At the height of the hippie movement, Jessica McClintock joined the San Franciscan Gunne Sax Company to design their long, calico, lace-trimmed dresses, very popular with the young. Besides “granny” dresses, McClintock also designed lace-trimmed denim clothes and combined lace with linen. By the 1970s she had added prom dresses and wedding gowns, continuing to use lavish lace trim, which had become her trademark.
P.S this is my dress from high school a Gunne Sax, I kept my collection 1978, 1979…. My daughter is the model. Thanks for reading my blog! xoxo
