Description
Including blue silk crepe dress with cap sleeves, full-length box pleats and ivory silk faille borders with scrolling soutache embroidery, with original studio label of 3036. And yellow silk dress with inset brown silk yoke and brown silk puffed sleeves, with embroidered-edge applique designs on sleeves and yoke, and white pearl button trim, with original studio label 5336 Shirley T. Included are vintage photographs of Shirley wearing these costumes. Both dresses were worn by Barbara Barry (Shirley Temple) in the 1936 film "Poor Little Rich Girl", notably the blue dress worn in the opening scene as Barbara resists eating her spinach, and the yellow dress worn in the attempted kidnapping scene by the evil neighbor of the Dolans (curiously, the yellow dress was also worn by Shirley in a 1936 movie poster for her next film "Dimples").
