Some of you may be wondering how, when, and where to wear the new
"Antoinette" 18th century mules, thinking they look oh-so delicate, and not at all practical for anything. To answer the question, let's take a look at some primary source material - depictions of 18th century women wearing this type of shoe. When did they wear it, and how?

Sport them for indoor events such as tea and dinner parties, or indoor reenactments. Wear them in states of undress, or with more formal gowns, while relaxing, or while strolling formal gardens. Wear them as a lady, a well-to-do middle class woman, or even a ladies' maid fortunate to receive her mistress' hand-me-downs.
