I love Shirley Temple movies, especially the earliest ones. So when Rissy was little, I wanted to make her a dress that resembled a Shirley oufit. I found a pattern, a dark red cotton fabric with tiny cream polkadots and a coordinating cream fabric with a dark red floral print. Complete with Peter Pan collar, empire waist and tiny sash tie, the dress was ready for Rissy's third birthday; it even had a matching small purse and an old-fashioned pocket doll. I think I was more thrilled than the birthday girl - it was fun to make and fun to see her wear!
