While Jessica McClintock, Inc., is a large and diverse style house, the term "Gunne Sax" is often associated with its 1970s
fashions, which could stylistically be called "prairie-revival", drawing on many elements popular in late-19th and early-20th
century American fashion such as pinafores, gingham prints, and calico. The company was named after the "gunny sack" or
burlap trim used on some of the earlier dresses.
Gunne Sax also revived a kind of "renaissance" look, with empire waistlines and middle placket, usually with more modern
textiles such as velveteen. Often there was a high collar in the back with a low neckline in the front, making for a more
demure variation on the medieval "wench" look. The puffed sleeves were usually tightened below the elbow, a style known
as "leg o'mutton." Many of the dresses have laced bodices resembling corsets.
The characteristic puff sleeves and leg o'mutton sleeves found in many Gunne Sax pieces started the puff sleeve craze that
prevailed throughout the 1970s and '80s and into the early '90s. Imitators of Gunne Sax included Candi and Young
Edwardian. Collectors consider clothing with the original "black label," used only in 1969, the most valuable. A "hearts label"
was used for a short time following, until the 1970s and early '80s larger label with scrollwork was put into use.
Gunne Sax dresses are still manufactured, though the 1970s style associated with the term is no longer used by the
company. Contemporary Gunne Sax dresses tend to follow modern prom dress sensibilities, such as tight, strapless bodices
and full skirts, favoring fabrics like satin, taffeta, and tulle.
