Night at Versailles

Gene is indeed an "elegant presence" in this deep violet satin evening gown accented in lavender, with inverted-pleat tailoring and exquisite beaded ribbon roses detailing the front of the gown. Deep violet evening gloves, lilac chiffon stole, jewelry, shoes, and hose complete the ensemble. Circa 1952. Designed by artist Timothy Alberts for the Gene Marshall Collection.
