About the Item

Full length and elaborate 1970s Gunne Sax cotton lace and teal velvet dress. This is a one of the more expensive medieval inspired gowns designed by Jessica McClintock which dates from the middle of the decade. It is in an unbleached poplin cotton with velveteen teal inserts encompassing the waistband, deep V neck, front apron panel and tapered, zip up cuffs. The dress has been adorned with two types of crochet lace on the belt and some of the trims in the teal, the back of the yolk and then there is a cobweb style lace for the sheer sleeves. The dress has three tiers for the skirt with the final having a deep gathered flounce. There is a front fastening lace up section in the corset which is entirely adjustable and can be tightened or loosened to suit the wearer’s preference. The zip is original to the dress and is covered by a placket. There is a side tie belt; this is very generous and is almost the length of the dress so it could be wrapped round several times as desired. These dresses were worn to events and parties and tend to have suffered over time but this dress is in remarkably good condition. We note just the tiniest, thumbprint-size faded stain on the bottom flounce, together with some faded marks probably where somebody spilt a drink. There is a tiny thread of discoloration on the lace trim on the front panel. They're extremely difficult to spot when worn - your eye is not drawn to them at all. These would improve with further treatment over time. Lace is in superb condition and the velvet is excellent – no blemishes. Around a best fit for size a UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
