Description
Of rich aqua silk satin, the scooped neck evening dress with cap sleeves has a dart-fitted bodice and widely flared skirt, and is decorated with eight rows of pearls that are appliqued to the neckline in elaborate scroll design. Shirley Temple wearing the costume was photographed in the May 1950 issue of Photoplay in the Hollywood Clothesline; the caption noted that the dress was designed by Elois Jenssen, a former classmate (slightly older) at Westlake School, who went on to win an Academy Award for Best Costume Design for "Samson and Delilah" in 1951.
