. "Pair of baby's ankle-strap shoes, of pink ribbed silk, lined with white cotton. The shoes have flat leather soles, and are bound throughout with deep pink silk ribbon; the throats are trimmed with ruching of matching ribbon, and the binding of the true left ankle-straps extends into a loop fastening for the single conical white glass button with which each pair of straps fastens at the centre. Shoes of this type were were more usually professionally embroidered, but the vamps are decorated with amateur embroidery: a spray of flowers and foliage worked in white silks using satin and back stitches; the back quarters are embroidered in white silks using feather stitch."@en . . .
