There is something wonderful about food. Why else would we watch shows about cooking, buy cook books, and even enjoy reading (and writing) about food. Regency England was also an era that enjoyed i…
Photography began to develop (pun unintended) in the 1830s and 40s. Before that, likenesses were captured in other ways. This past Saturday, I attended an online class about one of the most popular…

To our modern eyes, Regency empire dresses represent a charmed and romantic era. But in 1794, the high-waisted look that had so recently come into fashion aroused much ridicule, and was described a…

Sometimes you just need that unique pair of shoes, but don't have time/money/knowledge to make or order them. With all the effort I'm putting into my 1790s gown, it would ruin it to not have at least a decent pair of shoes. However, with so little time, there's no way I can learn how to do a pointed toe last (often done with a metal tip when this severe) and make a shoe. So, I dug out an old pair of olive green pointed toe pumps from who knows how many years ago to do some work on. The heel is horribly incorrect, but it's really the toe which will be seen since I have a train. Looking around for inspiration I found these three images (first two from Shoe Icons, the third I see often but know of no source). They all have a relatively simple trim around the toe area. Pleated small ribbon with a "bow" of some kind. The last pair was particularly interesting for some reason, it looks to be layers of pinked silk tacked down. I happened to have some ribbon and silk scraps the exact color of my shoes, so off I went to work. They are by no means perfect, the choke is just too low compared to extants, the toe a bit too long, and the heel very tiny. However, it's better with a slight trimming distraction, and maybe I'll be able to make a proper pair of shoes by the time I need to wear the gown again!

A tracking number is automatically added to your order details. We have had numerous complaints that Postmen are not leaving cards when customers are not in. This now seems to be the norm. It is the customers responsibility to check the tracking and see if an item needs collection or redelivering. These items are generally returned to us after a month after which we will invoice you again to reship the item. If you're item has not arrived after the stated delivery time, check the tracking information. Please note that items sent 2nd class, will only show delivery information once delivery has been attempted. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS OUTSIDE OF THE UK Please note that we now have orders printed and sent from the customers country of residence wherever possible. Items were taking three to four weeks to be delivered by the Royal Mail, with items being delayed at customs, especially in the USA. We can now get items to customers throughout the world within 7 to 10 days. This has resulted in us having to raise our prices for orders placed outside of the UK, however, with the saving made in postage, items are generally £5 or more cheaper to the customer. We hope you agree that this is better off for all parties and that you will pay less overall and get your items quicker.
