I love all of the shoes you ladies are posting. I really like the balck with gold trim but, I can't wear gold trim with all of my jewelry ebing silver tone. Here is what I am checking this weekend.

These I love b/c they remind me of boudior slippers!

And since all of you lovely ladies are helping me out I thought I would post the pattern I made my dress from.

Wow, these GOLCs are a splitting image of the Remix Picasso shoe. They don't have it in black though...

Since your dress is a 30s style, I wouldn't go with the Remix wedges anyway. These might work better for you given the style of your dress. Consider making a pair of silver shoe clips for them!

Also, check out the Remix 20s and 30s pumps. As I said, I think they'd be a better match for the style of your dress!

Retrogirl, what a bummer! Your dress pattern is divine. Can't wait to see it!

I was searching and thought I'd share this blog, amazing what a little T-strap addition can do!

These black and silver ones are pricey, and not wedges, but I thought they were pretty!

Probably too much silver, and not a wedge either... (I really see a ballroom type with your dress! And dance shoes should be comfy..)

Ooo, pricy but pretty! (yah, I'm having fun shopping too!)

They have a few other black with silver as well, but I won't list them all.
I was probably no help, and I should be in bed, lol!

Oh my goodness! I am in shoe heaven! Lol! Well, thought my dress is 30s, i wnated wedges b/c heels sometimes irritate my ankles. BUt if I keep it under 2 inches I will be good. I looked at the 30s part of remix and the price prohibites procuring a pair. I was given a 90 dollar limit. Ah, if only I won the lottery!lol I think I would spend all of it on shoes and clothes in a new york minute! I will update all of ya'll on my shoe progress. And of anybody has links to a 1930s and 40s make up charts or diagrams could you post those please?

MOst of the time a size 9.5 to size 10. I have large feet, or as my fiancee says "destroyers". And my dad calls my feet boats!lol When I was high school I used to wear Vans skateshoes and I nicknamed them "mini-vans"!

Aw MAN! I have a beautiful pair of Daniel Green black boudoir types but they are a 9.
They measure 10 and 1/4 on the inside. :eusa_doh:

Do you really think they'd fit you?! I'd sell em to you cheap! PM me if interested~
I'll get some pics. I don't think they've ever been worn, they're satin. Only thing wrong with them is that the inner lining has come up, easy fix.

what kind of wedding are you having? The dress is stunning, but not traditional, so i'm really curious to hear about your wedding. i love non-traditional weddings.

Well my dress pattern is from 1937 and my fiancees military uniform is from 1935. So its kinda a traditional non traditional wedding. We have small details here and there that are remincte of the 30s/40s.

New & Planning a Vintage Wedding

Hey Ladies!

I am brand new here and look forward to milking all of your wonderful 'vintagesque' brains! I am 28(ish) and in the middle of planning my wedding. At first it was leaning towards a 20's theme... now much more towards the 30's... with a bit of 40's thrown in there too! I'm in love with the music & my dress is a vintage-inspired 1930's Harlow gown, so I figured why not? I look forward to chatting with as many of you as possible and am open to any suggestions!
