Gene Marshall, the iconic star of Monolithic Studios, wears a modern gown that gives a nod to the Art Deco style of the 1930's and early 1940's. Many of the glamorous gowns of this period made use of color-blocking and geometric shapes.

Wow! That outfit is stunning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave! The funny thing is that I didn't like this gown at first, and it's been tucked away for awhile. I recently rediscovered it and now I love it on Priceless. I also think it fits a little better on an Ashton Drake body rather than an Integrity one. Melissa

ReplyDeleteMy pleasure Megin! I didn't warm up to this one at first, but on the right doll it's a keeper. Melissa
DeleteI love the design of this dress! I don't know very much about all the different body sizes and which gals can share clothes with Gene, so I really appreciate you sharing your "other gal" clothing finds.
