Check out the bodice and neckline on this vintage 1970s Gunne Sax dress.

It’s so beautiful I want to have babies with it.

I copped from a fabulous local vintage store that used to be called American Vintage. but it seems like they changed their name to Memo’s Vintage. They’re extremely well organized and the prices are fair for actual vintage items. I like to take Burando Mommy here because she was built for the 50s.

I normally pass on vintage because it always seems like I’m stuck between a 22” waist and a 40” bust, but I found this jewel last week. I’ve never heard of Gunne Sax before, but they’re a fascinating old company, flourishing through the trends of space and time by keeping themselves current. They specialized in formal to semi-formal wear, and the modern day brand, Jessica Mcclintock, does taffeta and satin prom dresses.

So basically I own someone’s 70s prom dress, but it’s the perfect summer dress now!

Wally is absolutely fascinated.

Gunne Sax takes absolutely no prisoners. To wear their vintage dresses you’d better be 5’ 6” with a 32” bust and 26” waist. I am short by an inch, so an inch had to be shaved and hemmed off.

That’s pretty much what I do on the weekends, orz. I could probably benefit from more fashionable bedsheets.

Got my first black label – a birthday gift from my boyfriend – today. Yum. Gotta take a better picture later, the hem is amazing.
