Women's Oxford Heels 50s Vintage Black Mesh Lace Panels 8 Spectator Style Wingstep VFG
Sensible and stylish, elevated by the use of mesh in combination with leather for a two tone "spectator" style. It's hard to date these "granny" style vintage oxford heels - variations were produced for decades. I am dating these to probably 1950s based on design details, materials used, and the font used for maker's logo on the insole. Toebox is rounded, Cuban-style heels are easy to walk on or dance in.

CONDITION: No issues noted.
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.
