Edward Rayne made absolutely beautiful, custom shoes for HM and HM for many years - well into the '90's, I believe. Thanks for sharing these with us, Manolo!

Kicking around somewhere on my harddrive is a black and white photograph of these shoes taken much closer to the actual wedding date and you can see the wonderful detail of the twisted satin. *sighs* It's enough to make one want to put up with a man just so one can get married.

So, I'm sure that she had an eye for something truly extraordinary(seed pearls on the buckles or not). Unfortunately, as one ages, comfort in the shoes becomes paramount (sniff), so having to spend a lot of time on one's feet, as the Queen does, daily, probably necessitates a change in the design of the footwear. She still likes to wear snazzy headgear, though. Those are, however, quite luscious shoes, in a mid-50s way, of course.

And quite pretty, even in today's terms. I wonder if they were made for wearing just that once and then relegated to the museology of royalty, along with the crown jewels?
