Product description
The slippers in style 21123 resemble ballet shoes and are constructed of a green satin fabric with a framed picture of Tinker Bell’s face sewn on the top of each slipper. Style 21135 is exactly the same except the slippers are pink satin and the framed picture is of Rosetta, instead of Tinker Bell. The bottom portion of each slipper is a non-skid dot sole. The slippers are designed for girls ages two and up who wish to engage in dress-up activity. The slippers are not available in assorted sizes and are of a flimsy construction that would render them unsuitable for any form of practical wear by children. The samples are being returned as requested.
