Sparkling Angel

I got this outfit just yesterday from a friend who is selling off her Gene collection. She has a lot of very rare items and convention pieces from the AD days and I have to say that a lot of it is very tempting indeed, but I need to focus on saving for the Paris Fashion Doll Festival 2010 so I was quite 'good' but I could NOT resist this gorgeous ensemble!

'Sparking Angel' was an Exclusive for Haute Doll magazine in 2005 (I think?!) and was a dressed doll. I cannot remember the initial cost but I think she was quite pricey and then there would have been the customs fee and shipping on top.

I always liked this outfit but never actually thought I'd ever get it, so I was really thrilled and dressed 'Green Eyes' Gene in it immediately - I think she does look angelic!

It is nicely made and is trimmed with real Swarovski crystals. The hat and mules are gorgeous and the fur on the cuffs is very nice quality too which is important to me (I hated the fur used on 'Goodbye New York!). My only 'complaint' is that it should have had a bag with it.

'Sparkling Angel' is a luscious two-piece suit, circa 1945. Gene sparkles in a champagne satin suit, studded with iridescent Swarovski crystals on the jacket's lapels and, as a final touch, fabulous fur trims the sleeves. Iridescent Swarovski crystals also cover Gene's charming matching feathered hat. Gene's drop earrings also feature Swarovski crystal and her clear mules have 'Swarovski crystals on their champagne-coloured heels. Also comes with a creme chiffon scarf and light beige long gloves.
