Description
A sleeveless peach silk crepe dress has narrow pleats falling fron the high waist and self-covered buttons down the yoke. Atop the sleeveless bodice is a pink pique jacket with diamond-point edging and puffed sleeves with matching trim. The dress is tagged "4757". Generally excellent, some sleeve dustiness. The dress was worn by Shirley Temple at the 1935 Academy Awards Ceremony when she was awarded her small-sized Oscar statuette by Irwin J. Cobb who had humorously announced the petite star as "one great towering figure...one giant among the troupers". A vintage photograph of Shirley Temple wearing this dress as she received the Oscar is included.
