Womens Swing Dresses

The Swing Dress

The swing dress made its debut in the 40s when women wanted something comfortable to wear while boogying to the lindy-hop and other jazz dances. This practical little number had a big comeback when Twiggy paraded down the catwalk wearing one 20 years later, and fashion-forward women have never looked back. Whether you go for a design that falls into a full or A-line skirt, theres a swing dress out there to suit you.
