Press Release - January 2006

Wedding Shoes Inspired by the Wizard of OZ

An enterprising 18 year old has successfully started a business all because of her sister’s plea. Stephanie Bates desperately needed a pair of Dorothy Ruby shoes for her own business and no matter how hard she tried she couldn’t find any. Chloe Bates stepped in and customised a pair of satin shoes with sequins and Make Believe Land was created.

“The first pair were wearable but a bit untidy”, says Chloe, “so I decided to use holographic sequins for the next pair and they were a huge success.”

“All sorts of people wanted them, children and adults, and then I was asked if I could customise a pair in a different colour for a bride who wanted something unusual for her special day.”

Make Believe Land will customise your own shoes with sequins so you choose the style shoe you like and send them off to Make Believe Land to be customised. If you want the shoes to look like Dorothy shoes a handmade bow is added to the front.

Bridesmaids can have shoes to match their dresses. Little girls can have shoes just like Sleeping Beauty or Arial and be proper little princesses. The bride can have either silver, white or any other colour she fancies.

As a memento of the wedding some brides have a pair of christening shoes customised in the same way as their wedding shoes. These can be used in later years for a christening or kept as a memento of the special day.

You don’t need to worry about the weather either – Stephanie in the guise of Dorothy has encountered rain, mud and snow and the shoes survived.

Make Believe Land is an independent company that specialises in customising shoes and other accessories with sequins.
