About the designer: Jessica McClintock was a fashion designer best known for her romantic, lacy bridal and prom dresses, especially for her brand, Gunne Sax—which rose in popularity in the 1970s thanks to its prairie dress and Victorian/Edwardian inspired designs. 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.
