and I used the same method when purchasing Gene fashions that first year. I would punch out the paper doll, then the first fashions I cut out were always suits, so then the paper doll could go out shopping to "buy" herself some more clothes she would need ...a nightie, a day dress, and a gown. So my first three fashions purchased for Gene were Goodbye New York, The Kiss, and Blue Evening. It may not be the start of the perfect capsule fashion collection, but for me, Gene has always been story-driven.
