Many people look at Cinderella as having the best evening gown, but it was really her glass slippers that shined at the ball. A perfect pair of slippers can make your evening gown look even more resplendent and radiant. Dresses aren't able to have this look by themselves. Being decked out in glamour is essential to looking great, from head to toe!

The perfect pair of shoes can say a lot about you. The shoes you wear for a special occasion should be in the same color family or darker than your dress. This is a general guideline, but many fashion rules can be broken. There is no actual fashion police!

Try metallic gold, silver, or bronze leather shoes if you want to add some spice to your outfit. These are always attractive, especially with an evening gown that has a sexy side or back slit. If you want to be creative then try to be even more creative when it comes to your shoes. Try shoes with beads or glitter. Of course, try not to be too crazy! Less is usually more!

There are many choices of stylish shoes for plus size women. High heels are always glamorous and good for dancing and other social events. If you don't like high heels, consider a shorter heel that is about an inch or an inch and a half. If you are plus size and petite, it is nice to be taller, especially if your date is a lot taller than you.

You want to look feminine and elegant in your evening gown and coordinating shoes. For summer choose a pair of attractive sandals or slingbacks or a pair of open-toed pumps to complement your dress. Remember that the shoes are supposed to pull the look together but not detract from the dress in any way.

If you are not going to be wearing stockings or pantyhose and have chosen a pair of strappy open toed shoes then make sure your feet are in top form. Smooth out any rough skin on your heels with a pumice stone and either give yourself a pedicure or have one professionally done. Make sure your toenails are trimmed and are looking as attractive as ever with polish that is geared for the occasion. You do not have to coordinate the polish on your toes with that on your fingernails but if it suits you to do that then go right ahead! If you are not feeling good about your feet or simply prefer to keep them covered up then that is fine too. The goal is to feel confident, beautiful and sexy, and to look like the goddess you are!
