Boots

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rendered in an eye-catching glossy pale pink satin, this pair of girl's button boots is a classic of the era, with its scalloped fly, shaped top, and milk glass buttons. The high quality is evinced by the details, most notably the appealing and beautifully crafted heel, the precise stitching with tacks at stress points, and the matching pink leather facing.
