The place is called Casa Di Mario. I was there last week and they had a large selection. There is also a place in Commack on Jericho Tpke. called Craft Shoes. They had an even bigger selection and offer deals for the bridesmaids and will dye back to black for you (check on that though). I am still trying to find a comfortable shoe. I found that a Mary Jane type are very comfortable (and affordable at Craft - only $49!) but the platform Mary Janes are not very stable but more fashionable. I'm confused.

By the way - I noticed you chose Full House for your band - I was also interested in them. If possible could you please forward me any info. you may have or any recommendations for other bands. Thanks!!!

Avoid the hassle and stay away. Anyone know a good favor store?

Shoes in Queens

If you're willing to go to Astoria/Steinway Street, there is a store called "Dying for you". I bought the MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES - simple pumps w/ a slight platform and lots of support and cushion - for $65!!!

That includes the initial dye for the dress and then afterwards, they'll dye it black for free.

: ) Email me directly if you need more info.

Do they have a big selection?

Almaz Brothers: 35-13 30th Avenue. Phone is 718-545-6073. They're open every day but Saturday. Its owned by 2 brothers - Ralph and Yury (Ralph is the guy you'll be dealing with - Yuri is the ring maker guy in the back). Ralph is a sweetie : ) They've been in business since '84.

Good luck! : )

Its a relatively small shop in size but I thought their selection was pretty extensive. If you're familiar with Steinway Street, its across the street from PastaFina & Baskin Robbins (off 30th Avenue).

Good luck! : )
