Boots
Not on view
These good quality child's button boots are made more attractive by the use of topstitched details and scalloped edges. The looping design of topstitching on the button fly is seen on many examples from the period and is both a decorative enhancement and a functional reinforcement of the buttonholes. The scalloped top is a feature limited mainly to childrenswear, where short skirts would allow such a detail to be seen, and which would mirror the decorative bottom edge of the pantaloons.
