Darling little girl's dress owned and worn by Shirley Temple. Dress of apricot silk chiffon features a skirt with narrow pleats and yoke with delicate lace overlay in the same color, extending out to little short sleeves. Empire waist is decorated with 6 layered satin ribbons in alternating green and peach, tied in a rosette over the left rib area. Dress buttons up the back on top with four small iridescent white buttons; lace yoke also buttons over the same area with six tiny rounded pearlescent buttons. Within is sewn an ''Elise of Hollywood'' label. Accompanied by a pair of vintage 8'' x 10'' photos of Temple with the dress; in one photo she is pictured wearing it, and in the other she is standing in front of her closet holding it on its hanger. Dress measures 12.5'' x 22.25''. A few spots and an area of discoloration to the lace yoke over the back of the left shoulder. Very good. With a COA signed by the Shirley Temple estate.
