Fur-Trimmed Ivory Satin Robe Worn by Shirley Temple in the 1939 Film "The Little Princess"

Live Auction

Of ivory satin, lined with soft red satin, the floor-length robe has quilting detail, vibrant embroidered flowers in shades of red, blue and yellow, and fur edging all around the edges and hems, along with silk rope cord with tassel ends. Generally excellent. Included are two vintage photographs depicting Shirley Temple wearing the robe. The costume designer for this film was Gwen Wakeling. The costume was worn by Sara Crewe (Shirley Temple) following waking from "The Fantasy Scene" in the 1939 film "The Little Princess", to find that her cold and threadbare garret room has been transformed to a room with a cozy warm fireplace with soft quilts, a breakfast table with delicious foods, and, at the foot of her bed, this luxurious robe.
