in general i've noticed a preference for a type of shoe very specific to d.s..it's sort of a low,squat heel but not a flat.the toe is usually squared-off.
it's a very "square" shoe but i kind of like it.it provides a satisfying "clack" on the stone floors of the foyer at collinwood.
the worst is when one of the characters has to appear in her nightgown.then she gets this super wierd "bed shoe".it's not a slipper exactly.it's harder.it's really dowdy.
it's funny how the show embraced certain 1960's trends while managing to avoid others completely.for intance no one ever wears textured or colored stockings.it's always a "sheer".no one ever wears those god-awful white "go-go" boots that were fashionable at the time either.
