Description
Of richly draped navy blue silk crepe, the high-waisted dress features short caplet sleeves, faux jacket, Peter Pan collar, a row of self-covered decorative buttons, and all-around swishy pleated skirt with sewn-down pleats to the hips. There is ecru piping at the collar, jacket, sleeve and button edges, and the jacket has wonderful embroidered dancing figures. The dress was worn by Penny (Shirley Temple) in the 1938 film "Just Around the Corner", notably in the tap dance and song "This is a Happy Little Ditty" along with Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. The costume designer for the film was Gwen Wakeling.
