- How I made a Halloween Dress inspired by Vintage Gunne Sax Style dresses from the 1970s with sewing steps and reveal at the end! You could use this method to make non-seasonal Gunne Sax dresses, which I plan to do! I used modified parts from different commercial patterns you can easily acquire at Joann's or another fabric store to make my own bodice pattern in this cute style. This is now a key part of my witchy wardrobe! Cottagecore meets Spooky Season!

Just too heckin' cute!
This is one of the most accurate out of all the Gunnesaxoween/Gunnesaxmas that I have seen on UA-cam! So many of the others are beautiful, but missing that little.... something... that makes them look like a true Gunne sax (instead of just a prairie dress). Thank you for this video, I will definitely be referring back as I embark on my own Gunne sax making adventure.
Cute idea...came out great. It took me so long to get over my fabric shopping addiction. There used to be a Gunne Sax outlet here in San Diego. I eventually got rid of the several dresses and nightgown I had, though I might still have a pattern somewhere. You never know what will come back in style. I found a 3-yard bolt end of iridescent black lace with black cats on it, but it was too cool to cut up; I drape it over the buffet in my dining room as a backdrop for my garland of embroidered Dia De Los Muertos cat heads. Great minds...
Super spooky cute!
I love you Gunne sax spooky dress! Your last years one is great too. Thank you
Thank you!
Such a cute dress! And I love your humour/undertone. Also tossed cat heads…
You are truly hilarious. Loved this adventure!
It's cute, and looks great on you.
Thank you so much!!
Well! That came out super cute!! Two quick notes (from someone who graduated from high school in 1969)- you *are* pronouncing it correctly, the company is named for gunnysacks-(burlap bags). The first Gunne Sax dresses came out in 1967-68, they were part of the “peasant dress” trend. (I had a couple of knock-offs, because they were expensive even then!)❤️🎃 Happy Halloween!
Thank you!!!
Very cool 😀
Emma looks excellent on that fabric!
And she knows it! LOL
Yay first like and comment. Love your videos.
Thank you so much for watching!
I was a bridesmaid for my best friend in 1976 and we chose a Gunne Sax blue and white gown with yellow accents for my dress. As I had no similar events where I could wear it, the dress hung in my closet. Eventually, my mom had the great idea of taking off the sleeves and shortening it to make a light housecoat for herself. I wonder what that dress would go for now. It was an original Jessica McClintock.
Such a cute Fanken Gunne Sax dress!
Thank you!!
That is so cool 😎
I actually wore a Gunne Sax dress for my confirmation in the early 80s and had completely forgotten about that company until I saw your video 😊
I have that orange dot fabric in a spooky quilt
Think "gunne" (2 syllables), the Anglo-SAXon gown. Which is a pun on gunnysacks.
I happen to own two and a Young Edwardian, an earlier line by Jessica.😎
Such a cute dress! Loved watching the making process. Great video! Now I want to make a Gunne Sax dress too!
Thank you for watching!
I love that you Gunny matches your cat :D
Thank you!! It actually matches two of my cats but Susan was not in the mood for getting picked up, lol.
your dress looks amazing
this is absolutely adorable!!
Thank you!!
It's adorable!
Thank you!!
Love it! I Frankenpatterned a Gunnesaxoween dress too! Not for the faint of heart but now I’m so excited to make one for Christmas. Possibly also Thanksgiving…
Yay!!!!! Gunne Sax for all the seasons!!
I love your dress! I was talking to my sister about GunneSax-o-ween because I remember that she wore a Jessica McClintock GS dress for Homecoming one year. She wished she had kept hers. By the time I got to high school it was the mid-80s and fashion was a little bit regrettable. I love Halloween and all these beautiful GS versions 🎃
It’s crazy how much these vintage dresses are going for. I was too young to own one then (my mom made most of my cute dresses), would not have been caught dead in such a thing in my goth teens and twenties, and now in my 40s, I love them, lol
I think this is my favorite of all the gunnesax dresses made this year 😍
Awww, thank you!!! 🥰
Very cute!
Thanks!!
I love the dress!!! So cute!!! Happy Halloween!!!
Thank you!!!!
Cute witch dress and testing centrifical force. Yay for spooky adorable nerds. Love how your gunnesax dress turned out
Very cute!
Joann had some obviously rushed Halloween fabric names this year. I saw another tossed print called “black cats” but it was actually white line art of cat heads on black fabric.
😆😆😆 oh, I didn’t see that one, lol!!
it turned out so good!!!
Thank you!
Nailed it! Very impressive for a cobbled together reproduction!
I absolutely love the way you used the lace trim for lacing up the bodice! Such a pretty look!
What an absolutely darling dress! How clever to use the lace as a medium for the lace-up bodice. To answer your question, Yes! I did sew a Gunnesaxoween dress and my daughter loves it! :)
The dress you made is soooo cute, Laura!!
I love it!! This is my first video of yours, I have subscribed :-) I also love Gunne Sax dresses but they are so hard to find, even to make your own from a pattern - so this is super helpful. I think I will now make my own “franken-dress”! 🎃
Awesome! And thank you!!
Watching as I too gather something with the halving method... I actually love how gathering this way turns out vs the basting gather stitch method!
The halving method rocks!!
Great job!
I working on an autumn dress.
I didn't make a gunne sax dress
However, I did expand an old dress to fit my current shape (Halloween themed)
Excellent! I love autumn dresses, I need to make more!
@@AJaneiteSews I just saw your butterfly dress, it was lovely!
Oooooooo, your Spooky Gunne Sax dress turned out marvelous!
I just got finished converting my dart block pattern to princess seams in preparation to design my own Gunne Sax version. This video is such great inspiration! Thank you. 🖤🖤🖤
My fabrics are a little much, but I have it in good authority from another video: "If you've lived through the style the first time around, you are too old to wear it again." (Not the exact words in the video, but the exact sentiment!) So I decided that if my flowers aren't dainty and tiny, and my colors are brighter, GOOD. I won't look like "mutton dressed like lamb" (those ARE the exact words). I will look like a kooky old lady with a really cute dress, right?
We are never too old to wear whatever we want!! You go for it! And I personally love when fabrics are “a bit much” 😄
How do you know all the pieces will fit together correctly when you use different patterns? New to sewing so this kind or blows my mind 😄
I “trued” the seams during the mock up phase (sew them together to make sure they fit, trim or extend where necessary!)
It's pronounced gunny. It's a take off of gunny sacks: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunny_sack
