Ranked by relevance and common usage.
Keep "dandyess" when the sentence already sounds natural, when a synonym would add unintended emphasis, or when readers need the most familiar wording. A synonym should clarify or sharpen the message, not simply make the sentence look more varied.
If two options seem close, choose the one that best matches the audience and purpose of the sentence.
Choose a synonym only if it keeps the core idea of "dandyess" intact in the sentence you are editing.
Check whether the replacement sounds more formal, casual, emotional, technical, or forceful than the original word.
Read the full sentence after the swap. Keep the synonym only when the sentence becomes clearer or more precise.
Review note: Synonym lists are ranked with lexical data and reviewed for practical writing value. Use the comparison notes, sentence evidence, and source labels together; a high-ranking synonym can still be wrong when the audience, register, or grammar changes.
After choosing a replacement for "dandyess", read the sentence once for meaning and once for rhythm. The best synonym should feel natural in the full sentence, not only accurate in a word list.
If the synonym makes the sentence slower, vaguer, or more dramatic than intended, keep "dandyess" or choose a simpler alternative from the closest-match group.

Here should the laced, straitened and waisted dandy or dandyess, whose beau-ideal of figure rests within the narrow span of slimness, and to whom any other view of the body is out of taste, out of conception, impossible -- here should they learn, while studying the flow and superfluity of a more polished age than their own, to doubt, at least, their sovereign and exclusive right to rack, and wrench, and torture poor human nature.

Some of the young dandies and dandyesses allow the hair to grow long, and when thickly anointed and brushed straight in all directions, the expression of the face becomes singularly wild and savage: such a head would make a capital sign for the Sun Fire and Life Office.
