The dress that first caught my eye. Isn't the tromp l'oeil lace bow fabulous? I wish I knew the technique to make something like that! |
Peggy Hunt was born in 1892. She began as a home sewer who enjoyed making clothes for her baby daughter, but her dresses were soon noticed by the owner of the department store where she worked. Mr Haggerty, of Haggerty's Department Store, asked her to sell some of her designs in his store. The rest, as they say, was history. (Biography via here.)
Peggy Hunt's trademarks were illusion necklines, appliques, and lots of lace. |
I love the pale pink of this dress along with the tulle skirt. I can see this one at a red carpet ceremony! |
I really think Peggy Hunt's use of sheer overlays is genius. This top would also be beautiful as just a blouse. |
This Peggy Hunt dress is one of my favorites. I love how modern it looks-- like something you'd buy from Anthropologie! |
