Beautiful silk taffeta dress and bonnet screen-worn by Shirley Temple in ''The Little Colonel'' from 1935. Shirley wears this elaborate costume in several important scenes in the film, such as when she sings ''Love's Young Dream'' to her grandfather. Costume was designed by Hollywood designer William Lambert and includes: Fitted dress with full skirt featuring three layers of scalloped ruffles, adorned with bright pink silk chiffon roses. Roses also appear on the shoulders. Lace pantalettes appear underneath the hooped petticoat, consistent with 19th century formal girl's wear. The matching periwinkle blue bonnet is lined in satin with silk streamers and adorned with pink silk chiffon roses and a white boa feather. Much of the taffeta is heavily torn, but dress still displays beautifully. Accompanied by a vintage photo of Shirley Temple wearing the dress in the movie.
