We will be crafting a hand-sewn pair of ruby slippers for a Broadway Producer using our custom-made shoes and heels.

The shape will be identical to the original ruby slippers, the difference with this project is the ruby slippers will be a size 10 and the right shoe will feature an authentic Innes Shoe Company heat stamped gold emboss label.

We are professionals in crafting high quality ruby slippers, not just in Judy Garland's size but in any size and our talents are recognized around the world.

This project will be our top priority so once we've crafted the shoes and they are ready for sequining, any projects in progress will cease for a while so that we can focus on getting the job done for a special Broadway Producer.

Below is a stunning pair of hand-sewn bows that we crafted for this pair of ruby slippers. The shape and size is identical to the bows on the original ruby slippers with straight sides and curved corners.

The bows is crafted to look brand new with thin dyed leather and Lao silk fabric for the overlay. The rhinestones have rounded antique style claw settings, unlike modern rhinestones with pointy claws. The rectangular stones is custom-made from high quality glass with "V" cuts on the sides of the stones and the exact size for face cut. The bugle beads fills the bows.

Everything on the bows is sewn by hand with attention to detail and they look like the original bows.

Our handmade shoes is ready to craft the ruby slippers. You won't find these shoes anywhere else, we have the ability to make hand-sewn ruby slippers from actual shoes in any size that is wearable, and not just limited for using as display.

Over 7,000 sequins will be sewn by hand directly onto the shoes because we are working on a pair of shoes that is double Judy Garland's size 5B which is covered with about 4,600 sequins.

The right shoe features an Innes Shoe Company logo that is heat stamped in gold, reading "Innes Shoe Co., Los Angeles, Pasadena, Hollywood".

Not all the original ruby slippers contained a golden emboss logo, only the original ruby slippers made from high-end shoes, in particular the size 5B pair that still survive today.

This pair of ruby slippers is reserved by a Broadway Producer and will be crafted to look brand new with 3mm metallic sequins as used on the original ruby slippers in 1938.

We are working hard on the left shoe. It's a much bigger pair of ruby slippers to what we usually make, so there's a lot of sewing.

Every sequin overlaps each other to perfection. Neatness is our trademark, many consider us as one of the most beautiful hand-sewn ruby slipper seamstresses in the world.

Please note that the cream leather lining is made soft for comfort, and when worn the ruby slippers wraps around the shape of the feet beautifully.
