Regina Ganem designed both of those outfits, one in 1999 and one in 2000. The Perfect Gift was one of three outfits from here in El Paso through Young Designers of America. Love in Bloom was the next year when we held our own competition called Gene Designer 2000.

Joan Green was the brilliance behind so many Share the Dream ideas! I love that woman.

Hugs,

PS - other designs from here include Spotted in the Park and Bolero (although the original was much more gorgeous with a true Ranchera outfit with a long skirt (vs gaucho). Then Special Appearance for Violet and Torch Song. What fun we had during those years.

We are doing another doll design competition this year but it is not with Gene since we could not afford to give Gene dolls for the contestants to dress, Boohoo and LOL
