Dancing Shoes (originally released as Wintle's Wonders in the U.K.) is a young adult novel by Noel Streatfeild. It is about two sisters: Rachel and Hilary Lennox, one Happily Adopted, living in 1930s England. Initially they live with their mother in a shabby boarding house, but when their mother dies, the girls are adopted by their Uncle Tom and Aunt Cora, and end up trained in dance, with varying degrees of success.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Beautiful All Along: Rachel. A justified case as the combination of her unusual features, general unhappiness, and being forced into ill-suited fashions make her look plain and awkward for most of the book. She's much prettier when she gains confidence and is allowed dresses and hairstyles that flatter her. When she starts wearing her braids around her head, everyone comments on how much better she looks. Many people even say she looks like she should be the ballerina instead of Hilary because she has "classic beauty".

Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: Vain Dulcie as Beauty, studious Rachel as brains and athletic Hilary as brawn. (While Dulcie is also a dancer her looks are emphasized more.)
