Vintage Investigations Episode 1: Gunne Sax Sundress- All the Delicious Details// How It Was Made

I can never get enough details about how vintage fashion was made. I borrowed my friends 1970's Gunne Sax Sundress so we can get up close and personal with all the fabric, ribbon, lace, trim and construction methods used to create this gorgeous dress.

I provide my best guess on how the garment was sewn so you can create your own version.

Think I may have missed something? Let me know in the comments.

*I miscounted skirt tiers. There are three in the front and two in the back.*
