This “Incognito” Edition #706914: dated 1998, is a carefree summery frock perfect for idling away a sunny afternoon in beautiful Italy. Circa 1955.
The sleeveless cotton dress is gaily sprigged in a red floral pattern, with red buttons and organza collar. The fitted bodice hugs Gene’s curves from bustline to hipline, flaring into a billowing skirt over a crisp cotton petticoat.
The outfit includes folding sunglasses, a matching clasp purse with gold chain, a polka dotted chiffon scarf, nylons, gloves, earrings and ankle laced high heel shoes.
Gene’s cornsilk blonde hair tumbles free in the wind, with the sides upswept in a classic French braid affixed with a triple-“pearl” band.
(The white ribbon around her waist is merely to tie her into the box, never undone).
Designed by acclaimed fashion artist Timothy Alberts.

Gene’s box comes with a tri-fold brochure that shares the story of “Incognito”, and she came to wear this outfit and what role she played and “the man behind the legend”… Mel Odom. Also “The story of Gene" which is truly fascinating!

Her blue eyes are intoxicating!

Gene Doll Blond Lace Outfit open link
For Gene, the one costume that gives her genuine star quality is “Blond Lace”, a tuxedo she wears in her first small role as a hatcheck girl. Gene has only a few lines..but her radiant beauty, set off by the dashing black velvet beret and touches of ivory lace make an unforgettable impression. As the credits scroll up at the end of the film, people strain to read the small print, looking for the name of the “unknown” starlet who played that stunning hat check girl…and Gene is on her way to becoming a full-fledged star~ Gene’s three piece tuxedo is tailored of black crepe; the ivory halter top has an attached jabot of extravagant lace. Matching lace appears at the cuffs of the jacket, and a “gardenia” pin on the lapel adds a dashing touch, And is that a gentleman’s cane she holds, as their eyes meet briefly, yet significantly, across the checkroom counter?
This outfit is stunning!

Blond Lace comes with a Certificate of Authenticity #D03580 and a brochure that shares Gene’s dream of going to Hollywood and becoming a star. Also included is a brief biography of Mel Odom the creator of Gene Marshall.

This beautiful outfit comes in a beautiful black cardboard shadow box with the Gene logo on the front and wrapped with an elastic string tied around the cello cover. The box is in pristine condition, with a hard-cello cover and silver chord. A perfect gift for a long time, or that blooming new Gene Marshall collector.
