Evening Boots

1885-1890

Probably French

While the slipper and the strapped shoe were the most common choice for evening wear in the last third of the 19th century, boots did occasionally continue to appear. As with shoes, the basic evening boot was satin, either plain or featuring an embroidered vamp, usually in floral or foliate designs. Surviving examples of evening boots of the late 19th and early 20th centuries suggest, however, that those daring to wear something already outside of the ordinary often opted as well for unconventionally bold and unusual materials and trimmings. This pair of boots typifies that phenomenon: anachronistic side-lacing, novel and atypically exuberant fret and scroll motifs, and embroidery covering the entire boot, including the heel.

ppl who act like the unifying factor for being lgbtqia+ is suffering are inherently backwards ab what it means to b queer in the first place. we didn't come into existence because we were oppressed, queer ppl have always existed. it's ridiculous to try n draw lines n borders around what identities r valid and which aren't just so u can justify bullying people u don't like
