Gunne Sax was a small dress manufacturing company in San Francisco, started in 1967

Gunne Sax was known for nostalgic “granny dresses” and soon the look expanded into prairie dresses and Victorian- and Edwardian-inspired designs in the 1970s and into the early 1980s.

This label is consistent with styles produced in the 70s

CONDITION:

Good to fair condition - multiple small holes throughout, many of them are not noticeable, but they are numerous. Unfortunately, the metallic flowers on the bodice seam to have worn and torn over the years. Holes have been treated with Fray Check, and some have been repaired on the bodice. The previous wearer also must have stepped on the front of the hem, which has several tears at the bottom, which have been reinforced with fusible interfacing, see pictures. There are a few faint stains, which are not noticeable, one on the front bust area and one on the bottom hem near the tears. I priced it at $150 because of the damages, other authentic Gunne Sax dresses from the 70s are priced at over $200-450
