Catalogue Number: GOLCV 1/2004

The child's round-toed shoes are in light blue leather and feature ankle straps fastened with self-covered button. There is a round 'flower' detail at the front constructed of folded taffeta with at least 4 layers to the flower in decreasing circles creating a domed effect.  The shoes are lined with cream leather and have leather soles.

There is a photograph of Thelma Woodhouse (nee Baxter) wearing the shoes whilst she was a Flower Girl in 1925.
