Reviews
Incredible quality
"I'm a theater teacher, and I've had this dress for several months and wear it often, as i do all my Svaha dresses. I love the comfort, fit, quality, and pockets! During your most recent sale I bought my daughter a matching one (along with many others). She immediately wanted both of us to put them on and frolick around the backyard and twirl in our matching dresses. When I pulled mine out of the closet I was amazed that after months of wear and dozens of washes, it looked exactly like hers straight out of the package! No fading, no pilling, just a perfect dress, as perfect as the day I bought it. I'm confident these dresses will endure and last through so many of her childhood memories!"
Best dress ever!
"I love this dress! The first time I wore it I received so many complements! I haven’t worn a dress in years but this is so comfortable I will wear it often!"
It's a charmer
"This dress draws attention. When stocking my closet after downsizing this design was on the must have list. It is soft, well made and a treat to wear."
6 months in and still a fav!
"This is a dress I keep coming back to. It has held it's colors, shape, and style. I just love it. Great pockets, and incredible quality material."
I love this dress! This
"I love this dress! This is one of my favorite prints, I’ve purchased it more than once."
"Love this dress! Have worn it at two teacher/library conferences now. Both times I got tons of compliments!"
Love the pattern, material and
"Love the pattern, material and how it looks! And pockets!!! Better than I expected. And travels great!"
Practically Perfect
"4. 5 stars! This dress is so cute! I receive compliments every time I wear it. I do wish it were a little longer and that the neck was not quite so wide. I had to keep checking to make sure my bra strap wasn't showing. I've had that issue with other Svaha twirl dresses, too. I'm 5'4" and bought an XL. I'm concerned that if I go up a size for the length, it will be falling off my shoulders. Svaha, any chance of adjusting that? Thanks."
We are Svaha customers for life!
"My wife ABSOLUTELY LOVES EVERY ONE of the swirl dresses we've bought from you; her co-workers at her high school and admins are crazy about them as well! We'll be ordering more as we're available!!!"
Q&A
- Size chart? I can't find it.
- The size chart can be found on the righthand side of the product page (if browsing on desktop). You will see the green "add to cart" and "add to wishlist" buttons then directly underneath that is the ShopPay information and directly underneath the ShopPay information is the size chart. It is the grey button, and once you click on it, the chart will open up.
