Gunne Sax was a small dress manufacturing company in San Francisco, started in 1967 by Elle Bailey and Carol Miller. In 1969 Jessica McClintock (June 19, 1930-February 16, 2021) invested in the company and became the designer. She bought the company that same year. The company became known for their nostalgic “granny dresses” and soon the look expanded into prairie dresses and Victorian and Edwardian inspired designs in the 1970s and into the early 1980s, later adding Southern Belle dresses and twenties-inspired dresses. In 1981 Jessica opened her first retail store and in 1982, Jessica’s son, Scott McClintock joined the company, adding two lines; Scott McClintock Dresses and Scott McClintock Sport. By the end of the 1980s, Gunne Sax became mainly a company that made prom and party dresses that were influenced by the trends of the day. The company is now called Jessica McClintock, Inc.
