The shoes fit like the glove leather they were constructed with and she’s very pleased. She tells me that the new gown should be ready soon and she’ll be ready to dance. The gold detail was made with pale gold metallic finished leather to coordinate with the gold details on the gown. The ankle straps have large grommets instead of eyelets to make it easy to use ribbons to match a variety of gowns. The toe detail was adapted from another Renaissance Elizabethian slippersToe detail Elizabethian slipperslipper for these tiny shoes.

This was also not a period of mass production and I would expect that there was a lot of individuality exercised. If you are inspired, go for it.
