70's party, got a dress....but what shoes?

[Spagblog]

I have bought a nice long maxi dress with angel sleeves (photo on my profile) and now I want some 70's shoes to go with it.

I'm not sure what would have been worn in the 70s as evening wear. All the clichés are of platform boots which I don't think will go.

Also, what makeup?

Thanks

Superdooper dress. I'd go for gold strappy sandals. Look for some on ebay or in vintage shops. I recently sold some silver sandals on ebay that were perfect with my mum's navy blue genuine 70's dress.

Thanks for the biccie!

platform wedge sandals? Nice dress btw

Agree with sandals; and lovely dress!

Make-up needs to be a bit Abigail's party/Liver birds, so heavy liquid eyeliner (over and under the eye) over a sweep of pale eyeshadow (white or pale green would be good), almost up to the brow, then shade the socket line with a darker tone. False eyelashes are vital.

A small amount of blusher if you need it, and pale glossy lips (try mixing a dab of foundation with lip balm/gloss).

Have fun

Thanks, wedgie sandals then.. Maybe gold, for some extra glamour.

I like the sound of false lashes, but I've never tried them before.
I think 70's is definitely fun. I'm loving the angel sleeves
