A dreamy original Gunne Sax dress with prairie style fitted bodice, ruffled skirt and built in lacey petticoat. The eponymous 1970s – 1980s label for bohemian romantic dream dresses. This one is probably late 1970s to early 1980s. Cornflower blue with tiny white polka dots and a stark white petticoat popping at the hem. Center back zip which starts just below the collar. Bodice is unlined and skirt has a fully built in petticoat with lace hem which with the gathered front skirt and cord gives the dress a romantic daydream vibe. Could be worn as is or with an extra petticoat to add drama.
