1970s Gunne Sax Black Floral Prairie Dress

Blending Victorian romanticism with a touch of Puritan restraint, this Gunne Sax dress carries an almost time-traveling quality—distinctly 1970s, yet echoing the grace and sensibility of the late 19th to early 20th century. The crowning detail is the dramatic Edwardian-inspired bertha collar—a wide, cape-like panel that drapes beautifully over the shoulders, edged in delicate lace. Beneath it, a stand-up lace neckband adds a refined finishing touch, recalling the high-necked silhouettes of the early 1900s. A full button-front placket, adorned with dainty buttons, runs the length of the dress, while a satin ribbon defines the waist. The skirt falls into a full, sweeping silhouette, finished with a lace-trimmed hem that feels gently rooted in romantic prairie tradition. Vintage size: 13 Estimated modern size: Small / Medium Garment Measurements (taken flat) measurement guide Length: 42” / Bust: 18”/ waist: 15" Materials Cotton Features Full button front with buttoned cuffs Pockets Condition Great Vintage Condition. The skirt appears to have been carefully shortened — it is neatly done and the lace hem trim remains intact and beautiful. The bottom of the button placket has been sewn closed at the back, with the corresponding button removed as it was no longer need. This is barely noticeable and does not effect the overall look or wearable of the dress. Shipping Complimentary US standard shipping on all domestic orders. Expedited options available at checkout.
