UPDATE 9th of September 2022
The shoes have arrived from the caster and passed the quality inspection!
There was a delay as the cast shoes failed the quality inspection check earlier and many replacements had to be cast. However, they are now here in Japan and have passed my inspection with flying colours. Especially the stilettos are amazingly beautiful! The heels are taller and narrower than ever! I ordered few extra pairs of all the shoe sculpts, so if you did not have a chance to grab some at the August preorder now is a time to do it! All shoes are available as resin parts for customisation or you can commission me to make them into proper shoes with silk, leather, straps, buckles, etc.
These photos are of "grey models", the hand sculpted prototypes used for making the casting moulds. The shoes are available for customisation as unpainted resin (colour depends on the design) or as ready made OOAK shoes that are painted, covered in silk, leather or turned to sandals with straps and buckles. Please contact me via emiliacouture@gmail.com for a quote if you want to commission a pair.

Tengu Geta blank sandal base parts are available as raw parts (straight from the mould, unsanded) in two resin tones: Opaque Black and Milk, or as finished shoes (contact me for details).
Art Nouveau Snake heels – One of the earliest Inamorata heel sculpts. There were used for LE dolls Cherub and Seraph, and OOAK dolls in Petrographié collection on 2013. The design has two snakes coiling from the heels and slithering down the platform. There are oly 4 pairs left of these vintage heels parts so I will only sell them as complete OOAK shoes.
Dragon Spine Heels – Another vintage design from 2013. Bone spiked high heel easy to attach to shoes or directly to the dolls heels, so easy to use with any 16″ doll. No left and right foot difference. The base parts are painted in one of the following colours:
Matte black
Matte yellow
Metallic orange
