aimeekittyI waited months for them to start taking orders for "special size" shoes again... and then I waited months after I ordered to get my shoes.
IT WAS WORTH IT.
For years I've tried various shoe places online to get lolita-style shoes... but 90% of the time I end up unhappy with the shoes. They don't fit right, or they're kinda weird looking... or not that well made,... etc... (and this is even with me measuring my feet exactly, I still somehow manage to get the wrong size... and have to send them back and try another size and then give up, etc, etc... the cost ends up being huge due to shipping, selling at a loss when they don't fit,... buying again, etc... at least piperlime.com and zappos.com, etc, do free shipping both ways and returns! ) You girls who can just order whatever you want and get it in a few days, count your blessings!
Even though they are somewhat sporadic, RoseChocolat makes my favorite lolita shoes. (One Day in Paradise being my second as they ship fast, are cheaper and have more colors... but I like RC's quality better.)
Look at my new shoes! The photo quality is bad... but look at those heart rhinestone buckles and all the bow details! :D They look -really- nice, and they fit me. They sent me a bunch of extra shoe bows, too. They're also the ONLY place I've found that does Rocking Horse-like shoes in my size. They even have this lower-heeled version (which is what I got, since I'm tall enough already, thankyou!) I don't even know how long I've wanted rocking horse shoes that fit me well.
I'M SO HAPPY, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY TRIALS!
