And before you even ask - they are over $6000US....








And before you even ask, yes they’re expensive. $6,295 per pair to be exact. But this quote that came with the FYI email about these little ballgowns for the tootsies was absolutely priceless:

Marie Antoinette's Bedroom Inspiration

A trip to Versailles blew my mind as a child and I have been trying to capture the decadence ever since. The cherubs on the header of my website were inspired by the cherubs above Marie Antoinette's bed chamber.

Marie Antoinette Inspiration
