When Integrity relaunched Ms Madra Lord with the FAO Exclusive 'Midas Touch' I was delighted! I always liked Madra; she was the devil to Gene's angel ... a bit like Rizzo vs Sandy! Now to get anything direct from FAO to the United Kingdom is nigh on impossible ... useless website and riduculous shipping cost being the two main obstacles, so I resigned myself to being Madra-less for a while.
This served me well in long run because I saw 'Metropolitan Madra' and just had to have her. It did help that a very nice US seller was willing to ship her to the UK, so over to old Blighty my first Integrity Madra came! I just did not like her outfit one little bit and sold it almost immediately; it was a wine coloured satin gown with big winged sleeves and totally average jewellery and shoes ... just not my thing!
'El Morocco' is one of the Gene outfits that I kept. The fit isn't fabulous but I like the length and the tulle overskirt is cute. It was also one the few AD outfits to come with black hose. I keep meaning to do something better with the hat!
'Metropolitan Madra' by integrity is modelling the dress, overskirt, cuff, earrings, hose and clutch purse from 'El Morocco' by Ashton Drake. Hat by Fil Baldowski. Crystal butterfly heels by Doll-Scum.
The shoes are a FORCE!!!!! The outfit is really cool (I think one of my favorites from A-D Gene) and the heels really up the outfit even more EXPONENTIALLY!!!! They are awesome!!!!!! {especially with the black hosiery!!!! yes:)}
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Byanca! Yes it is a nice outfit. I prefer the cocktail dresses to gowns a lot of the time!
