Description
These spats are the first costume piece I have ever made myself. I made them for my steampunk costume.I really liked the idea of the classic white because my steampunk look is mostly black, so they are a very nice contrast. I also found the really awesome buttons at a fabric store that have a very antique look.
I hand sewed them and it took working on them for a few hours each day for four days.

I used duck fabric, very similar to canvas but much softer. I did wear them outside and they did get dusty. but as a costume piece this is very common for me... lol

hmmm... I think that anything you wear on your shoes is going to get dirty, just naturally by being there. if you used leather or fabric coated in some protective substance it would not get dirt in it. or maybe think about a fabric that will be easy to wash and care for.

yes, the spats are not attached to the shoe but only held on by a piece of elastic underneath it. no problem.
