Although obscured by a full-length gown and petticoat, the fashionable eighteenth-century woman's shoe was a frankly luxurious and feminine, albeit impractical, accessory. In contrast to the sturdy leather of working women's shoes, those worn by "ladies of quality" were made of rich dress silks. The pliancy of the woven silk allowed the show to conform to the shape of the foot, as did the construction of the shoes as "straights," that is, without a designated left and right. The sinuous lines of this brocaded silk pair with upturned toe—possibly made to match a dress of the same fabric—suggests the rococo forms prevalent in the period.
