We all have them. A customer recently turned up at my KimoYes workroom with her favorite "dress" shoes that she was desperate to wear to an upcoming wedding and reception where she would be standing for quite a while. We looked at her stunning outfit with the rather sad shoes and came up with the following.
black silk and vintage Japanese meisen fabrics (a taffeta like silk fabric produced in Japan between 1920-1950) to match her outfit and ended up with this......
black silk kanzashi flowers backed with the contrasting meisen silk and finished with vintage silver tone filigree buttons.
Another possibility was this........
reversal of fabrics with vintage black glass button, but we were both happy with the final outcome...
A little bit of hot glue and shoe clips finished the job.
