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?!
I love the concept of that outfit, but the scale seems a little off; the pattern on the lace overlay of the dress seems too large, and like you said, I'm not crazy about the sleeves; they should either be removed or tailored better. I am sure there was a concern about putting on and removing the outfit; the sleeves stand a good chance of snagging the tighter they are. So many things to factor in!

ReplyDeleteHi Dave - yes, I never thought that the sleeves may snag if they were tighter (Durgh!) so I will forgive AD for the bad fitting LOL! I can live with the overscale lace (unlike the flowers on the hat!). Thanks for posting xx
