Flapper T-Strap Evening Heels 20s Black Vintage Shoes Silver Lightning Bolts VFG
A very special pair of 1920s vintage party shoes! The contrast between the overlapping black and silver on the toebox evokes lightning for me. The toe is almond shaped, the heel is enclosed, the D'Orsay styling of the sides reveals the instep. A thin T-strap buckles at the ankle.

MATERIALS/COLORS: The outer shoe is primarily black velvet, with silver leather accents. Shoes are lined in light pink leather or leatherette. The outer sole looks like leather.
MAKER: No maker's tag
CLOSURES: Small silvertone buckles, art deco style, with tiny embedded rhinestones.
CONDITION: A few minor flaws that are reflected in the price. One insole is missing and the heel of the other insole is lifting and should be re-glued. Five of the twelve little rhinestones inset in the buckles are gone. No other issues noted - outer soles are lightly worn, velvet fabric is minimally worn. leather accents are soft and supple.
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
