oh man. Gunne Sax was the thing back in the 1980s!

I had a faux Gunne Sax dress that I wore to my Elementary school graduation. then in 8th grade. I made a Gunne Sax skirt for our christmas dance. (I can still clearly picture it. Everyone was jealous! I swear!). And for graduation from 8th grade I wore another Gunne Sax dress.

It IS a Gunne Sax pattern! Memories…

I also had a dress much like this. It was by Organically Grown and it was reversible! I wore it to graduation and that night at the party, when my dad was stinko, I kept messing with his mind by going into the john and reversing the dress. He’d look and shake his head and try to figure out what the hell was going on.

Not unlike my reaction by looking at this dress now. I still have mine. I keep threatening to wear it out somewhere just to humiliate my kids.

I tried that dress on at a thrift store a couple weeks ago! It looked nice on the hanger but was pretty funky when I tried to wear it. Like it was made for a six foot tall twelve year old.

This blog is brilliant. Also brilliant is the refrence to the “designer couturier” who must have really been counting on the eventual popularity of next seasons Oregon Trail look. Glorious.

Oh my god, it’s a Gunne Sax pattern! The poor gal’s Laura Ashley!
What does it say about me that I had one of those dresses in the 80s? Not this pattern, but oh so prairie vixen!
