you can consult the shoe fitter he/she will probably know where and how to sew the ribbons on perfectly
For pointe shoes, you also need toe pads and toe seperations, and that comes to about sixty dollars or more. The canvas pre-pointe shoes are usually around thirty dollars. Be aware that you have to sew the straps of the pre-pointe shoes. Normal leather ballet shoes can be from fifteen dollars or less to thirty dollars or more.
First of all you need pointe shoes. It's best to get them fit by a professional. Most dance shops sell pointe shoes and they have trained employees to help you out. If you have bunions it is a good idea to get spacer to put between your big toe. You also need some kind of padding. Ask the person fitting you. Bunheads has a lot of good solutions. You need ribbons and elastics. Again you can ask the person fitting you about how to sew them. Your dance instructor will teach you how to tie them. You should keep Band-Aids in your dance bag because you are going to get a lot of blisters! Have fun en pointe! Take it slow...
hi, well pointe shoes can cost anywhere between $50 to $500 it all depends on make, colour, brand, shape and style. If you're a beginner i recommend buying a pair of shoes between $100 and $300 they're usually what you would pay for shoes and are usually very god quality and have wider platforms (the end you stand on) and softer boxes (the hard bits) just research how to sew on ribbons before you buy (it can be difficult) hope it helps! xxeliza
You sew the elastic about an inch or two apart in the heel of the shoe. It should be cut and measured around your ankle ahead of time so you know it won't be too tight or too loose.H______________________________________________________________________One Elastic Band:1) Fold the back of your pointe shoe down.2) Mark the place where the back of the pointe shoe falls.3) Take your elastic and place it at an angle, right where you marked.4) Stretch the elastic to the other side, where your other marking is.5) Sew the elastic in place with enough "extra" on each side (this will keep the back of the shoe on your heel).Two Elastic Bands (Crisscrossed):1) Place the pointe shoe on your foot.2) About 1-1.5 inches from the heel, sew one end of the band.3) Stretch the elastic across the top of the foot to a place on the shoe a little closer to the toes (about 2-2.5 inches from the heel).4) Sew the end of the elastic there.5) Repeat on the other side, starting at the end on the back and moving it forward.6) It should look like an "X" on the top of your foot.
On most pointe shoes there is a seem towards the back of your foot's arch. This is generally the correct placement for you ribbons.

You do a whip stitch. Hopefully, your dance teacher will explain further.

no, you do not. you have to pick up the inside but do NOT go through the outside satin.

the best way to sew on ribbon is actually to NOT cut it but leave it in one long piece that goes under the foot on the inside of the shoe.
To put ribbons on pointe shoes you first need to get the ribbons then make sure you have two even ones other wise it won't work as well. Next to insure that the ends don't fray you can either put clear finger nail polish on the end or burn the end of the ribbons. Next you try to fold the end once so they don't fall off as easily. Lastly you sew them to the inside middle seam of your pointe shoes, try not to put your needle through the satin on the outside. Oh and try to make sure you sew the ribbons glossy side out.
A cobbler is someone who makes shoes. They cut out the patterns from leather and sew them together, then nail them onto the hard shoe bottoms.

They would do a cornrow braid, and sew it onto that.
