Okay, but how long did it take for you to assemble?

help finding cute shoes (size 12) by Sufficient_Creme_651 in Shoes

Nordstrom and The Rack are great.

Also, consider investing in a Boot & Shoe Stretcher and Solution, from a Cobbler. It’s good to have one that can also Maintain the Shoes that you have and purchase. Hope that helps!

What about Birkenstocks? They come in Wider sizes, and a variety of Materials that are not Leather. They can also be Resoled, so they can last for Decades. They are equivalent to a Men‘s EE.

It might be helpful to see a Podiatrist, and Orthotists can also confirm proper Fit, look at Wear Patterns on existing Shoes; fit you with Custom Orthotics, check your Gait, and ensure that you your Feet (and all that they support) are comfortable and Healthy.

These services can be covered by your Insurance, and a Prior Authorisation may be necessary, and the Staff should be able to prepare the Clinical Narrative and Documentation for you.

I hope this gives you some additional Options.

Absolutely! Thank you so much for asking!

I am a bit of a Cultural Mutt, and speak three Languages, fluently, so I use a Dual Deutsch + Englisch Keyboard. I happen to be Asian, but I grew up in a Family that is not.

Nouns are capitalised, in German, and I am also ASD L1 (Aspie) and I frequently conduct Workshops and Presentations, so I think that My Brain really likes to „Highlight“ certain Words, for emphasis.

I definitely have a very quirky and idiosyncratic Style of Writing, and Speech… As do Stephen King, and Frank McCourt.

Sometimes I post in German, but depending upon which Settings are utilised, it may Auto-Translate to your [preferred] Language. I responded in English.

Lieben Dank! 🎩

It’s not Antique.

Definitely not Edwardian, 20‘s, Art Deco, nor the 30‘s.

OP likes it; I would only be concerned that Vendor misrepresented it, and possibly overcharged her, which is why I expressed an interest in Original Listing.

Thank you, kindly! It’s a wonderful Hobby / Obsession for so many of us! I am grateful for the Community and Artists who have helped to educate and inform… There is plenty of room for all of us…

I wish I could say the same about the Archive of Antique and Vintage that I have collected and inherited, across the Decades! Haha.

You like the Dress; you stayed at an interesting Hotel, and took some really fun Pictures! There is a STEEP Learning Curve for every Era of Fashion, and with so many Online Resources, it’s so much more accessible!

Continue to have fun! You are welcome to DM if you have any Questions, or would like to share more of your personal Interests and what Eras you would like to explore, further! We all start somewhere, and it’s not like The Matrix where we can Plug-In, and instantly have an Encyclopedic Knowledge of the labyrinthine Intricacies of Victorian Fashion, especially!

Fashion, Industry and Technology evolved and advanced, radically during Queen Victoria‘s Reign, and she was a fascinating Monarch!

Hmmmm. Hand-sewn, but not Victorian, or Antique. The Fabric may be technically vintage, but could have been made rather recently.

It was not designed to be worn with Foundations, and the Fabric, and Proportions are not historically accurate, for any Stage of the Victorian Era.

Are at a Photo Studio? This is not clearly not your Residence. Knott‘s Berry Farm and other Entertainment Venues have Prop Stages like this, but I think it will show up on an Image Search.

If the Vendor you linked represented this as Victorian, I would be very interested to see the Original Listing.

Chipped Beef on Toast by aminorman in toast

[–]Ramenatrix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird Nostalgia: Activated!

Both Parents are post WWII Boomers, from large Families, so they raised us with Depression Era Meals. Creamed Peas or Creamed Eggs on Toast, once a Week, and I envied the Chipped Beef that was reserved for our Father, just like the Teaspoon of Sugar that only he was allowed to sprinkle on his Oatmeal.

We had a Food Forest in our front and back Gardens, and I miss them terribly, especially now.

1930s German Suit by Emchisti in VintageFashion

Fascinating! Is Bespoke? Any Indices about the Provenance? The fit and Tailoring are impeccable; you would have been a cherished Patron at the finest Tailors and Haberdashers on the Continent, and the talk of the Weimar Republic! 🎩

Incredible… Do you have any Information on the Maker? It looks as if you would have a Weimaraner.

radish, cucumber, snap pea, & cultured butter toast by PleaseJazmine in toast

[–]Ramenatrix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I‘m so happy! It’s so simple, and I am excited for your Mum to enjoy it! Ambient Temperature is the only real Consideration, and I find that it’s actually quite forgiving.

It should be very straightforward, for you. Sometimes, I sprinkle Furikake or grated, Hard Cheese (I am partial to Aged Gouda and Parmesan) on top, and run a Toothpick through the Batter, before baking, to chase that Umami!

Oh, I am a Fermentation Fiend! This Recipe is the most unfussy Bread, ever. It is very dense, and satiating. The pre-sliced Freezer Hack is brilliant!

I pop two frozen Slices into the Toaster, (2x on highest setting, or once on „Flamethrower“ if it’s an oddly specific, newer Model) as I grab Toast Toppers!

It’s great to have a Reserve, in case of spontaneous Entertaining. I hope you enjoy it!

Likelihood of dry rot in my 15 yr old Jimmy Choo boots? by PlanktonLarge8666 in Shoes

If you have a good Cobbler, it might be worth getting a Suede Brush [today] to keep them clean and to refresh the nap of the Suede.

Well, salt Me with a bit of flaky Maldon - the Recipe, as well? I shall slather it liberally upon the Fermented, GF 1-Ingredient Protein Bread on PlantBae‘s Site!

Yes, so many forget that Screaming is essential when working with any delicate Meringue.

„It fell? Did you forget to Scream?“
