Star Wars bounty hunter boots

We just finished a translation of the Bouchh boots for a customer who dresses as Princess Leia. Finding a good 360 degree view proved to be a challenge. We knew that the base boot was a popular boots worn at the time but the shin piece that was worn over it was harder to figure out. We put a zipper up the inside of the leg instead of what appeared to be velcro at the back to give it a cleaner look and guessed at the inner leg detail of the ankle strap. The client was very pleased with the end result and will be wearing it to a cancer fund raiser.

Andrea loved them and wore them all week. Functional success and beauty, the best combination. The blue was just the right shade to accent her Renaissance garb.

Jumping two centuries with one pair of boots! In addition the woman is a vendor at those events and needs to be on her feet all day making comfort the primary goal. We are starting with a translation of a pair of 16th century French slippers to model the toes after, then adding a boot top with cuff details to match the toe. The idea being that the toe will peak out from under her skirts and look like a fancy slipper and the boots can have pants tucked into the top for a swashbuckling pirate wench. The mock up is on it’s way for a fitting and critique. We’ll see if we scored in a couple of days.
