ornamentedbeing: In costuming, it seems like shoes are always the hardest thing to re-create for the appropriate look you are trying to achieve.  The “Astoria” in white is a beautiful shoe that can be left as is or dyed to match your creation.  The American Duchess designed them from extant examples for costumiers and re-enactors, but they are also wonderful for all of my friends who do Steampunk and Lolita, as well! P.S.  I am wearing mine for everyday use too…they are too beautiful to keeps under wraps :-)

    It’s true, shoes are one of the most difficult things to procure for cosplay (or costuming or whatever). My dear...
