    The heel is very high and the toe part is very low showing toe cleavage. The brand is Southern Charm, about which I can find nothing.

    Pretty!

    Now Jonathan can tell you much closer to the exact year, but I am pretty sure those are early 50s, maybe even 1948, and part of the New Look style

    are those brocade Ellen?
    from my end it almost looks like damask.

    Lovely! Maybe these were for a bride.

    What does the label read?

    I'd call it brocade rather than damask. The label is Southern Charm, Lizzie. They do look like they might have been a bride's shoes. There is not much wear on them.

    Its the lighting that made them remind me of damask.

    For what it's worth, I'm seeing a lot of high-end round-toe pumps in magazine editorials and ads. Wonderful shoes, great find!

  9. Oooh, I like those. Maybe you could put Toe Peep in the title!

    Hollis is right, late 1940s - early 1950s. Possibly bridal, but silver brocade baby doll pumps like these were popularly worn with satin or tulle evening gowns as well, and a matching silver purse.
