There is nothing like a child in period costume. I get weak in my knees, every time i see it. And if i had children, they would have loads of costumes i had made for them.

Re: [h-cost] Movie influences on fashion - shoes
That's entirely possible--it had the look of a really good costume--nice design, and whoever sewed it did a nice job as well (and fabric choice--some sort of crisp cotton in a non-inappropriate color). I'm not really familiar with what's available, commercially, for children, though, so I couldn't say for sure.

American Girl had clothes for real girls, just like the doll clothes. I don't know if they still do, though. My daughter is 21 now. She wants better costumes. AND she even took a sewing class, so I help now, instead of having to do the whole thing! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sue Clemenger Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 7:03 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] Movie influences on fashion - shoes That's entirely possible--it had the look of a really good costume--nice design, and whoever sewed it did a nice job as well (and fabric choice--some sort of crisp cotton in a non-inappropriate color).

Re: [h-cost] Movie influences on fashion - shoes
Hi Saragrace, I think the tip of the shoe is two round, it should be sharp pointed. Heal is fine, but not the tip. Marie Antoinettes shoes was rediculous in the movie, i hated them all But apart from that and some other bummers, i liked the movie a lot. Especially all the courtiers costumes, not Marie Antoinettes dresses wich was changed or modernised two much.

I bet you could mask off the white parts and maybe either spray paint or hand paint the wood part and then maybe stencil a free form vine/flower onto the heels. Now, to find an 18c salon event!!

They didn't have opened toes either did they? BTW - I hated the movie - I thought it was completely boring. I'm not in a position to comment on the costume of the period...

Re: [h-cost] Movie influences on fashion - shoes
This brings up a good point. Anyone know of any good 18th century shoe sources that aren't hundreds of dollars? I'm finding that I'm not even that nuts about shoes I'm finding on reenactor sites. The heel shape is just SO hard to get right. That's why I like the slides posted below... but the open toe is not at all what I want.

That's why I like the slides posted below... but the open toe is not at all what I want. That modern shoe looks like the uppers were glued on. I'm told that with a little effort the bottom half of the shoe can be pulled off and you can either make new uppers, or cover the modern ones, and glue them back together. You might even be able to close the toe. I wouldn't buy a $69 shoe to do that to, but if you can find the heel shape you like in a lower cost shoe, it might be worth the effort.
