Alice Vansittart Comyns Carr (née Strettell) was a British costume designer for the theatre, active during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in 1850, her creative output was deeply intertwined with the Aesthetic dress movement, which sought to reform fashion by prioritizing artistic beauty and natural silhouettes over contemporary Victorian constraints.
Throughout her career, Carr applied these principles to her theatrical designs, contributing to the visual identity of the stage during this era. Her work remains a notable example of the intersection between fashion reform and performing arts in Great Britain. She died in 1927.
