thanks!! she has definitely served me well! a little banged up and bruised up now, but hey, those are the battle scars of a much loved shoe

Thanks ladies for all the input. I am torn. The Sedaraby does fit perfectly. And for those that haven't seen the feathers they have a blue/green tinge to them. I have more toe cleavage in the feathers...and I have long finger like toes! Sorry to hijack the Manolo thread but I appreciate my fellow Manolo lovers input!

Here is the dress...ivory chiffon formfitting sheath with a black lace middle (cocktail dress that I bought two of and had cut off and sewn on to the other to make a gown). Fuschia bouquet. White veil with black lace trim. Ceremony at Lake Las Vegas and reception on yacht. More of modern/contemporary feel, not very traditional.

I also have black Sedaraby's by the way...I have always loved the idea of a nontraditional color.

I really like the idea of the black sedarbys!!! I think they would look fantastic with the dress. Elegant but not the typical white wedding shoe!!!!
The dress and veil are so pretty! You are going to look beautiful!!!!!
Best wishes!!

You are going to look positively amazing-please post pictures. I love the idea of the black sedarbys, especially with the black midsection. What a creative idea of combining the 2 dresses to make a gown.

I actually like the look of the Catalinas with your dress!!! That little tuft of feathers will look really cool with the midsection of your dress. I don't think you can go wrong between the Catalinas and both colors of the Sedarabys. I say wear whatever your heart says you should wear!!

Love all the Manolos, they are absolutely beautiful... Here are two of my favorite pink pairs from seasons and seasons ago, Sedaraby and Butterby.

JuneHawk · Sep 5th, 2008, 06:30 PM

I finally got these today! I haven't told my hubby about them yet and I hope he doesn't make me return them LOL.

Alice - Lovely pink shoes!

JuneHawk - I've always wanted a Campari Mary Jane pumps. Do they run true to size? TIA!

BlkLadyLaw - Seeing your dress now, I think the pink Catalinas would look fantastic with it!

JuneHawk · Sep 7th, 2008, 07:24 PM

They do. I'm a true US 7.5 and these are a 37.5.
