One Sheath Dress...Three Quick Changes

Transform a simple dress with a dash of bold color...a froth of tulle...the luxury of mink.

A classic, black silk sheath from Bogue's Vogues provides the perfect backdrop for accessory changes.  Famous film star Miss Gene Marshall generously agrees to model three different looks for us.

You look Mahvelous darling!  Here's to many more years of glamour and fun.

A Touch of Glamour

By the mid 1950's the cocktail dress was feminine, alluring, and oh so chic.  Among the popular high heeled fashion dolls of the era, the full-skirted, drop-waist styles were top sellers.

Inspired by a vintage Cissy cocktail ensemble, Miss Gene Marshall pairs the taffeta dress from A Touch of Hospitality (sans the belt) with the black velvet bolero from Hacienda.  A classic feather and tulle hat with asymmetric veiling tops the glamorous look.

Cissy cocktail ensemble #2017 by Madame Alexander. Circa 1956.

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!
