Rare 1930s Old Hollywood Jean Carol by Peggy Hunt Crepe Gown
Rare 1930s Old Hollywood Jean Carol by Peggy Hunt Crepe Gown
Under the Jean Carol label, Peggy Hunt made dresses for many Hollywood stars, including Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, and Mary Pickford (source: TheVintageFashionGuild). This dress with its original "Jean Carol" tag could have very well been worn by one of Hollywood's original stars.
Made of lavender rayon crepe, this dress features interesting details. Featuring cloth covered buttons along the back closure, this dress opens to a beautiful gathering of deep purple and fuchsia plaid taffeta designed to lay as an elegant circle skirt. An angular sash at the hip gives the dress a pointed and powerful look while loose dolman style sleeves give the dress a flowing feel. As an original design from the Old Hollywood days of the 1930s, this dress would be wonderful gem to add to your vintage clothing collection.
