It is 1953 and Gene is on her way to a private screening of her new movie "Sea Spree". The screening is being held at producer Eric Von Sternburg's fabulous villa. For this affair, Gene is wearing a one of a kind ensemble called "Emerald Harvest". Her emerald silk sheath dress has long sleeves with shoulders embroidered with silk ribbon and beads in a range of fall colors in rust, orange and yellows. The dress is accented with an embroidered belt and clutch purse. In her hair is an embroidered comb. Gene's outfit is finished by a complementary necklace, bracelet and earrings.
Mary Sorrano
"Cocktails at Eight" includes: the dress, which is fully lined and has been machine embroidered with medium pink metallic flowers, matching embroidered and beaded purse, short white gloves, necklace, earrings and bracelet, headband style silk flowered hat and mink stole with "Gene" monogrammed inside.
Terri Torbeck
Gene wears this elegant emerald green suit, certain to create a sensation where ever she goes. The outfit is edged with shimmering gold stitching/beading and features a graceful satin cascade flowing down the left side of the dress. The ensemble includes a flirtatious emerald, gold and black hat, black shoes, emerald and gold clutch purse, black gloves and nylons, and emerald/golden tone necklace, earrings and bracelet. This fashion is based on a 1940s Vogue suit and was created by Terri Torbeck.
Mara Woolf
Add some "Versatility" to your Gene's wardrobe with this chic mix-and-match green silk ensemble! Who would have ever thought that two classic pieces like a strapless sheath dress and a jacket could create such diverse looks. Start with the jacket over the dress, add a fashionable polka-dot silky crepe wrap, black wide brim hat, black gloves, hat box, and glasses - Gene is all set for a causual aftenoon of
shopping downtown! A cocktail party later in the evening? No problem, leave the jacket at home and let the dress show off Gene's knockout figure! Add the detachable flower and bead cluster to the waistline and top it off with a flower accented veiled hat to create a new look.
A matching purse, long white gloves, cigarette holder, and rhinestone jewelry provide the perfect finishing touches. Oh, and don't forget the bottle of champagne and a couple of cocktail glasses. And lastly, Gene will be the center of attention at the Ladies Club luncheon wearing the jacket with upturned collar and a belt. As a crowning touch add a pillbox hat accented with irridescent peacock feathers. Black gloves, gold ball earrings, and a black faux lizard purse complete the look.
All in all here's what you get: fully lined silk strapless dress; fully lined silk jacket that can be worn with collar up or down, and with or without the belt (both pieces are lined in pale green); long and short, black and white gloves; pillbox hat, veiled hat, and wide brim hat; faux lizard black belt with matching purse and hatbox; gold ball earrings (14k) and golden chain necklace; rhinestone necklace, earrings, and braclet; polka-dot wrap and purse, black eyeglasses; cigarette holder; champagne bottle with two glasses; green cocktail purse; nude thigh high stockings and matching green shoes.
