Description
Of fine ice-blue fabric with tiny pin-dot pattern, the dress is highlighted by a very wide cotton lace yoke that continues to form little caps over the puffed sleeves, with fitted bodice, slightly gathered skirt trimmed with three bands of scalloped lace, and with a wide sash. Included is a cotton pinafore printed with delicate colorful flowers. Generally excellent. The dress has tag "8205 Shirley Temple". Included are two vintage photos of Shirley Temple wearing the costume. The costume was worn by Shirley Temple in her role of Priscilla in the 1937 film "Wee Willie Winkie", notably in the scene when she visits Khan in prison and, innocently, delivers a message which helps Khan escape; then later as she sits with her doll and a book while watching MacDuff teach "the manly art of self-defense" which she begs to learn.
