Description
The ecru silk pajamas are printed with colorful stripes in blue, green and red in varying widths, comprising a shirt top with eight pearl buttons, attached belt with decorative matching buttons, short sleeves; along with a pair of matching pants with side zipper. There is some minor spotting at the pant ankles. The ensemble was worn by Shirley Temple for her title role as the 12-year-old Kathleen in the 1941 film. The film signified her return from "retirement", and was the only film she made for MGM. Included is a vintage photograph of Shirley wearing the costume.
