flamenco skirt
Perfect. It was exactly what we needed, and the company sent it to us in time for our show! Great shopping experience. Mary Silva
too short
i am usually a size small, so i ordered a medium (i was adviced to do so by one of the reviews). its so short i need at least 4 inches extras in the lenght(im 5'7", its more of a long skirt for tiny people!!! its too thin for flamenco dancing but it has pretty color!
Do order the next size larger
I soo enjoy this skirt. It pretty, and I looove long skirts because they make me feel princessy and beautiful. I'm not all into the skimpy looks, though it is popular today. ( I'm into skirts that's at LEAST knee-length when sitting).
I got this for everyday wear, for when I want extra length of long skirts. I love that it nearly covers my feet ( I would have loved it more had it covered my feet). I got this in red, and I will also get it in white.
I do, however recommend getting it a size larger if you're not skinny. You can always fall back on the drawstring or safety pin it or something. I got it in large and barely fit into it. And I DID untie the drawstring knot before putting it on! My next order will be extra large.
I love how flowy it is, and when I spin around, how it spins around with me. That is far too important in a skirt when I choos what to wear when I go out dancing. I also love that Bol Tags made in a brighter red instead of darker red.
I am more than well pleased with Dance Discounts way of shipping. I got this a couple short days after the shipping, and I live maybe over 1K miles from California, where the company is at. This is my second order from them; the first was early this year, late last year. It was leg warmers, and got it just about as quick, if not as quick.
I highly recommend ordering from this company. But I will warn you some of the stuff can be a bit pricey, and I normally would not do $40 on a skirt ( that includes S & H). But I made this exception.
Tip: When you are NOT wearing this for flamenco dancing, and you are wearing it for other reasons, put an ankle-length or close enough to it nylon petticoat/crinoline under the skirt to make it pouf.
Edit: It is 07.25.08, and today I received my black one. I thought, with the black top I have, would make a perfect black dress, and I gotten interested a few weeks ago into black dresses again. Though I would give the red & white a perfect 5, I would give the black one a 4. The shipping made my head spin in a good sense ( Order I think Tuesday or Wednesday, and it got here a couple minutes ago on Friday, SAME week I ordered using the standard shipping), but I gave this a 4 because the black one was not as heavy as the other two colors. The black one is rather thin in material, but since I did not buy it for flamenco, it's not bad enough where I feel like I got to send it back.
Loved skirt
I loved this skirt. You simply place it over your head since it has no zipper and voila! It is lightweight and great for practice. Doesn't get sticky. I would highly recommend it.
Bal tog flamenco skirt
I bought this skirt for flamenco dancing and sent it back. Though nice for just regular wear or as a modern dance skirt, it is very wimpy when worn for expressive flinging of your skirt as done in flamenco dancing. I was very disappointed.
