These little girls' Chinese embroidered shoes have survived the 1940's when they were well used.  They posess a lot of charm with the pretty little dragons embroidered along their sides.  There are little ankle straps that have littl snaps for closure.  You can see in the photos that the bottoms have the typical darkening coloring from the ground that little girl covered.  I know for sure they are from the 1940's, because they formally belonged to my sister who was born in 1943 and wore them when she was around two years old, maybe three.  There is little loosening of fibers that can be seen in the pics, but they sure are so darn cute!  Thank you for looking.
