Aris Allen D2220 BW Swing Dress
#D-2220-BW Shown
  • Adorable dress for swing dancing
  • Low collar is quite sexy and has a scarf-like tie at the bottom
  • A-line design and mock-forties sleeves make it a perfect swing dance dress
  • Knit fabric hugs your body like a baby tee - hand washable

We fell in love with this dress - it has a very form fitting a-line construction.

It has no zippers or buttons - just pull it on.

The collar/tie seems to be sewn on a bit uneven so that when you make a bow the ends hanging down are uneven.

The bottom hem should hang (on most) at or above the knee.

Yes! THEY'RE HAND WASHABLE!

The dress is unlined and the material is stretchy.

  • They are made from 100% polyester and are very nice quality - you will not be disappointed

MEASUREMENTS:

NOTE: We purposely do not list the inseam measurements on our cuffed styles because these are made to be worn lower in the crotch than modern dress pants, so they will not match the pants in your closet! All measurements are approximate.

"M" LENGTH - 1.5" cuff
made to fit men of average height.

  • Rise: 14.5" (the length from waistband to crotch)
  • Entire length: 43-44"
    (measure the entire length of a pair of your own dress pants if you're not sure these will fit)

"L" LENGTH - 1.5" cuff
made to fit men who are tall or have long legs.

  • Rise: 15.5" (the length from waistband to crotch)
  • Entire length is approx 45-46"
    (measure the entire length of a pair of your own dress pants if you're not sure these will fit)

"UNFINISHED BOTTOM" - no cuff
means that there is no cuff or hem, so you need to have them tailored, but can make them custom fit with any size cuff or hem you like.

  • Rise: 15.5" (the length from waistband to crotch)
  • Entire length is approx 54"
    (measure the entire length of a pair of your own dress pants if you're not sure these will fit)

Aris Allen Shoes

The Women's Line -

The dance-friendly soles and glove-like leather on our women's footwear (especially the chamois-feeling Nubuc RugCutter) make it the most comfortable dance shoe your customers will ever put on their feet.

Features:

  • Foam footbed

  • Raw leather sole and heel on Rugcutter & oxford models - suede sole on Mary Jane & athletic shoes

  • Flexible sole

  • Beautiful colors

The Men's Line -

The classic styling and masculine look of our men's line is the answer to feminine looking ballroom and salsa shoes.

Features:

  • Foam footbed

  • Raw leather sole and heel on our dress models - suede on our athletic styles

  • Flexible sole

  • Men's dress models are fully lined with very soft leather

  • Rubber layer in heel for shock absorbtion

  • Rounded toe (pointed toe keeps dancers from feeling the floor)

  • Small welt - the part of the sole that sticks out around the shoe (smaller than streetshoes, but larger than feminine looking ballroom shoes)

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.

NARROW 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 = 8⅞"  3⅛" wide  (fits U.S. size 4½-5
Size 6 = 9¼"  3¼" wide  (fits U.S. size 5½-6)
Size 7 = 9½"  35/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 6½-7
Size 8 = 9¾"  3⅜" wide  (fits U.S. size 7½-8
Size 9 = 10¼"  3½" wide  (fits U.S. size 8½-9
Size 10 = 10½"  39/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 9½-10
Size 11 = 10¾"  311/16" wide  (fits U.S. size 10½-11)

  • Dance Shoe done in an Old School Style Running Sneaker version
  • Flexible Suede-Bottom Sole
  • Light as a feather

This is a feather light dance shoe styled to look like an eighties running shoe. Because of its light weight and suede sole you will be surefooted on the dance floor while still being able to slide and spin. So now you can look like you're wearing sneakers without the knee-injuring potential that dancing on rubber soles carries.

SIZING:

We find that these run true to size. So order your usual men's dress shoe size. If you're a half size it's best to wear a half size larger than usual (7.5 fits an 8, 11.5 fits a 12, etc.).

These come in whole sizes and, because they're converted from European sizing, are also made in a few half sizes - check the dropdown to see what half sizes are available.

Also, because they're converted from European sizes, the men's version of this shoe is really just an extension of the women's sizes and vice versa. So if you wear men's size 7 (but never a 7.5) you might like the fit of the Women's 8.
