Gene is seen here in a 40's inspired concoction, of black wool crepe, with flared short skirt, beaded bodice with scalloped cap sleeves. The design is reminiscent of Chrysanthe's in bloom, the blue especially highlighting her lovely eyes. Also included is a beaded purse, beaded hat, cluster earrings, gloves and a snood.
