If I recall, I ended up with something more little house on the Prairie and less hippie/floaty, which really suited me better anyway </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182711 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 22:25:18 +0000 Carla 2182711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Jules - start a thread! &nbsp;I’ll dig out my grad photo and post if you do. &nbsp;My dress wasn’t a Gunne Sax but my sister wore a Jessica McClintock dress at her wedding. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182701 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 21:51:22 +0000 Jules 2182701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would love to see more photos do everyone’s proms etc! My favourite outfit shots </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182625 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 18:05:12 +0000 Greyscale 2182625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The old Jessica McClintock outlet used to be near my house here in SF, a run down industrial part of town before everything got redeveloped recently. It was a warehouse with super cheap factory seconds. My Irish dance group bought a whole set of matching blue dresses there, had them tailored to knee length, and added Irish knotwork trim. (Looking at this very old photo, the trim didn’t turn out quite right! But the overall effect worked well.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182621 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 17:48:44 +0000 JAileen 2182621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My SIL wore a Gunne Sax gown for their wedding. &nbsp;It was charmingly rustic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182619 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 17:47:02 +0000 Isabel 2182619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no !

I'll have to see if I can dig up a picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182517 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 13:33:45 +0000 Murph11 2182517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also wore a GS for my 8th grade graduation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182473 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 06:17:39 +0000 Kate 2182473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure did. Wore one to my high school prom. A bright orange Gunne Sax with a pretty deep V neck. I loved that dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182464 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 04:59:46 +0000 nuancedream 2182464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My white high school graduation (1979) dress was a Gunne Sax and I absolutely adored that dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182460 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 03:57:11 +0000 Barbara Diane 2182460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My cousin's wedding dress came from the outlet. She looked great and she saved a lot of money compared to a more traditional gown. Back when outlets were real outlets. (Am I dating myself ?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182457 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 03:45:11 +0000 Jaime 2182457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nope not that I remember. Perhaps I blocked it out, although I know they are all the rage right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182441 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 01:47:33 +0000 rachylou 2182441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no. I wore a Gunne Sax for 8th grade graduation with ridiculously high Cherokee sandals. They were all the rage! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182428 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:51:15 +0000 cat2 2182428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And, I completely spaced; I wore Jessica McClintock (her 90s brand) for my wedding. We did a small event and I wasn’t into being super bridal, so I wore one of her evening gowns. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182427 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:45:01 +0000 cat2 2182427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>She made it to 90, which is great! I wore Gunne Sax to semi-formal events in high school and switched to Laura Ashley during college. Lots of the floral dresses these days look like they came from the same hands. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182417 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:25:44 +0000 Anonymous 2182417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I dearly wanted a gunny sac dress but could never justify the price. It probably would have looked like a sack on me then anyway. What terrible news. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182414 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:23:51 +0000 Jenn 2182414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could never afford Gunne Sax, but I remember studying the ads and trying to recreate the look with my own clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182410 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:17:01 +0000 Janet 2182410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, how sad! </p> <p>Gunne Sax were never my style, even in high school when they were popular (I was one of two girls who dressed in red gowns for our senior prom while all the others were in black or pastels). But what a legacy and life story of Jessica McClintock! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182409 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:11:51 +0000 Anonymous 2182409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no!<br /> I did have a Gunne Sax dress, though it was very far from my usual style back then. I think I wore it once for a high school play I did. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rip-jessica-mcclintock#post-2182405 Fri, 26 Mar 2021 00:06:39 +0000 Carla 2182405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone wear a Gunne Sax dress to their high school formal, or wedding?</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.vogue.com/article/obituary-jessica-mcclintock-gunne-sax-designer#intcid=recommendations_vogue-verso-hp-trending_0cd1fd25-e441-4d43-8977-e057ee10403b_popular4-1">https://www.vogue.com/article/.....endations_</a> </p>
