My 4 year old will be a flower girl in her cousin's wedding on Dec. 27. She is supposed to wear ivory dress shoes, which I simply cannot find anywhere at this time of year. She has a very narrow foot, which makes the search more difficult. I don't want to spend a forture for shoes she will likely wear only once, but I do want them to fit well enough so she can walk down the aisle without tripping! Any ideas?
You might try Payless shoes. They have bridal shoes that can be dyed to match your daughter's dress.
Good luck

see if you could have black shoes, very appropriate for a little girl with an ivory dress.
If they still say no then go to resale shops and check craigslist and EBAY.
Ebay! You will find them for sure!
Davids bridal, Nordstrom, payless.
ballet shoes - they even sell them in some chain wedding dress stores
Hi K.,
There was a store called the Shoe Depot that had quite a selection but I don't travel out there frequently so I don't know what they have or if they still exist. Not sure if they have other locations. Also, If you have an indoor swap mall somewhere near you, the hispanic stores that sell dresses & suits usually have shoes also. The only one I can think of is 5 Star Swap in Villa Park. Wave kids is in several of the malls but I"m not sure of prices. Good Luck!
I had the same problem a few years ago. To my surprise I found some at Payless shoe store. A few years later I used spray adhesive and glued green felt to them to make them into Tinkerbell shoes for my younger daughters birthday. They turned out so cute and we got to use them more than once.
You might also try an Outlet mall. I live about five minutes from one and the Stride Rite Outlet often has last seasons Easter shoes on clearance.
Good luck!

I don't know why she won't be able to wear them more than once. Our girl wears her to church, parties, these would be really good to keep back for Easter dress up, then as they get closer to being worn out even to school in the Fall. Since they would be off white they could easily be worn year round.
I would call around using a phone book or two from the local library and find a couple of places in a nearby city and take a day to go and try them on. They can be made to fit if only for that day with the Dr. Scholls items from Walmart.
Good luck finding some, I know they are out there, I had to google off white shoes for my friend whose daughter was in a pageant and they couldn't find any either. I found 100's of them, a lot were the same shoes but they were avail.
Try flowergirldressforless.com - they have dresses and shoes. I never bought shoes from there, but their dresses are affordable and good quality. their shipping and return policy is good too.
Good luck!
I suggest trying one of the many garage sale and resale websites out there. There are some on facebook where you can ask if anyone has a pair to purchase or borrow. Also, try Freecycle - you'll have to 'join' which takes a day or so depending on the area you live and the moderator, but it's well worth it.
