When I frist decided to start this project I ordered shoes from American Duchess. I ordered the 18th century based Kensington leather shoes in ivory. I wrote a little post about them when I ordered them HERE. I got them the first week in April after my last layaway payment. Company plus for me was the layaway plan, it's a lot easier on the wallet when you are on budget.
Anyway my shoes came and I opened them up and they were so beautiful. I already love getting new shoes but I was so happy to finally hold them. I guess the wait and knowing they were coming increased my need for them.

| Dauphine shoe buckle |
I have to attach the buckle to the shoe. At first this seems like a daunting task but after reading and watching the instructions video on the buckle sale page I was able to get them on the shoes. pictures will come later with the dress.
I was still working on the dress when the shoes came so they stayed in the box until I finished the dress. I had the dress and I had the shoes, I now needed stockings.
I searched for stockings everywhere, I even gave making my own a go. It didn't work out. So I just went on and ordered a pair of 18th century stockings from American Duchess. I ordered the a pair of white Clocked Silk Stockings. They arrived yesterday. I was a little hestaited to order them because I have big legs and even after measuring I barely made the size cut off.

I tried the stocking on and they can make it over my knee to my thigh. The only problem is they didn't stay there so I just pulled them up to my knee and folded the cuff. The stocking cover my knee and that fine, I'm short and I don't have much leg to cover.
Everything is coming together. Now to work on the hair.
ALSO HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE DRESS
