Jessica McClintock-The VFG Fashion Parade for the week of June 14th

[carla rey]

Jessica McClintock
In 1969, Jessica McClintock became the designer of a fairly new dress company called Gunne Sax and went on to dress generations of women and girls for their proms, weddings and other special occasions. From the Victorian-inspired Prairie dresses of the 70s to glamourous, big gowns of the 80s to the sleek elegance of the 90s, our VFG members are showing you her best designs this week!

Tish, I didn't realize Jessica McClintock had a silver mesh bag!

These are all prior-sold. I've always got my eye open for Gunne Sax, but I haven't any right now.

The next two are early, with the black label.
