My personal Gunne Sax dress, purchased at Anderson Faire in the Montrose District in Houston, Texas in 1970. My bug had broken down, and I had retired to the nearest watering hole, Prufrock’s (a local literary bistro). Brautigan and Vonnegut were the main topic of discussion, and I decided to season the atmosphere by spending 2 dollars playing a vintage jukebox with strictly foreign 45 rpms. Upon listening to Joni Mitchell’s Big Yellow Taxi / Grand Taxi Jaune (sung in French), enhanced by my 4th glass of Beaujolais, I happened to notice this stunning Gunne Sax dress in the window of Anderson Faire across the street...and the rest is herstory!

Creatures of Habit offers this piece of my heart for the purchase price of $275.00.
Measurements: 34” bust / 28” waist

Creatures of Habit presents this rare, vintage 1960’s-1970’s Gunne Sax by Jessica, Medieval inspired dream dress available for purchase.

Jessica’s Gunne Sax line was inspired in part by the tremendous appeal of Franco Zeffirelli’s film Romeo and Juliet, a Paramount production released in 1968. Romeo says it best in Act 1, Scene 5, and this seems true for anyone who wears a Gunne Sax dress...”O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright.”

Creatures of Habit offers this gem for the purchase price of $345.00.

Labeled size 7 - Note: Vintage sizing does not equal modern sizing, please use the following measurements to achieve an accurate fit- The fabric offers No Stretch

34” Bust
28” Waist
23” Shoulder to Wrist Sleeve Length
42” Hip
15” Shoulder to Waist
54” Shoulder to Hem

Very Good Condition with (1 minor flaw: small hole on left lower skirt of dress which has been expertly repaired with matching fabric) (refer to photo). This rare vintage garment is made of 100% cotton fabric with a burgundy/off white decorative print featuring a contrasting cranberry fabric with center placket design, trimmed in natural patisserie cream cotton cording and with puffed sleeves tightening at the elbow creating a “leg-of-mutton” styling. Please make note of the “black label” on this beautiful “hippie chic” find.

The name "Gunne Sax" was associated with the label's roots in prairie, Victorian, and Edwardian-styled designs which drew on many elements popular in late-19th and early-20th-century American fashion such as lace, gingham and calico.
