This dress is made from a lightweight cotton or cotton blend fabric that features a vivid and busy print in blues, lilac, yellow and white. The 'vibe' of the pattern is very Persian and I believe it is officially called, or referred to as 'The Horseman Print' because it features a fanciful knight or horseman, atop his steed, and holding a feather in his hand. The cut and silhouette are somewhat Renaissance-inspired, with an empire style high waistline featuring a lace-up lower neckline with cotton cord lacing in ivory. The sleeves are incredible, puffed down to mid-forearm, then graduate to a super wide zip-up cuff with the contrast Horseman print in white. The skirt is very full and is made up of three long tiers of gently gathered fabric. The notable jute trim, often found on black label Gunne Sax, decorates the neckline, empire waist and cuffs. There is a center back, nylon zipper closure in lilac (matches cuff zippers!). Only label reads 'Gunne Sax by Jessica, San Francisco' and overall condition is absolutely excellent to near mint, with a light, unnoticeable mark near hem and no flaws to note. Please review photographs for full details.
