Customer Reviews
I missed out on the gold Penelope slippers the first time around, wrote a plaintive email requesting they come back, and when they *did*, I jumped the second I saw them. They do not disappoint!!! I have yet to wear them for any length of time, but know I'll need to get some insoles for a bit more support. But they are PERFECT for my Regency ballgown, and I'm beyond-words excited to wear them to this year's AGM in Baltimore. They fit true to size!
Beautifully designed with lovely embroidery, these slippers fit like a glove. I went with the sizing advice before ordering which was very helpful. I love my new slippers!
These fit me perfectly! I love them and they are surprisingly comfortable. A bit slippery, but I can deal with that. The quality is absolutely perfect, the details are very well done. Will definitely be buying from this site in the future.
Love these shoes. They fit me perfectly, look absolutely gorgeous, and are comfortable to wear.
I’ve been wanting something like this for a long time. They arrived a couple of days before the Bridgerton Experience I was going to. The ivory goes well with most of my Regency dresses so it was perfect for the dress I was planning to wear. It was great for dancing and was so comfortable I didn’t want to take them off even when I got home. I’m going to buy another one so that I have a spare. They felt true to size for me.
