Gunne Sax Dress

[KimberlyKahn]

I got this dress late 70’s or early 80’s. I’m trying to find out its value. I hate to get rid of it but I’m no longer that size! Thanks for any help you can give. Been sitting in the closet, going to get it dry cleaned. Thanks, Kimberly Kahn

This is a very nice example and it looks 1970s to me and surely has value. Your best bet is to search the web and find similar examples and decide on the price you are comfortable selling it for or offer it up at auction where more than 1 person may be interested and drive the price up.

I agree with Mary Jane - 70s, and there are definitely buyers out there. I haven't seen a Gunne lace bolero before. That may add some value.

And the size 11 may be a pricing advantage, too! The larger sizes often bring a better price than the smaller sizes.
Check eBay SOLD prices of similar Gunne Sax dresses for pricing guidance, there are a lot of examples.

Thank you for your help! I will go back to searching the web. Kimberly

I forgot to ask something. Is it ok to dry clean this Gunne Sax dress? It doesn’t say do not dry clean but I don’t want to hand wash it if I don’t have to.

I forgot to ask, is it okay to dry clean this 47 year old dress? Says hand wash cold water, do not machine wash. No mention of dry cleaning. Thanks again , Kimberly
