From Vintage Fashion Guild:
Peggy Hunt was a California-based designer and manufacturer of dresses starting in the 1930s until the late 1960s. Hunt began by designing children's clothes and selling them to a department store called Haggerty's. The first label was called Fairy Frocks, a line for toddlers that was then later changed to Jean Carol. Jean was short for Jeanette, her daughter, and Carol for herself — Carolyn Margaret Hunt (Peggy was her nickname). Under the Jean Carol label Hunt made dresses for many Hollywood stars, including Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, and Mary Pickford.
