Lilith Women's Vintage Flapper T-Straps (Gold/Gold)
Couldn't load pickup availability
The flappers knew how to have fun with footwear, and the Lilith vintage flapper t-strap sandals pay homage to that spirit. Made in luminous satin paired with metallic leather and rhinestones, the Lilith flapper shoes are closely based on an original celadon green and silver pair in the Shoe Icons museum. These gorgeous shoes are accurate for the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and offer our refined and stable 2.5 in / 6.3 cm Spanish heel paired with open d'orsay sides and an almond toe with cutouts on the vamp.
Wear Lilith vintage flapper shoes with any glamorous evening dress of the Art Deco period, from beaded frocks for wild dancing to shimmering gowns for midnight soirees. The leather soles and well-balanced, not-too-high heel make Liliths the perfect dance shoes for all-night comfort and fun.

Customer Reviews
Good fit, really pretty. Even if they don’t get used I must have these in my collection of period shoes!
Wore them to church today and received compliments that I always wear such lovely shoes! Said that I would be sure to tell my "shoemaker" -- so I am!
the price is worth it, these are NICE shoes! they're surprisingly comfortable despite them being high heels (as a person who doesn't wear them often, myself). the one issue i've had is that they can be kind of tricky to buckle, or maybe its just me lol. otherwise great.
I have been waiting for these to be restocked in gold, and they finally were. Huzzah! I was able to get a pair, and my goodness, they are spectacular. The color is beautiful, and they're so, so comfortable. I also have these in black and silver, and I am thrilled to have another pair in my collection. Please, please continue to make these, and in other color ways. (Perhaps solid black, or solid cream.)
This is probably my seventh pair of American Duchess heels (whoops). I clearly keep coming back for more. They are absolute beauties!
I’m a street size 7, but found in my last couple orders (Hazels 😍) that AD’s 7.5 fit me better for dancing.
I wear AD heels for vintage 1920-40s Swing Dance, Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz. Comfort and leather soles on the dance floor are my top priority to protect my knees…but a girl wants pretty, vintage shoes too! I usually wear my AD Hazels, and get all those benefits and SO many compliments because of how stunning the shoes are.
I was eyeing these Teal and Copper Liliths forever. A giftcard and the Silver Bells sale made for the perfect excuse to snatch them up.
I was a little nervous of the T-strap style, as the top of my foot is a bit high (cuneiform bones/metatarsal area). While reading reviews, I debated between the 7.5 or 7.5W. However, I’ve had incredible customer service from American Duchess in the past. I knew I was in good hands if something was off, so I ordered the 7.5 regulars, like my Hazels.
The shoes came and they were stunning…
👍The Good?
Incredible color, beautiful shape, stable heel, sparkly closure, perfect vintage aesthetic for dancing Lindy!
🥲The Sad?
I should have listened to my gut and ordered the 7.5W with the strap!
They mostly fit-ish (but felt quite a bit narrower/squishier than my Hazels in the toe box, which wouldn’t work for longer wear or dancing). Sadly, the ankle straps didn’t reach around to the closure at all.
That said, I knew I was in good hands. AD’s customer service was SO helpful (thanks, Jeanette! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️), sending them back was a breeze, and the 7.5W replacements arrived SO quickly.
TLDR?
The 7.5W are incredibly gorgeous. There’s a lot of wiggle room in the toe box, the T-strap fits great, they’re comfortable, the color is sensational, and, again, Jeanette’s customer service was so helpful.
For longer wear, I do notice the tiiiiiniest bit of tension in the T-strap on my right ankle, but there’s plenty of room to add an extra buckle hole to solve that.
In, the meantime I’ve been swivelling at home on the carpet to break them in and they feel very comfortable for dance. Looking forward to trying them out on the dance floor for real—and finding a dress to match! 💃🏼 Thanks!
