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.
