Description
Of robin's egg blue silk crepe, the dress features all-around narrow pleats centered by a flat front and edged with lace; there is an extended pleated collar with intermittent lace bands and matching blue silk cord bows. Included is a photograph of Shirley wearing the dress. The costume, designed by Royer, was worn by Ching-Ching (Shirley Temple) in the 1936 film "Stowaway", notably in the scene with Susan Parker (Alice Faye) when she changes from her Chinese costume to this dress, bought in the dress shop of the steam ship. Shirley exclaims, "I've never had a dress as nice as this" while twirling around, and then meets up with Uncle Tommy (Robert Young) where she exclaims, "I'm a stowaway, but I didn't mean to be".
