Lacy Gunne Sax Prairie Skirt
This skirt is made of soft cotton and features Gunne's trademark lace and satin piping at the waist and the hem of the skirt. Zips up in back with two buttons at the top. Two pockets. Unlined.
Sadly, I just noticed about a 3" tear in the lace at the hem of the skirt. You can see it in the first picture here, at the top of my boot. It is thin enough to be virtually unnoticeable when wearing it, and could be sewn together, but I have (of course!) adjusted the price accordingly. Other than that, in great vintage condition.
Label: Jessica's Gunnies, San Francisco, Size 11 (this line was made for adolescents and will not fit a woman who usually wears Gunne Sax in a size 11).

Gunny Sax Dress
My grandmother made this dress for me when I was little, and this Thanksgiving, Selma wore it. The vest is quilted and there are tons of finishing details with lace and ribbon. Selma loved how twirly the skirt was--I remember liking that myself.
