Edwardian "Titanic" shoes

[madamemodiste]

Ebay was kind to me yesterday! Through the generosity of the Belle Alley, I was alerted to the Ebay sale of these shoes. As they were a buy it now, I scooped them up!!



I'm very excited because they resemble Rose's "jump dress" shoes from the movie Titanic, as can be seen in the following link:

Wow! Great find!

[bauhausfrau.livejournal.com]

Major score! So I take it You've got a jump dress planned?

[keighsie.livejournal.com]

That is fantastic!!!

I just pray they fit. They're an 8, but in a boot I usually go with 8.5 or sometimes even 9 if they're narrow.

Eventually! I'm really planning on the Flying Dress and the Boarding Suit for this year.

I'm so excited!!

Let me know if they don't fit! I'm a 7.5-8! ;-) (I hope they do fit you though!)

You've got 1st dibs if they are too small :D

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks! But I hope they aren't!

Oh my, but I love "Louis" heels! I have a pair of Kenneth Cole tapestry boots in that exact same shape.

oh, but mine don't have that pretty ribbon...congrats!

Faints in total envy. I love those heels.

Well, they came. I'd prefer them a half size bigger, but seeing as I paid $50 for them, I'm going to give them a try anyway. I figure, they'll only be worn with Edwardian gowns, and most likely I won't be dancing the night away or walking miles. It's possible that after I wear them once, I'll decide they hurt too much, and offer them to you. We'll find out in July!

In the meantime, have you gotten the JB shoes?

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

That's fine! I'm glad they will work for you!

I did get the JB shoes - they're really pretty! :-) And came right when she said they would, too!

[madamekat.livejournal.com]

I'm very glad! Can't wait to see you wear them. Will you get them dyed for the Jump Dress or are they for general wear?

[padawansguide.livejournal.com]

I'm honestly not sure what to do with them or who to have dye them or even what color! :-)
