We searched high and low for formal special occasion dress shoes that would go with our girls special occasion tartan dress. Sure the dress could be paired with a brown patent leather shoe but if you love shoes as much as we do, then you'll agree that we needed something a little extra special. We started with soft leather so our childrens shoes would be comfortable. We chose a ballerina flat heel and covered the dress shoes with luxurious brown tartan silk. Then we added a bronze leather trim around the edge to finish our dress shoes.
