Description
The floor-length party dress features a silver metallic bodice with padded shaping, edged with peach sheer organza ruffles that match the pouf sleeves and the tapered-cut skirt that is accented with flocked dots; the dress has an unusual skirt drape, being designed longer in the front and back than on the sides, and is trimmed with a bronze metallic sash and large petal flowers. The dress has original label 4996. Generally excellent condition. Included is a vintage photograph of Shirley Temple wearing the dress. The costume appeared in the sweet sixteen segment of the "When I Grow Up" scene of the 1935 film "Curly Top", in which young Shirley fantasizes about her grown-up years, and sings "When I am sweet sixteen, I'm going to a ball...I'll wear a dress of silver and lace, they'll call me Princess Curly".
