Hi there, I made a pair of shoes from LL eons ago for my prom. Worn once & after that just kept in storeroom becos no occasion for it at all. Don't kept well though, velvety material disintegrate... oh well, all shoes does that I guess, MTM or OTR.
Anyway, not to spoil your moods, but actually Swarovski crystals are quite cheap, after all, they are just glass with 20% lead content to make it shinier than normal glass. If you are paying $100 just to add crystals on, it definitely is wayyyyy tooo muccchhhh!
I just bought white slip-ons from Metro for my ROM, so even if I don't wear ever, it don't make my heart ache. Course nobody except the most kaypohs really going to look at the shoes. Though I do understand that brides-to-be have the mentality that everything have to be just perfect, but really, relax, just enjoy the day. A glitch here & there, who will even notice or remember? I don't think you talk about your gal pals' shoes after their wedding right?
