I finally remembered to take pictures of my early Victorian shoes.


They're American Duchess Brontes (clearance!) that I dyed green. The dying turned out to be much easier than I had anticipated. It just took me weeks to get around to taking pictures. As others have mentioned, it is hard to take good pictures of your own feet, but I think I managed to get something acceptable. It's nice that the ribbons around the ankles slightly mask the bagginess of the stockings, which are an 1849 pattern.
If I don't make anything else for the San Jacinto battle in April, at least I'll have underwear and be shod!
