1970s Leonard Poly Jersey Abstract Print Floral Dress

£275.00
This striking 1970s dress in navy, orange, red, green and white boasts a classic Leonard style abstract floral print in poly jersey fabric. The dress is knee length with elbow length sleeves and has a double row of navy oval buttons down the front. The dress comes with its original belt - a simple tie design which echoes the bottom trim of the dress and the cuffs. The designer Daniel Tribouillard defined his aesthetic using printed jersey fabrics, much akin to Pucci with whom his designs are often associated. Like Pucci, the Leonard signature is often incorporated into the surface design, in this instance it can be found in blue/grey and orange colours of the dress.

As you would expect from a Leonard design, the French construction is impeccable and the fabric label advises it can be hand washed - hurrah! The dress is in excellent vintage condition; a couple of the plastic buttons may have changed colour over the years but other than this it is gently used and there are no issues. Size wise the dress is a loose fit and can be cinched in at the waist with the matching tie belt. The maximum waist of the belt is 28 inches but this is an optional accessory as the dress has no belt loop. We esimate the dress will best fit those in the range of UK 8-12 to US 4-8.

F.A.Q.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?

We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance. 

We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment. 

Do I need to bring anything with me?

Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.


We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.


You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.
