Alice Vansittart Strettel Carr

Born Alice Vansittart Strettell on January 1, 1850, she later became widely known as Alice Comyns Carr. She was a British writer and costume designer, and her work is closely linked with the Aesthetic dress movement.

She is especially noted for costume design connected with the stage and with leading cultural figures of her time. Her career reflected the rich overlap of art, fashion, and performance in late nineteenth-century Britain.

She died on October 11, 1927. Although not as widely remembered as some of her contemporaries, she remains an interesting figure for readers drawn to Victorian culture, design history, and women whose creative work crossed traditional boundaries.
