful. My daughter has been wearing IP tights for over 2 years now and wouldn't wear anything else. She loves the comfy waistband. They wash great too and last a lot longer than some other brands.

Check size chart
The tights look and feel lovely but I'm disappointed not to be able to wear them as I thought the largest size would fit me based on the size chart; ladies 16UK 1.6m tall. I understand a 2XL may be available soon.

Dear customer
We are genuinely sorry to hear our best-selling tights were not for you and you found the sizing a challenge. For others reading the reviews, we do have quite a number of dancers who regularly buy our size XL and are a UK size 16-18. They tell us they are satisfied with the fit and also the length of the tights. I really care about making customers happy and it hits hard when we disappoint anyone enough to receive a 1 star review. As agreed privately, we have now refunded you for the unworn pair of tights from the two pack. Thanks for giving the world's first sustainable ballet tights a try! We appreciate it. So sorry again to fall below your expectations.
Best wishes
Helen

Imperfect Pointes is an incredible…
Imperfect Pointes is an incredible independent sustainable dance wear company. I have been looking for leotards that I know will last me a lifetime, and although on the more expensive side, Imperfect Pointes has a broad range of colours and designs as well as sizes for all. I will definitely be purchasing from there again.

The color is beautiful!
The color is beautiful!
The quality is good except for a minor issue, some stitches are loosening with stretch even though I mistakenly did order an oversized number for me.
My size is normally large but this is larger…
Nevertheless, I’m happy with them.
