This beauty is extremely special, as most of you will know, Gunne Sax beauties are highly collectible and rare ones like this even more so.
GUNNE SIZE 7
This girl measures to approx UK size 6/8 - very possibly could work on a small waisted UK 10 as her cup area is elasticated and has room.
Bust - 32" Flat, but her cup area is elasticated. There is maybe another 2"-4" of room in the cups.
Waist - 26" - corset could possibly be loosened to allow for a little more room.
Length - 60"
For reference our mannequin, Norma, measures to a UK 6.
The Sea Siren has been freshly laundered and is ready to wear. She can safely be washed at home on a 30 degree setting. She is in good vintage condition, all Gunne dresses have signs of wear, it seems to be something about the way they were made. This beauty has minimal signs of wear but is mostly in very good vintage condition. No major flaws to note.
This beauty has minimal signs of vintage wear, but please bear in mind that our pieces are true vintage, they’ve been danced in and they have been lived in, so all of our garments will carry your usual signs of vintage wear. Anything that we think is outside of what would class as usual vintage wear, we will state.
