Requiem shoes came!

[mellymell]

Yah! The shoes I got a few weeks back on ebay came today! They're considerably more grey in person than they appeared on the listing, but they were listed as grey after all. They look fabulous though! They're a slate blue-grey satin looking material with metallic blue embroidery, clear seed beads with blue centers, and iridescent sequins. There's even embroidery on the sole. Beautiful work. The soles and structure of the shoes are leather. There's a tiny 1/2" padded heel on them. Now to break them in. Wonder if some leather oil would help.

Worked much more on the Dream gown today. I've got the shoulders all done and starting work on the zipper. Then all that'll be left is the other side seam and hemming for the rest of my life. I'm thinking about being lazy and leaving the selvage edges as they are. That would mean I'd only have to hem the top and bottom. Any thoughts?

Pics of shoes?

I actually am a big fan of leaving the selvege. I do it whenever I can because a) I'm lazy, and b) I really like the way it looks!

pics are yet to come (as mentioned below)

and thanks, I think I'll leave them too. They're the flowy sides of the gown, so I think they'll "float" better without the weight of a hem there. Laziness prevails! yippie ;]

laziness is great. I like to let it prevail whenever possible. :D
