About the Item
Fifth Avenue is the mecca for high fashion in the US. Named for this iconic location, Saks Fifth Avenue has been a major retail contended for over a century and has become widely known for their offerings of coveted designer fashions. This 1980s gown by Sam Carlin is done in a black floral mesh lace that gives off a traditional aura. Multicolored crystals in rose, citrine, and ruby, elevate the dress by adding small bursts of shimmering interest. The dress begins with a straight neckline secured by two decorative straps. The bodice angles into a slightly high waist moving into a modest hourglass silhouette. On the right side, a detachable lace flower pin heavily embellished with crystals is affixed. Just below, a flourish of pleated sheer fabric has been inserted into the waist that flows down to hem level adding a sense of drama and some fluidity to the gown. This dress finishes with the natural scallop of the lace as a testament to its detailed construction. Full of vintage charm, this lace gown is an understated yet refined evening option.

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...
