Even More Black Cocktailers

Here are the rest of the 24 black cocktailers I made.

If this dress looks a little familiar it is because it was inspired by this gorgeous DeaAnna Denton dress.

When I cut of the bottom of the pleated skirt that I used to make the "Rear Window" dress, I knew I had to make Gene a copy of DeeAnna's dress. Of course it's not exact, but Gene loves her version of DeeAnna's dress.





I cut the scalloped part off of some lace trim and sewed it to the bodice neckline.




"Twilight Girl" is wearing a dress made with the same lace bodice and a full circle chiffon skirt.







Here is the same bodice with a lace skirt. I think the shorter skirt gives it more of a late 50's early 60's look.

I wish I had used red flowers instead of pink ones.




Color Deal Gene



Color Deal Gene was not on my list of "Must Haves" when she first came out. I didn't think I had a use for a bubble cut Gene doll. Then I saw Jurrie's pictures and I had to have her. I can personally blame Jurrie for several of my newer Genes. Color Deal falls into the late 50's-early 60's category for me. I can't wait to sew for her. She takes lovely photos.



Here she is modeling the Ashton Drake outfit "She'd Rather Dance".









I think she looks especially lovely in Violet's "Glowing Review".





I love her in "Cameo".
