5 out of 5 starsThese shoes are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! They were even better than the picture. Matches my 18th century dress perfectly. The shoes were very well made and definitely worth the price; I had one small concern, but Liza helped me to fix it right away- excellent customer service! She was most helpful and pleasant! Thank you so much for providing these works of art!

5 out of 5 starsThe passion for this craft is evident and the item arrived when promised and in ornate fashion just as planned/discussed using photos and collaborating on colors. What an awesome experience. The shoes run small, so make 1/2 size up in adjustment if you will be wearing stockings of any kind. You will need to plan to break them in prior to wearing them the day of an event. Absolutely gorgeous craftsmanship!

5 out of 5 starsReally loved these shoes. The detailing was beautiful, and she really worked with me to match the accents in my rococo dress. The only thing was, the bottoms of the shoes seemed a little worn already when I got them, but I'm still giving 5 stars. Shipping was really fast, I had a deadline and they got to me with plenty of time.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a lovely jacket but too tight in the underarm area for me. (I have a very sore underarm due to radiation, but don't think it would have been a problem if my sensation was normal) Seller was very communicative and gracious about my need to exchange this. It shipped very quickly.

Additional policies and FAQs
1. WILL THESE SHOES FIT ME? WHAT SIZE SHOULD I BUY?
The size listed on ready-made shoes is the size of the original shoe. Your regular size should fit, but if in doubt, we'd suggest going up a bit from your regular shoe size. Stretching your cobbled shoes may distort or dislodge the decorations.
2. DO YOU HAVE OTHER PHOTOS? CAN YOU SEND ME MORE DETAILS OR MEASUREMENTS?
Absolutely. Just ask! We're happy to answer all your questions.
3. I WANT THE EXACT SAME PAIR I SEE IN THE PHOTOS, IS THAT POSSIBLE?
If the pair is "Ready to Ship" and is your size, that's the exact pair you will receive. If you want the same pair in a different size or any pair listed as "To Order," then we can get close, but probably can't make them identical due to supplies being limited and/or one-of-a-kind. We are sure we can create something you'll love, just get in touch!
4. I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING REALLY SPECIFIC AND I DON'T SEE IT HERE. CAN YOU MAKE IT FOR ME?
Probably! Let's chat. Send me a convo or email me at info [!at] betterdressesvintage.com
5. HOW DELICATE ARE YOUR SHOES?
Definitely wearable, but treat them gently. I'd be careful about where you walk in them (avoid gravel, grates, and other damaging surfaces if possible), and don't wear them in the rain, of course. After wearing, stuff them with some clean paper towels or tissue paper overnight, to help keep their shape and absorb any perspiration.
6. DO YOU SHIP INTERNATIONALLY?
Yes. We'll do what we can to find an affordable way of getting your shoes safely to you, wherever you live. All VAT and other import taxes are the buyer's responsibility.
7. DO YOU OFFER LAYAWAY?
Yes. Contact us for terms and conditions. We're happy to help.
