Pair of Evening Shoes
For evening events women wore slingback-style shoes. They were often covered with fabric rather than leather. This pair of shoes completed an ensemble consisting of a cocktail dress with a tie belt and a large folding fan. The delicate straps once tore out at the instep. Because textile is easier to sew back together than leather, only the upper layer, made of silk fabric, was repaired.
