I was wearing a navy, sleeveless Gunne Sax prairie dress that brushed my legs just above the ankles when my friend told me a girl had given me the rudest look.  The dress has a delicate floral pattern all over, with blue velvet ribbons and delicate pearl buttons on the bodice. I love this dress. It’s one of the few Gunne Sax pieces I’ve found that doesn’t require the wearer to be taller than 5-foot-6 and have a bra size below a B cup.
