Description
The two-piece silk costume features a smoky-blue patterned silk tunic with high neck having soutache closures which are repeated down the side of the front. Along with aqua silk pants with woven ribbon band at the ankles. Generally excellent. The costume has studio label 6618 Temple on both tunic and pants. Included is an amusing photograph of Shirley Temple wearing the costume. The costume appears in the opening scenes of the 1936 film "Stowaway" as Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple) speaks Chinese and English, orders a soup bone for her dog, and becomes an accidental stowaway on the steamer that is carrying Tommy Randall (Robert Young) to Hong-Kong.
