Description
The strapless evening gown with crisscross gathered bodice above a triangular-shaped midriff that is completely overlaid with bands of opalescent sequins, and with sheer pale pink floor-length flared skirt above a similar sheer magenta skirt, and a red taffeta skirt. There is a matching magenta stole with pink taffeta lining and a very large pink taffeta bow with extended wide streamers at the back. A favorite lavish gown worn by Shirley Temple as a young lady on very special occasions and for publicity photographs during the 1950s, such as this article which appeared in McCall's, December 1958, speaking of her NBC "Storybook" series, her newly re-released dolls, and Cinderella children's costumes.
