Shirley Temple…Early 1940s Clothes

DV007_590The Shirley Temple doll from 1939 and the clothes my mother and sister made for them in the early 1940s are now stored in my cedar chest: a wool coat with a real fur collar and matching hat, a two-piece black taffeta party dress with wool embroidery and, impressively, a wool snowsuit and hat to match my own.
