I have a Jessica McClintock dress from her bridal collection. It could be a
mother-of-the bride dress or bridesmaid. I think it is from the early
1990s. It looks very dainty sheer batiste with lace. It has a drop waist.

Are you thinking of Jessica McClintock? Not sure if that is the correct
spelling. I still have my Gunne Sax dress that I wore in junior high and
my daughter wore it in high school. I honestly think that dress was part
of what inspired me to learn more about real historic clothing.

Aarrgh. There was a female clothing designer in San Francisco in the 70s
who made off-the-rack dresses in that "olde fashioned" look - sort of
Victorian, sort of "peasanty". She later made more sophisticated prom
dresses and wedding dresses inthe 80s and, i think, 90s. But i'm drawing a
blank on her name...
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Anahita
