About the Item

This gown arrives just in time for Spring. It’s not only the consummate garden party (or garden wedding) ensemble, but also a lovely example of why Leonard Paris has been sought out for its colorful textiles since its founding in 1958. The silk maxi comes to life with a dimensional print of watercolor blooms in a palette that pairs soft pastel pink and green with saturated fuchsia, orange and yellow. Engineered for the prettiest (and most figure-flattering) composition, the print’s flowers tumble down the side of the dress and then recede before being finished with a striped band at the hem. The dress silhouette is sweet, youthful and elegant, with wider straps, a square neckline, a fitted bodice, detachable sash belt with hook-and-eye closures in the back, and full skirt. It’s a fabulous find that still looks current today and will remain timelessly romantic for years to come. Size estimate: S Measurements Bust: 32 -34 inches Waist: 26.5 inches Hips: 36 inches Length: 53 inches This vintage Leonard Paris floral party dress from the 1990s is in good condition, with mild signs of wear and age. It is made out of an engineered watercolor print on lightweight silk. The full-length gown has wide straps, a square neckline, fitted bodice, back zipper, removable sash with hook-and-eye closures and full skirt. It is fully lined. 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.

Leonard Paris Floral Silk Lace Inset Maxi Dress, 1990s
By Leonard of Paris
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Synonymous with luxury and innovation, Léonard Paris is known for their silk jersey dresses and signature orchid prints. Referring to himself as “... a couturier with a sense of marketing,” Daniel Tribouillard was originally inspired to create floral prints to contrast the popular geometric designs of Emilio Pucci. The unique success of what began as an astute business decision became a genuine romance, the prints taking precedence over the style of the garments themselves, almost always incorporating flowers, which, as Tribouillard said himself, “Léonardizes” a design. From the 1990’s, this fabulous dress is done in Leonard’s signature silk jersey and sheer floral lace. The beautiful material features a print of large flowers in shades of light pink, magenta, red, grey, and lavender on a black ground. The print is interspersed throughout with large mint green leaves and white and black flowers that complement the black lace inset...

1950s Hattie Carnegie Silk Floral Print Watercolor Nipped Waist Dress
By Hattie Carnegie
Located in Boca Raton, FL
From the early 1950s comes this heavenly silk dress by Hattie Carnegie. Its nipped-waist silhouette is the perfect canvas for the gorgeous watercolor print that unfolds upon it: a blanket of pretty peonies in shades of pink, gray, white, lavender and, of course, Carnegie blue. “My clothes are built to show off the woman who wears them,” the American designer once said. “I like them to be simple—complicated and simple—to move well, to move with the times and a little ahead of them.” Still stunning today, this vintage treasure is a reflection of her philosophy—and a ladylike option for so many occasions, from a springtime luncheon to a summertime wedding or garden party. Measurements Size estimate: XS/S Bust: 32 inches Waist: 24 inches Hips: 34 inches Length: 42 inches This vintage Hattie Carnegie dress...
