"My Shirley"

Fabric: Lightweight white satin with large red dots, lightweight contrasting white satin
Inspired by Shirley Temple's classic white and red polka dotted dress, this adult-sized version will make you're on the Good Ship Lollipop.
The white satin skirt fits a full petti, shown here on 100-yard crystalline one (not included). Skirt is 180" around and its fullness comes from the pleats at the waist. The feature of the skirt are the horizontal rows of red ribbon going across the bottom, complimented by the wider red flat red lace along the hem.
Bodice is LINED and has the traditional round Peter Pan collar, and is finished with bias made of white satin, which is hand-stitched on the inside for a professional finish. A Collar has ruffled red lace sandwiched between the fabric and lining. A large red ribbon bow finishes off the center front neckline.
Along the waist of the front, a wide red ribbon goes from side to side, and two bows are made to sit horizontally across the center front.
White sashes stem from the side seams and tie into a lovely feminine bow at the center back. There is a center back zipper, with a hook & eye closure at the top.
Full pouffy white satin sleeves are elasticized for a comfortable fit. They feature the traditional UniKaren triangular overlay in the main fabric, with the flat red lace along the edges, and trimmed with the red ribbon. They are pleated at the shoulder for a professional finish.
Matching accessories complete this outfit. There are two hair bows. Each consists of two bows, a larger white satin bow covered with the wide red ribbon bow, with a narrow red ribbon for the knot. A white ribbon double bow is then glued to the knot. They are attached to barrettes.
Bloomers feature four rows of ruffles across the rear. These are finished with white lace trim along the top edge, and wider red flat lace along the bottom. This is in keeping with the horizontal red stripe theme of the dress. Little red ribbon bows adorn the side seams. Elasticized at the waist and leg openings for maximum comfort.
A wrist cuff is made from the polka dot fabric, with white lace edging around the top edge, and the red flat lace along the bottom. A large red ribbon bow adorns the center front.
