    "Monaco"
    Gene Doll
    Doll and Outfit are in Mint Condition
    This gown was originally sold separately, and is shown on the Gene Doll Collector Card on a Monaco doll.
    Blue Evening is a twilight blue satin gown with accents of deep rose at the shaped bosom, and its own separate pink net crinoline.  Includes rhinestone pin, pearl earrings, pink chiffon stole, pink three strand beaded necklace with closure, hose and matching shoes.  Circa 1953, Blue Evening was designed exclusively for Gene by Timothy Alberts.
    I added pink ribbons to hold the blue sandals on, and I sewed matching sheer blue ribbons for straps on the gown.
    Includes Gene Stand and Box
    Includes "Monaco" Story Card and Certificate of Authenticity  and Collector Card for the Blue Evening gown.
    About Gene Dolls and Costumes
    Dolls feature hand painted faces, hand applied eyelashes, period coiffures, micro-rooted and styled by hand.
    Wardrobe iscrafted of quality fabrics like those worn by real Hollywood stars of the era.
    Costumes have impeccable tailoring details--hand-sewn fastenings, beadwork, and ribbon embroidery.  Dresses and coats are fully lined.
    Accessories are designed precisely to scale, and are the stuff of fashion legends:  seamed hosiery, hats, headbands, shoes, shawls, gloves, handbags, crinolines, earrings, bracelets, and necklaces, all upscale and designed especially for each outfit.
    I have never seen any contemporary  fashion doll as well designed and finished as Gene dolls and their costumes by Ashton Drake.   I believe you will be amazed with the quality and attention to detail.
    Come...share the dream...
    I have been a serious collector of all types of dolls for the last fifty years.  I am selling my personal collection.
    Many are NRFB from the years when I was a doll dealer.
