eolo might recall that many years ago I told him I had a thing

So, yeah. Okay, so ballroom!Dave might have white EVERYTHING (tailcoat, shirt, cravat, waistcoat, trousers, shoes, armwarmers) plus black thingys up his right arm and coloured lining for his coat. And a gold chain or two on the coat. And Valeria Heart on his back (not sure what colour yet though.)

Of course, white everything doesn't have to mean plain white. I think his waistcoat can have patterns, if I can find a decent one.

The internet is trying to tell me that for shoes, men's sizing is the same as women's, so their size 6 is the same as a women's 6. Is that true? I'm supposing men's shoes might be made wider, but overall, are the sizes the same? O_o Uhhhh suppose I should go to a shoe shop and try things out.

Is it lunch time yet?

Is it weekend yet?

Yeah, just try stuff on and see what works. *g* (Or you know. Topshop has a slightly silly pair of white flats with gold studs on in right now I think. How bling does sir wish to be? XDDDDD)

...men in white...
Soooo, how about coming to the circus with me next month... 8)

White ^____^

Dave sounds like he's going to be pretty dazzling. Can you get size 6 men's shoes easily?

Meanwhile, Rush is likely to go the other direction: darkening the jacket to black with silver patterns etc (if I thought I'd have time, I'd be thinking about embroidering the patterns, but silver thread is evil to work with), and black trousers/boots. I *think* I'm keeping the rest pretty much the same as his standard outfit.

Although I sort of have this urge to do something to the white undershirt thing that would allow me to wear cufflinks, so I could get tiny flag!cufflinks. :)

Mmm, sizing between men's and women's really depends on the brand, but here men's sizes tend to be about a size down from women's sizes (so a men's 8 is about a women's 9). But yes, men's shoes tend to be wider, but they do make wide women's (...which I have to buy but are hard to find so I buy men's!).

The internet is right darling. The sizes are the same.
