And if you do, you get the dress in the advertisement.
I highly recommend perusing the website. They seem to service a very specific segment of the market. And we all know what that market segment services... just sayin.

That’s odd to me... the 7 last is one of favorite, yet, for my messed up feet, the 201 couldn’t be more incompatible. Other than a wide fore-foot, they seem entirely different. What do you find to be the commonality that works well for you?
I need a high vamp, especially close to the ankle the 201 and 97 have enough volume (only 97 I have is a Blucher could be different with a balmoral). The 97 has less toe room than the 201 but it’s good enough.

Most of my AE’s have adequate room in the toe box. The only ones I’d say have good room are the B34 and 1757. The 1757 with a average or thin socks has just enough vamp room. The B34 and 511 had to be stretched and still don’t have enough vamp room.

A half size too big 65 I need 2 inches of gap and it still doesn’t have enough vamp room.

I’ve always thought that Victoria’s Secret should run an ad saying that their bras are half off.
I think that would get some attention.

what I find odd is that they also offer that dress in XL. Somehow I think that would take it from "fun party dress" to People of Wal*Mart category.

Now, you see, I missed the whole sizing thing. When you think about it, though, you realize that there was no possible way there wasn’t going to be an XL size for that thing. It was as inevitable as entropy... yet we all secretly, subconsciously, innately, desperately wish there wasn’t an XL size for that dress. Because we all know that’s the only size we’ll ever see being worn by an actual person. Sadly, that is the paradox we face: the very person that dress was not designed for; the person who should never, ever, under any circumstances wear such a thing, will inevitably be the one person who IS wearing that dress.

I’m gonna go condition my Fifth Ave’s now.

I’ve said it to you before, but I’ll say it again... I’m all about that white waistcoat with a dark suit (I have a linen one I wear with my charcoal and pinstripe DB suit). It’s a great look, IMHO.

What are the mystery shoes in this shot?:
