Gunne Sax By Jessica Rare 1970s Dress Floral Calico w/ Lace Cape Sleeves

Purchased in 1972 at the Gunne Sax factory in San Francisco by my late mother. Worn 2x ever. She purchased to wear for a wedding and I also wore once (see photos). This one is SO collectible because of the extremely rare capelet-style lace sleeves that drape over the arms like wings. It was a statement piece in the 1970s and labor intensive to create.
