Description
Of fine cream silk sateen, the dress has horizontal bands forming the high bodice that extend beyond the shoulders to form into box-pleated short sleeves, with flat front panel and box pleats extending the vertical length of the dress, and decorated with embroidered colorful alphabet letters. Excellent condition, one small spot. The dress was worn in the 1935 film "Our Little Girl" during the cozy evening scene as Dad tells Molly (Shirley) that it's time for bed and then Molly puts her Scottie out for his evening walk. Included are two publicity photographs for the film (originally named "Heaven's Gate) in which Shirley is wearing the costume. Also included is an original framed costume sketch on parchment with proposed design for the costume (note that the original sketch included numbers as well as letters). The sketch is attributed to the famed costumer, Rene Hubert, who is credited with costume design for this film.
