Vintage Gunne Sax Sundress & Bolero Jacket











This one was just to good to let get by. From the velvet accented bodice to the long, flowing skirt with hidden pockets, it is a wonderful sight. Not only that, the bolero jacket is it's match with a lapel of the same rosy copper velvet. as with the typical Boho or prairie style Gunne's, the fabric is acotton blend of darkblue with a floral pattern.the identifier is a contrasting fabric in floral and stripes. This is a Gorgeous pice and be careful because it fits Me. The bust is 34", empire waist 27", hips-free and length 59". the jacket has 24" long sleeves, 35 1/2" at the bust, 16" in length and the bottom totals 33".




I pride myself on having some of the best Gunne's on the web. This one has no signs of wear and the colors are true. I hope that you enjoy it!

Vintage Gunne Sax Dress Sequins and Taffeta







This is an absolutely Magnificent dress by Gunne Sax. Crisp, mulberry colored taffeta and sequins are combined for this tremendous fashion composition. As a Rule, I usually don't go into a lot of the Gunne Sax dresses that were made in the 80s but, this is a definite exception. It's truly meant for a Modern Day Princess. Check out these pics. If you want to see more, go to www.zibbet.com/artemis53 I also have this gown in a size 14 that is new with tags. Shoot me an email on the Zibbet site and I can give you more info.

Vintage Gunne Sax Prom Dress Taffeta and Sequins


Here we go again but into the 1980s. This was an Era of Excesses. Their was a Rising Affluence in the Baby Boomers and Mini-Mansions were springing up. The 'Dot Com' boom was starting to take root and everything needed to be either bigger or pricier.

All of these things were reflected in the Fashion. 'Big Hair' was teamed up with Big skirts and many so-called Hippies made a transition into Yuppies. 'Extreme' was a word that was embraced. dresses couldn't get enough sequins and beads and Logos were Born and nurtured. This dress has those features with the full skirt, sequins and wide shawl collar with a bowed rosette. The only vestiges of the 70's simplicity of style was in the country where many had moved to 'grow there own' and have wide open spaces. The city's were lit with ligts, beads and sequins.
