Leonard Paris Silk Floral Print Dress, 2000s

Hand-designed, Leonard prints exude an elegance that is only achieved through artisanal creation. While widely known for a variety of prints, Leonard florals are undoubtedly the most exquisite. Made from an understated black silk seersucker, this circa 2014 dress is the perfect ground to present this floral motif. Rich reds, and crimson poppies are contrasted by the demure blue irises.

Faded green leaves are interspersed among clusters of small white and black florals. On this textured silk, the dress emotes the original watercolor work from which this design is created. A rounded bound neckline softly flows into relaxed, long sleeves. At the waist, this dress is slightly fitted. An easy, sophisticated design, this Leonard dress is certainly versatile and can be styled for multiple occasions.
