It means: reduce her status to that of a kitchen maid.
This sounds like the story of Cinderella 🤔....

Not exactly sure, but, based on context, it sounds like somebody’s about to get demoted. She may have been once with wealth (able to afford pretty dresses) and then had it all taken away (wooden shoes).
It reminds me of the 90’s movie “A Little Princess”. Great movie!

Native speaker here - - - it doesn't seem like normal English. Maybe it's something archaic.
