A B O U T 

An extraordinary Peggy Jennings couture-level evening gown, this rare sequined lace masterpiece epitomizes the extravagant craftsmanship that made her collections among the most expensive—and most coveted—sold at Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue in the late 20th century.

Cut in a body-skimming, mermaid-inflected silhouette, the gown is fashioned from a deep crimson imported lace intricately hand-embroidered with sequins, micro-beads, and dimensional floral appliqués that shimmer with every movement. The artistry is breathtaking up close: each blossom is built from layers of paillettes and seed beads, creating a jeweled surface that speaks to hours of meticulous handwork.

Luxurious mahogany mink encircles the sleeves and neckline, adding old-Hollywood opulence and underscoring the elevated price point Jennings was known for—many of her gowns originally retailed in the multi-thousand-dollar range, reflecting both the materials and labor-intensive embellishment that defined her brand. The gown closes with a row of covered buttons trailing elegantly down the back, a couture touch that enhances its sculpted, hourglass line. Fully lined in silk and impeccably made, it is a striking example of the lavish eveningwear Jennings created for her elite clientele.
