Leonard Paris Pink Mikado Floral Print Silk Metallic Trim Maxi Dress

Known for their unique, feminine prints and exotic designs, Leonard Paris is a staple when it comes to comfortable yet elegant designs. In a sense, every Leonard dress is a canvas on which beautiful artwork can be displayed and worn. This graceful maxi dress is a fine example of Leonard’s work.

Done in a beautiful Mikado silk, the dress features a large floral print in shades of red, grey, neon purple, yellow, light green, and brown on a soft pink ground. The sleeveless design begins with a metallic jewel neckline surrounded by ruched fabric. Half-diamond-shaped insets featuring a contrasting print at the shoulders create the illusion of a harness, defining the bust while giving this dress an edgy feel. The back of the bodice may be even more splendid than the front, revealing a halter neckline with a button closure and two wide shoulder straps that perfectly balance the modest front.

The dress falls from the fitted waist to a maxi length just above the ankles, creating a columnar silhouette. Light gathering at the skirt adds some dimension to the smooth panels of fabric, giving this dress a flowy, feminine feel. A tiered print is introduced at the bottom section of the skirt, featuring an array of geometric designs that give the eye something new to appreciate from each angle.

A complementary print at the hem, waistline, and front and back of the bodice are bordered by metallic trim which serves to draw the dress together visually while the fabric glimmers and catches the light. A beautiful addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this vintage dress can easily be styled with a pair of heels and statement accessories and is the perfect choice for an evening soiree or special occasion.

This Leonard Paris maxi dress is unlined and closes with a concealed back zip and button closure at the back of the neck. In excellent condition, it has been professionally eco-dry cleaned and pressed. The print is signed ‘Leonard’ throughout. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
