I don't know what happened and cannot fix it. Sorry will keep trying.

Payless by me has a whole section of dyeables- all sizes!

I also suggest trying payless. I would imagine that you could find a nice pair of dyeables.

As I recall, that transition from child's to woman's sizing is tricky since no one seems to stock a lot of them. Good luck on you search.

I vote metallic sparkly if you don't find ones to dye or match.

Black leather, patent, or suede shoes would be classic and lovely with the purple dress! If you look closely at the picture on the front of the A.G. catalog, you'll see that the girls are wearing black tights; the smaller girl is wearing a black headband, and the dolls in the photo appear to be wearing black shoes. You can't see the girls' feet in the pic, but I'm betting they're wearing black shoes too. I actually think purple shoes will be overkill. Black shoes will be lovely and more subtle.

GoodStuff.....the black tights does look very nice with that dress. Just wondering if it will look as nice with the dress on the new cover? It's more sparkly.

I tried Payless, called a local store. They don't even sell dyeable shoes. On line, they're just for adults.

My daughter is 9, a young nine (usually wears a size 7 in clothing). Do you think she should wear tights? If so, what color and with what shoes?

Thanks everyone!

Tight would be nice in a sheer light sparkle, black, white or dress sock in the same color pallet or without any. I still like the idea of a silver shoe. You could do some special earrings, bracelet, and hair bow/band for an extra special treat. She is growing up, so maybe a little kitten heel would be nice too!

I thought I'd found the right American Girl cover with the same purple dress, but I guess not? I haven't succeeded in finding another one with a different purple dress, so I don't know exactly what it looks like. Still, on general principles I think black shoes should be fine. She could wear black or purple tights (if you can find the right shade) or sparkly tights. Just my opinion.

My niece has a size 12 foot and my sister has luck finding shoes for her at Talbot's.
