Lilith Women's Vintage Flapper T-Straps (Burgundy/Gold)
The flappers knew how to have fun with footwear, and the Lilith vintage flapper t-strap sandals pay homage to that spirit. Made in luminous satin paired with metallic leather and rhinestones, the Lilith flapper shoes are closely based on an original celadon green and silver pair in the Shoe Icons museum. These gorgeous shoes are accurate for the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and offer our refined and stable 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel paired with open d'orsay sides and an almond toe with cutouts on the vamp.
Wear Lilith vintage flapper shoes with any glamorous evening dress of the Art Deco period, from beaded frocks for wild dancing to shimmering gowns for midnight soirees. The leather soles and well-balanced, not-too-high heel make Liliths the perfect dance shoes for all-night comfort and fun.

Customer Reviews
This is probably my seventh pair of American Duchess heels (whoops). I clearly keep coming back for more. They are absolute beauties!
I’m a street size 7, but found in my last couple orders (Hazels 😍) that AD’s 7.5 fit me better for dancing.
I wear AD heels for vintage 1920-40s Swing Dance, Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz. Comfort and leather soles on the dance floor are my top priority to protect my knees…but a girl wants pretty, vintage shoes too! I usually wear my AD Hazels, and get all those benefits and SO many compliments because of how stunning the shoes are.
I was eyeing these Teal and Copper Liliths forever. A giftcard and the Silver Bells sale made for the perfect excuse to snatch them up.
I was a little nervous of the T-strap style, as the top of my foot is a bit high (cuneiform bones/metatarsal area). While reading reviews, I debated between the 7.5 or 7.5W. However, I’ve had incredible customer service from American Duchess in the past. I knew I was in good hands if something was off, so I ordered the 7.5 regulars, like my Hazels.
The shoes came and they were stunning…
👍The Good?
Incredible color, beautiful shape, stable heel, sparkly closure, perfect vintage aesthetic for dancing Lindy!
🥲The Sad?
I should have listened to my gut and ordered the 7.5W with the strap!
They mostly fit-ish (but felt quite a bit narrower/squishier than my Hazels in the toe box, which wouldn’t work for longer wear or dancing). Sadly, the ankle straps didn’t reach around to the closure at all.
That said, I knew I was in good hands. AD’s customer service was SO helpful (thanks, Jeanette! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), sending them back was a breeze, and the 7.5W replacements arrived SO quickly.
TLDR?
The 7.5W are incredibly gorgeous. There’s a lot of wiggle room in the toe box, the T-strap fits great, they’re comfortable, the color is sensational, and, again, Jeanette’s customer service was so helpful.
For longer wear, I do notice the tiiiiiniest bit of tension in the T-strap on my right ankle, but there’s plenty of room to add an extra buckle hole to solve that.
In, the meantime I’ve been swivelling at home on the carpet to break them in and they feel very comfortable for dance. Looking forward to trying them out on the dance floor for real—and finding a dress to match! 💃🏼 Thanks!
This is my first pair of American Duchess shoes, and these did not disappoint! They are comfortable, yet dressy enough for long gowns. I wish American Duchess would bring this style back in the gold and black and gold on gold. I'd definitely purchase them in other color ways.
Couldn’t be happier with these. Beautiful, great fit, comfortable, well-made. Not a single blister or sore spot after a full day of wearing right out of the box. Would go to slightly insane lengths to protect these from harm.
I already had the red and gold in these shoes and when these came on sale I snapped them up as the shoe is beautiful and great for dancing. They are a little narrow for my wide feet but just from wearing stretch to be ultra comfy on me. Love the heel height. Wore them at a modern wedding and they fit in perfectly. Plan to wear them for some 20s events
These are the most beautiful shoes! I actually got them to go with two of my vintage inspired dresses and at first I was afraid they were going to be too narrow or tight on the crown of my foot but as soon as I slide them on it was perfect and beyond comfortable! I have worn these now twice for over 8 hours and they are just perfection! I get so many compliments, its very rare to find both beauty and comfort all in one and I couldn't be more pleased with these! They are so well made and stunning! I can't wait to grow my collection!
