Label TextMrs. Emma Sery wore these kid-lined, satin shoes on her November 29, 1877 wedding day. The colour of the shoes as well as the bow and pleated decorative element make them stand out from everyday footwear. Mrs. Sery might have saved these shoes to be worn for special occasions after her wedding. But their lack of wear suggests she saved them as a memento of her special day.
