Hello all,
Would these be 1950s?
The beading is loose/lost in a few places, but not too bad. The main problem is a stain on the 'platform' satin...not sure what it is but am wondering if there is anything that can be tried?
Thanks in advance,
Lauren

I would first try a few drops of rubbing alcohol--swabbed on with a Q-tip, then "rinsed" with just a hair of warm water on a clean Q-tip. If that doesn't work, I'd mix a few drops of the rubbing alcohol with a few drops of woolite, mixed with just a wee bit of warm water (my usually effective "go to" cleaning mixture). Swab on, let sit a few minutes, then rinse off with a lightly damp Q-tip. Be sure to not get the satin too damp.... The alcohol not only cleans, but it dries the area faster to aid against water spotting. And on these shoes, don't get any of the mixture on the sequins!

I'm thinking 60s on the shoes, but not sure.... Very pretty!
 
I think they are closer to 1970ish and I don't think you will be able to clean them because of the mixed materials. You can try the alcohol, but don't use water, you will only make them worse.
