A beautiful lady has placed an order for a pair of wearable hand-sewn ruby slippers in US women's size 8 so there's a lot of work ahead in August, 2020.

This perfect pair of hand-sewn bows has been made a bit bigger than the original bows so they are proportionate on the size 8 shoes. As always, we use our custom made high quality glass rectangular stones, rhinestones and bugle beads for our bows.

Sequining is in progress on our US women's size 8 right shoe.

Every sequin is sewn by female hand, as were the original ruby slippers by the seamstresses in the MGM costume department in 1938.
