Paying tribute to the themes and aesthetic of the magical world of Wonderland are these [costume shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vida-collection) by [Irregular Choice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-collection). The heels opt for a surrealist design and collage of various patterns, prints and fabrics to create a design that perfectly captures the topsy turvy nature of Wonderland and the characters that live there.

The heels are an amalgamation of a variety of Victorian styles and themes paired together in a haphazardly manner. Prints of ornate blue flowers are paired with metallic gold trim, blue velvet, bows and stills from the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) film version. Elements of the film are also found in the embroidered flowers along the right side of the shoes that are based off of the singing flowers in the garden. The heels are also creatively made out of a figurine of Alice.
