Peach Silk Crepe Dress Worn by Shirley Temple in the 1936 Film "Stowaway"

Live Auction

Of peach silk crepe, the flare-sided front has hidden pleats at the center front and sides that allow fluid movement, Peter Pan collar, short puffed sleeves, grommets and blue silk lacing at the bodice and sleeve edges, and blue silk edging at the front pleats. Included is a vintage photograph of Shirley wearing the dress. The dress was worn by Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple) in the 1936 film "Stowaway", notably during the "marriage in name only" wedding scene of Uncle Jimmy (Robert Young) and Susan Parker (Alice Faye); the faux marriage designed to save Ching-Ching from being sent to an orphanage.
