This dress is feminine and alluring in the best way. It makes the most of the female figure but is very tasteful – not a bit in-your-face.
The neckline and bodice treatment are quite unusual – something I’ve not seen done like this before or after.
The kind of fashion that makes you truly unforgettable. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Here’s another great collection of sling-backs & pumps.from the shoe museum in Mexico City. Look at the decoration on the vamps and the peep-toes. LOVE peep-toes!
Can you imagine owning beautiful designer styles like this, in 100% leather construction, done by hand? Heaven! Used to be, shoes like that were available in most shoe stores. Now they’re all made of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same.
’40’s shoes are some of my very favorites, and such a pleasure to see so many examples in such beautiful condition.

Talk about elegant – these shoes are timeless standards in 3 ways: style, color and material. This is characteristic of many true vintage clothing and accessory items – the quality and design are so excellent that they look good with almost everything for almost always.
Classic mid-heel pumps in lizard-skin (vintage, of course) in this rich, mid-brown color will go through every season of the year, with white, black and colors, from casual to dressy.
Compose a wardrobe carefully of elements like this and you’ll appear sophisticated and well-heeled no matter what. Quality and construction are everything. Even well-known labels and designer names (especially if they were made since the 1980’s) are secondary and often cheap-looking, no matter how much they cost . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
