This gorgeous 1980's Gunne Sax gown is truly one of a kind! A striking sunset inspired strapless gown perfect for a night on the town! This floor length gown features a structured, sweetheart bodice in a bright yellow that transitions into a delicate peplum of coral/red ruffled tulle. Flowing into a full skirt in an ombre gradient of fuchsia to deep, rich violet. We've also dyed a set of fingerless lace gloves to match that will be included to complete that 80's look!
What we love about this beauty:
- The lace bodice is adorned with small shimmering glittery embellishments that add that extra bit of sparkle!
- The tulle peplum finished in ribbon edges.
- The flared skirt silhouette in double layers of semi-transparent tulle cascading over the vibrant satin.
- The lining with built in crinoline for that princess perfect poof!
- It's custom dyed and one of a kind and had an interesting journey leading to this upcycle! Check out parts of the upcycle process on our IG page!
