Sunset on the Seine

This is another AD Gene outfit that I got in the salesroom at the Paris Fashion Doll Festival in 2007. it was an outfit made for Violet Waters and is called 'Evening Sunset' and was destined for ebay but when I downloaded the picture I changed my mind!

It is a beautiful copper-coloured satin with a midnight blue lace overlay. The shoes are a bit average (just ribbon slides in midnight blue) and I hated the ridiculous flower arrangement on the veiled headpiece - so that got snipped off - but the dress itself is quite good quality. I think the mesh sleeves could have done with being a fraction tighter as they look a bit too wide, but all in all, the design is really pretty.

The box was the same as all the AD Gene outfit boxes but it did have a 'Violet' logo sticker on it (similar to the oval silver 'Gene' logo) and the hose were more of a tan colour rather than nude to match Ms Waters colouring.

'Color Deal' Ivy is modelling the complete 'Evening Sunset' outfit from AD (minus the flower on the veiled hat and the tan hose).

Ahhhh .... now did I get anything in Paris for Gene in 2010? ... what do you think?!

Off to the Paris Fashion Doll Festival....

Getting excited now as I am off to the Paris Fashion Doll Festival in less than three days! Woo Hoo!In the main I am going to attend the two Sybarite events - 'Speak and Spell' on Thursday, 11th March and then 'Disco 3000' on Friday 12th March. Gene and friends have not featured there for years but they do still have Gene items in the sales room on the Sunday.

I always try to bring a little something back for Gene, and my last Paris purchase was the beautiful 'Diamond Evening' in 2008 (I did not get chance to buy anything last year as I literally had 15 minutes in the sales room before I had to dash to the airport!)

In the past the prices for the Gene items have always been very reasonable ... I wonder if they get a hike this year due to the end of the Gene line? Either way, I am sure to come back with something for one of the Monolithic stars!
