About NELLE NELLE prides itself in being a small company in Pennsylvania where all of our skirts are handmade and made to order. Please tell your swing and non-swing friends about us and visit the site frequently as we'll post new colors as we find them. Swing dancing is an obsession at NELLE. Join in our obsession and dance every chance you get. About Our Skirts Each 21" skirt is handmade in a slinky knit blend of 94% acetate and 6% lycra. It's weighted enough to swoosh around your legs with every twirl and swivel you make. The waistband is made with 1 1/4" elastic, while the hem is folded up 1/2" and finished with a coverstitch. All skirts are machine washable and can be put briefly in the dryer or laid flat to dry. DO NOT EVER HANG THEM TO DRY.
