Inside of stays cut out and ready to sew. I used a black cotton twill I had on hand already since it won't be seen anyway.

Pieces sewn together and waiting for the channel stitching and boning.

The stays are all channel stitched, but I ran out of boning for the right side, only the left is complete.

They're so pretty. I used pink thread since it was in the machine already and made it easier to see the lines while sewing. This side has the bones in it already.

My completed shoes! I ripped apart the base shoe by removing the leather sole and the plastic heel tip. I recovered them in the same silk that the dress is made from. The heel and sole were then glued back on with epoxy.
They are decorated with a pleated velvet and vintage silver metallic lace with rhinestones and a blue cameo.

There is a velvet bow with the cameo and pleated velvet surrounding.
I added the "jewelry" to the cameo.

The heels are so pretty. There is a vintage applique that I cut from a larger lace and Swarovski rhinestones.
