    No idea about the sizing, but I ❤️ the styles I've seen.

    I have a pair of Benjamin Adams (marilyn) - well, they are in the shop, I just havent picked them up yet?

    According to the shoe fitting thing in the bridal shop, I am a size 8, although I have shoes and boots ranging from a size 6 to 8! She had a pair of marilyn shoes in a size 7, which a bride (shop owners friend) had taken in to get died black after her wedding. I actually tried them on and they fitted perfectly, although obviously after a day of full wear on the brides wedding day.

    Needless to say, I ordered a size 7 (they dont come in an ?. However teh Marilyn shoe is quite strappy and it seems to be my heel that makes me a size 8, and as it sits over my heel, I am a size 7 in the marilyn.

    I am going to stop now because I dont think I am making any sense, and am not sure I have answered the OP question!?

    Forgot to say, in the midst of my earlier ramblings...

    The shoes are even more beautiful in IRL.

    You know when you buy shoes they can sometimes have a very shiny sole? Well, these have a soft leather sole - excellent for me as I will be making my entrance walking down a carpetted stairs, and hope it isnt dramatic for the wrong reasons!?

    These are the shoes I fell in love with! But I also liked the idea of having pink shoes, so I customised a pair very similar in shape so they had the colour of one pair and the crystals of another.

    My shoes are called Sandra. I will take a picture of them and update tomorrow if you would like to see them? I have had swarovoski crystals glued onto the toe, in between the pleats of the shoe and all up the back of the heel. they are b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l, and cost nearly half the price.

    I would love to see a pic and full details of how you customised them, I am useless at things like this but one of mt bms is studying fine art and the other is a vm for monsoon so surely between them they should be able to help ?

    I have a black and ivory dress so would actually like the shoes in black, my dress only cost £450 so can't really justify these shoes, although h2b says go for it!!

    Here we go, I have just taken some pics......

    The pictures don't really show how sparkly they are, as all the crystals are swarovksi and they just catch the light so much in real life.

    What do you think?

    OMG they are amazing, where did you get the crystals and what did you use to stick them on? I love the heals very unusual x

    Soz, when I say I customised them, I meant I had them customised at a shop in Milton Keynes. I can give you their name and no. if you would like, but I would't recommend them myself.
    Although I looooove my shoes, they really messed up with my tiaras and I don't think their customer service was great. (I put a really long rambling post on here earlier in the week)
    Glad you like them.

    I paid £250. £125 of this was the swarovski crystals just on the heel. There are over 1000 crystals on them. The shade of pink I have had them dyed is a bit brighter then a baby pink as it matches my bridesmaids dresses, but you could have them dyed any shade of any colour you liked.
