  • Gorgeous Performance Skirt for Swing Dancers

  • Twirls up around you as you spin - but NOT enough to show your, um, underthings!

  • Knit fabric is ridged (like miniature "baby rib")

    Our fabulous Twirly Skirt is copied from a gorgeous handmade 1940's skirt. We've made this skirt for years - but this is our redesigned model... our customers said they loved the design, but didn't want it to come up far enough to show their panties (who can blame them?) - so we changed it to be just as twirly, but a bit more modest because it flares out low on the thighs. If you hold up the edges it looks like bat wings - this is not a circle skirt. There's much more fabric in this beauty. The photo above right is to show that when you're not spinning, the Twirly Skirt looks just like any other. You will feel incredibly feminine in this. It is an absolutely wonderful skirt for dance teams - quite show but still very classy. The edges scallop (they go ruffle, ruffle, ruffle) as you spin.  Because the waistband is elastic, you can wear it high- or low-waisted. The bottom hem should hang (on most) at or above the knee. Fabric is heavy enough to swish nicely when you stop for a break.     Yes! THEY'RE MACHINE WASHABLE!The skirts are unlined and the material is stretchy. Photo at right is what the skirt looks like when flat on the ground - (color of actual teal skirt is a bit greener than in this photo)

  • Gorgeous wide legged Microfiber men's dress pants

  • Great for Swing (and we hear that Salsa, West Coast Swing and Shag dancers love them, too)

  • Three pleats on each side

  • Extra wide legs - 23-24" cuffed bottoms - measures approx. 25-26" around halfway down the leg

  • They are made from 100% polyester microfiber and are totally touchable

  • We usually stock these in several colors - check the dropdown menu at right for availability

    At right is the "silhouette" of these (made by tracing a photograph of the pants laid out on the floor) to show you the relationship between the rise (the length from the waist to the crotch) and the inseam. They are meant to be worn quite baggy in the crotch - so the inseam will probably not match that of your existing dress pants.

    MEASUREMENTS:

    These are made to be worn at or a bit below your waist. (We don't give the inseam measurement because these are long rise pants and you won't wear the same inseam as your jeans!)

    - "M" length has a 14" rise (the length from waistband to crotch) and the entire length is approx. 44-45" (measure the entire length of a pair of your own dress pants if you're not sure these will fit)

    - "L" length has a 15" rise (the length from waistband to crotch) and the entire length is approx 46-47" (measure the entire length of a pair of your own dress pants if you're not sure these will fit) Good rule of thumb: if you have long legs you'll probably fit the L - if you don't, you'll probably fit

Aris Allen Rug Cutter - Black Leather  $79.95

158BK

Size:
Color:
  • Exact copy of a to-die-for early Forties' wedge shoe!

  • OK... not exact... because we added a buckle on the back to make it easier to custom fit your foot! (we think of everything don't we?)

  • Flexible Raw Leather Sole & Nubuck Lined Footbed - great for dancing  SIZING TIPS:

    We've tried these on several dozen dancers and they overwhelmingly found that these run about true to size (if you are a half size you will most likely go up to the next size - 6.5 wears a 7, 7.5 wears an 8, etc.).
    If you don't know your U.S. size we recommend that you use our Sizing Chart to help you make a decision. WIDE FEET: Don't worry, these almost never fit too tight on wide feet. Just loosen the laces.  ARROW FEET: Same thing, these fit beautifully on narrow feet. Just tighten the laces.

    Footbed (inside length) measurements:
    WARNING - DO NOT MEASURE YOUR FEET - measure a pair of open toed shoes that fit you if you want to use these to help fit you. Measurements are approximate.

    NOTE: We only include these measurements because so many people call and ask for the dimensions. Measuring shoes is NOT the way to figure out the correct size.

    If you are worried about fit, feel free to order two pairs and send the one that doesn't fit back!

  • size 5 = 8 7/8"  3 1/8" wide  (fits U.S. size 4.5-5)

  • size 6 = 9 1/4"  3 1/4" wide  (fits U.S. size 5.5-6)

  • size 7 = 9 1/2"  3 5/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 6.5-7)

  • size 8 = 9 3/4"  3 3/8" wide  (fits U.S. size 7.5-8)

  • size 9 = 10 1/4"  3 1/2" wide  (fits U.S. size 8.5-9)

  • size 10 = 10 1/2"  3 9/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 9.5-10)

  • size 11 = 10 3/4"  3 11/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 10.5-11)
