Description: This darling Shirley Temple dress is made of blue cotton pique; there are embroidered flowers on the bodice and each gathered short sleeve. I have had this dress for more than 20 years in my dolly closet and did not realize it 'belongs' to the 1930s composition Ideal Shirley Temple doll. I grew curious about it when as happenstance a red dress just like this one sold very recently here on eBay. I dug out my Shirley Temple reference books and here I show the dress from the Shirley 'bible' by Tonya Bervaldi-Camaratta; she identifies the dress on page 32 from the movie 'Curly Top' from 1935 (see ref. photo). Patricia Smith's reference, "Shirley Temple Dolls and Collectibles" on page 14, identifies the dress as from "Poor Little Rich Girl" in 1936; and, as having been made for Ideal's Shirley by Molly'e. I am not a Shirley Temple collector, so I am unsure what size doll this dress was made for, but my guess is 17" to 18" (or 20"?). PLEASE use your own experience and judgment for accuracy. Approximate measurements: Shoulder to hem 7-3/4"Laid flat underarm to underarm seam 6-1/4" I have placed a BIN price on this, but please feel free to make an offer, as I am basing the value on the price the red one sold for recently that was for a 16" doll.
