1970s Leonard Paris Silk Jersey Print belted Tunic Mini Dress

Captivating and vivacious, Leonard prints always add an element of fun to fashion. Their outrageous prints have become historic and are not only the source of brand identity but also an avenue to bring joy to their wearers. Capturing the groovy 1970s with an oriental twist, this Leonard dress boasts a swirling geometric print in vibrant colors of navy, maroon, and orange, complemented by bright shades of neon purple and golden yellow.

Done in Leonard’s signature silk jersey, this tunic dress features an oriental inspired print that is framed with a geometric design at the collar, cuffs, hem, and center front placket. The bodice begins with a high collar and long blouson sleeves that extend past the wrist with a ball button closure at each cuff, giving this dress more of a formal feel. A separate, accompanying sash of the same fabric may be cinched at the waist to create a more fitted silhouette, making this dress a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
