In the event you have been shoe shopping around here you'll understand it's not easy to find the perfect pair, and Brenda is not one to buy shoes for a one-time event anyway.
She does have a lovely pair of gold flats that didn't quite match but are fancy enough for a wedding, so we decided to make her a cumberbun style belt to match the dress to the shoes :)
After a couple days of searching Etsy, Brenda bought a handful of trimmings and odds n' ends and I just finished melding them together into a glittery bit o' goodness laid over a piece of vintage faux mohair:
I'm happy because it's entirely hand sewn and I don't get to sit down and do that very often. It only took the entire season 2 of Mad Men to finish! Haha...
Here it all is together with the dress, shoes and belt:
I hope that even after the wedding she will want to throw the belt on over a black T-shirt and jeans with those cute shoes!
Awesome! You hand-stitchery is always impressive!
