Elizabeth, I got a lovely pair of white satin ballet slippers in a
size 10 once at Bloch's -I think they sell online too. If not,
Salvio's in Randwick, Sydney, goes up to 10 1/2; their ballet flats
are especially nice http://www.salvios.com.au/shoedetail.asp?id=85.
Best of luck!

Can you make do with
a pair of regular ballet slippers? I bought a pair at my local
dance
shop
to get started with before I found the Auditions catalogue, which
has a
slightly more substantial style with a very small heel.

I doubt it, the dance shops I've seen (admittedly this was about 5
years
ago, but I doubt much has changed) only go up to a size 9 whereas I
am a
borderline size 10-11 (based on a day of touring nearly every shoe
shop in
the mall I probably need a 10.5 but anything above a size 10 was
nearly
impossible to find)

I have no idea if Auditions will ship overseas, but you might
check. They
do carry large and wide sizes. Also, a specialty dance store
could probably
order you a larger size, but it might take a while to get them--my
husband
wears a man's 10 wide, and, when he took ballet in college, it
took several
weeks to get his special-ordered pair. In the meantime, he
borrowed a pair his
instructor had, that were white instead of black, which, as he
said, made him
look like Bugs Bunny!
