Vintage 20s Pink Satin PomPom Slippers Daniel Green As-Is VFG
These are an early pair of Daniel Green heeled slippers. I have never seen another that had a cotton quilted lining or a pair with this kind of fringey thread pompom. They are offered at a friendly price - they are still wearable if you can overlook wear and tear - see Condition report and closeup photos.
SIZE: There are numbers printed in the lining and on the outer sole - 355 - which make no sense in terms of a size
Length, heel to toe, inside - 9.5" (24 cm)
Width across widest part of sole - 2.75" (7 cm)
Heel height - 1.75" (4.5 cm)
MATERIALS/COLORS: The outers are matte satin in a soft shade of pink. The pompoms are a deeper pink, and done with the kind of thread used for pillow tassels in that era - it looks feathery. Lining is quilted and cottony, also pink. Insoles.... pink. Outer soles look like leather.
MAKER: Daniel Green
CLOSURES: N/A, these are slip-ons.
CONDITION: There is significant wear to satin surface fabric on the outer toebox of the right shoe - see closeup. There are similar, but smaller areas of wear along the back of the shoe and the heel - see other closeups. External stains are minimal, but insoles are rather dark
I measure the outside of garments, unless stated otherwise.
For menswear, the chest is measured at armpit level.
For womenswear, the bust is measured a little below armpit level, including the room created by darts or gathers.
Waist will be measured if there is one, and hips are measured about 9" below waist level. Sleeves are measured from shoulder seam or an approximation in the absence of a shoulder seam. Garment length is measured from the back of the neck, unless otherwise stated.
The measurement numbers refer to the garment, not the body inside. For best fit, measure a similar type of garment which fits you well and compare.
If the garment is shown on Josephine, my mannequin, her measurements are 31/24.5/34". Sometimes she wears a padded bra. My live models measurements vary depending on the day and year, and I don't ask them to share that.
