What a great idea to liven up your shoes.<br />I had a bit more success dyeing my wedding shoes recently, I think perhaps my shoes had some natural fibre content? No idea, it certainly wasn't down to my skills! Anyway, I blogged mine the other day - http://lifeinlists.typepad.com/blog/2011/07/a-handmade-wedding-part-1-or-something-blue.html - in case anyone's looking for more info on dyeing their own! Can't wait to see your outfit all together on your big day, it will look perfect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-75692717339464643902011-07-20T12:43:19.254-07:002011-07-20T12:43:19.254-07:00Good point, @meggyme!!

But for matching shoes with a white dress, it's surprisingly hard to get the right wedding shoes. It's not like you can wear the dress to shoe store after shoe store (you could, but you might get some weird looks). I ended up going with a pair of silver metallic wedges instead of the red or yellow pumps I had envisioned.<br /><br />Great work on the shoe clips. They'll look stunning with what I've seen of your dress.<br /><br />-Meg<br />http://megshandmadelife.blogspot.commeggymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017975431211552324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-86328090320049744612011-07-15T09:04:39.667-07:002011-07-15T09:04:39.667-07:00Thanks!

@banclothing, yes...Thanks! They are fun and easy.<br /><br />@banclothing, yes, my dress is tea-length, so my ankles and shoes will show. It would have been too matchy-matchy to have the same flowers even if I could get the right size, you're right.<br /><br />@TheYellowRose, it's worth a shot! If you can find some similar fabric to your shoes (get a 1" swatch from the fabric store, even) and test it out... you might get the right color even with liquid RIT!<br /><br />@dalia, shoe clips are around... a fun and easy way to transform shoes!Adventures in Dressmakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00276208940528297433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-58467557639343581312011-07-15T07:01:41.043-07:002011-07-15T07:01:41.043-07:00I love the idea of shoe clips, is that something r...I love the idea of shoe clips, is that something readily available, or have you invented this?

I'm totally inspired now and might turn some of my nana's old clip-on earrings from the 60s into shoe clips (I'm already converting some into hair accessories...) I'm sorry the colors didn't work out...if it had I was going to use your technique to dye some shoes for my wedding, since robin's egg blue is apparently a hard color to track down! Oh well, the search continues. Glad you finally have your shoes, and can't wait to see your whole look!TheYellowRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849394312310274854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-25884545590604522722011-07-14T08:03:38.444-07:002011-07-14T08:03:38.444-07:00I am really glad you were able to find something t...I am really glad you were able to find something that works. I think if you used the same flowers on as on the dress it would have been too matchy. Does your dress go to the floor or are you even going to be able to see the shoes?banclothinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18346705403696187772noreply@blogger.com
