Shoes and a Skirt for Dasia

 This morning I remembered I have a huge stash of doll shoes in my basement from my porcelain doll making days.  I remembered one pair in particular that I thought would fit Dasia.  I was right!  Unfortunately, I only had one pair of gold, and one pair of silver.  No extras that I could sell.  I'm pretty sure I bought them from a doll supply company called Tallinas, but after searching on the internet, I'm not sure they are still in business.  There are a few people on ebay selling a few Tallina items, but not these shoes.  Near the end of this post I will give you some valuable information you will need when trying to find her some shoes.

This gold pair of strappy heeled shoes fits Dasia almost perfectly.   

Here is the silver pair.  The straps around the ankles can be changed in different styles

She is so happy to have cute shoes to go with her new outfits.  This silver pair will look great with the purple outfit(s) I have planned for her.

"Now Vanessa, I love a cute pair of heels, but I can't walk around in these all the time.  I need some comfy shoes, too."   (Dasia)

"Don't worry, I got you covered."  (Vanessa)

"These feel real comfortable.  Thanks.  I will be able to walk around the mall in these."  (Dasia)

They aren't the cutest looking shoes, but the comfortable ones rarely are.  These also came from Tallina's.

I found one dusty boot that fits.  If I find the other one, she can wear these with her jeans.

TIP:  When looking for shoes for Dasia, you should be looking for shoes that are 44 mm long and 15 or 16 mm wide.  There is another doll shoe supply place, called Monique's Trading Corp.  They didn't use to sell directly to the public, but that seems to have changed.  There was one shoe there I thought may be worth trying out to see if it will work for Dasia.  It is called the Fancy Slip On and it comes it lots of different colors.  They retail fro $6.84 on this site.  Here is a link.  Slip On Shoes.  There is also an Ebay seller with the same shoes for $7.00.  But who knows the prices may work out better depending on the shipping costs.  You can also see all the colors.  Here is that link.  Ebay Slip Ons.  

DISCLAIMER:  I have not tried these shoes on Dasia because I don't have a pair.  So please order at your own risk.  Be sure to select the 44mm/15mm size when ordering to have a better chance of it fitting.

UPDATED INFO:  Thanks to Debbie (Black Doll Collecting)  for finding a source for the gold and silver shoes shown above.  Here is a link to the site. Heels for Dasia.  You will need to order size 7 which is 1 7/8".  

UPDATED INFO #2:  It appears the gold and silver shoes shipping now are slightly different than the ones I purchased years ago.  The heels are different, and the shoes may be running a tad bigger than the ones I showed in this post.  A size 8, (which is smaller than the size 7) may be a better fit.  I can't say for sure because I don't have any of the newer stock.  

Okay, so now I need your help.  I made Dasia a leopard print skirt that will be available as soon as I can figure out what the top will be.  I'm calling on all you fashionistas out there to offer some suggestions for the rest of this outfit.  Thanks.
