<p>Antique Dress</p> <p>Before La Perla and Agent Provocateur, Juel Park was the leading name in high-end lingerie.  This nightgown shows why she was the top choice for all of classic hollywood’s leading ladies from the 1930s onwards.  1stdibs.com has a huge collection of Juel Park lingerie available, but unfortunately they don’t give dates as to when it was made, so I can’t post it the way I’d like to.  You can still go check it out <a href="http://fashion.1stdibs.com/avl_search.php?subSearchKey=juel%20park&gakw=juel%20park" target="_blank">here!</a></p>
