Description
Of very delicate sheer pink silk organza, the straight-cut dress features pleated front with intermittent bands of matching pleated lace, and with a three-tiered cape-collar of alternate lace and organza, with silk rose petal and coral silk streamer ornamentation. The dress was worn by Barbara Barry (Shirley Temple) in the 1936 film "Poor Little Rich Girl", notably as she performs the song "When I'm With You" on the Peck Soap Hour, thereby initiating a series of events in which everyone is happily reconciled and love prevails.
