It's possible that back in 1936, when Noel Streatfeild was writing Ballet Shoes, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballet_Shoes_%28novel%29) and your old lady was probably being born, it might have had some charm.
Nowadays, however, it just calls to mind a loathsomely befrilled and precocious little pageant kid who is really, really posey: http://www.definition-of.net/posey
