Vintage Jessica McClintock Gunne Sax Dress Prairie Gypsy Peasant Size 5 No Label
Item History & Price
There's no label that shows a size, as it's missing, but I'm the original purchaser, so I know it was listed as size 5 when I bought it back in 1978, in Philadelphia, at the Gallery at 8th & Market street, and this would be a vintage size 5 so please check the measurements below, and ask any questions to clarify the sizing as there will be no returns due to the sizing. &nbs...p;
Dress is vintage and being sold ‘AS-IS'. Please read full description before bidding. I will be happy to answer any questions regarding this item.
I like to note there are minor stains due to the age of the dress, mostly yellowing on the sleeves, and the dress needs to cleaned, but I thought it best to allow the new owner to handle this as they see fit.
I included a photo of a bigger stain on the sleeve, it will be the last picture. Please remember this has been sitting in the closet for quite awhile, but I do not see any damage to the dress, i.e. rips or holes. I had planned to have it altered, redo the sleeves and have it shortened for a fun flirty gypsy dress so I could wear it in a more casual setting, but my last baby expanded my rib cage, so sadly it is too snug for me.
I am no expert in measuring, so if you look at the photo where I am wearing the dress, you'll see where the shoulders of the wearer come out into the sleeve, so I am giving an estimate in my measuring as to where the shoulder begins on the sleeves when wearing the dress. This will apply to the shoulder measurements, and the length of the sleeve measurements.
