A Deluxe Birthday Celebration

Monolithic Studios' star Gene Marshall wears a chic cocktail ensemble guaranteed to turn heads on her special day. Miss Marshall's "Deluxe" long, evening gown is dramatically transformed with very little sewing. Well, maybe just a smidge. The original pink bow has been replaced with a gold silk sash, fringed to reveal the same color as the dress. The two-tiered peplum becomes single by tucking the lower flounce under the upper tier. The hemline was also just folded under to the desired length.

Accessories include jewels from Michael Scott, dramatic fur from D.A.E. Originals, and gloves from Ashton Drake. The original "Deluxe" fashion, shoes, and the re-coiffed Shadow Song Gene Marshall are all from Integrity.

Happy Birthday

Miss Marshall!

An old pillowcase transformed into a sleek sheath. A fashionable topper made by using a vinegar bottle as a hat block. Sometimes what's in your kitchen cabinet or linen closet can yield unexpected, hidden treasure. It's just a matter of looking at items in a new way.
