Regecy Shoes by American Duchess
As of late I've been inspired by that interesting transitional period in women's dress, around the
end of the 1780s and into the 1790s. Many things changed - the waistline of gowns, the
favored materials, hair styles, and also shoes.
This tutorial will show you how to decorate Pemberley Regency shoes to be of an earlier
design, one befitting the late 1780s and early 1790s.

What You'll Need:
I want to wear my 1780s shoes with a future yellow and blue polonaise, so I did some sketches
to see what combinations of paint, binding, and ribbon I wanted:
First, lightly wipe the tops of your Pemberlies with Angelus Leather Preparer, and allow to dry.
Mix your paint color - mine was white + a little yellow - and dilute the tiniest bit with either water,
acrylic finisher, or both. You do not want the paint to be thick.
Paint on the first coat lightly. Let dry.
