About the Item

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. Size estimate: S/M Measurements: Shoulders: no defined seams Sleeves: 24 inches Bust, Waist, Hips: up to 40 inches Length: 42 inches Due to the stretch of the jersey, this dress can be worn on women from approximately size XS to M depending on the desired fit. For smaller ladies it can be simply styled with a belt! Unlined, this dress has no closures and is in excellent condition. 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. Follow us on Instagram @BASHAGOLD

Vintage Leonard Paris Printed Silk Mini Dress / Tunic & Pants Set 1970s
By Leonard of Paris
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Synonymous with luxury and innovation, Leonard Paris is collected for its unique prints, like the one found on this dazzling three-piece set from the 1970’s. The kaleidoscopic print has an oriental feel, incorporating flowers such as camellias and chrysanthemums which have traditionally been embroidered on kimonos in Japan. The multiple patterns form a rich canvas for this ensemble, and is a grand example of designer Daniel Tribouillard’s artistry and love of flowers. Done in a black silk jersey, the tunic begins with a high mandarin collar with cloth button closures, bringing some structure to the otherwise lounge-like feel of this set. Falling several inches above the knee, this tunic can easily be worn as a mini-dress, the beautifully draped kimono sleeves adding a flair of drama while allowing for greater ease of movement. The matching ankle-length pants have black piping down the sides and are tailored to perfection with a straight waistband, pockets, and front pleats, ensuring a slender fit. An accompanying belt of the same fabric may be worn tied at the waist, completing the elegant wrap style silhouette of this ensemble. The collar is done in print of small jewel-colored flowers and leaves, bordered by stripes of black, light pink, and magenta. This pattern repeats a second time in a concentric circle below the collar, elongating the neck. A pattern of pink whorls and large pink and black chrysanthemums winds its way through the body of the tunic, punctuated by bursts of blooming flowers with turquoise centers and red stamens, surrounded by clusters of magenta leaves. The kimono style sleeves are done largely in a red honeycomb pattern on a black ground with a small flower set in the center of each hexagon, while a contrasting print of black and pink flowers on a woven ivory ground is set down the side of each sleeve in a narrow band, emphasizing the line from the shoulder. The lower half of the tunic brings balance to the intricate medley of color above the waist, with evenly spaced rows of jewel-colored camellias on a black ground offering a stunning contrast with its use of negative space. A complimentary...
