1970s Leonard Paris Floral Silk Jersey Dress Jacket

Leonard fashions are widely known for their bold and meticulous prints. Having been compared to the designs of Italian designer, Emilio Pucci, Leonard retains a particular softness in theirs. After 1970, the Leonard brand introduced luxury jersey fabrics that became the signature of the brand to this day.

Made from this high-quality silk jersey, this kimono style Leonard dress features a detailed floral motif in stimulating, analogous colors of crimson, red-orange, fuchsia, violet, and magenta that are toned by the thing leaves in sage green and a dusty lilac. The colors are enhanced by the rich black ground of the fabric. The fabric drapes lightly over the body playing interestingly against the wearer, and the volume designed into the bishop style sleeves. Falling just below the knee, this dress works wonderfully as a stand-alone piece or as an addition to an ensemble.
