stylishly dignified Explanation: Stop your press. Don't use the word classy. That is slang and extremely informal, even though it is uaed to refer to something that isn't. Note that stillvoll is an adverb, meaning stylishly. Gediegen means as someone indicated, solid, genuine, well-crafted. So this is something rich in appearance. So that the reader doesn't get the idea that it is old-fashioned and stuffy, the word stylishly is added. Classy will just turn off the people their phrase was crafted to attract.
