A scrumptious swirl print tops this Leonard Paris maxi dress that would be at home in a Seventies collector’s wardrobe—or the wardrobe of any woman who adores tapping into the decade’s glamour now and then. Created from tonal purples, tonal beiges, white and red, the graphic design are rendered on a soft silk jersey.

A complementary print bordered by white and lilac stripes visually pulls together the top with the skirt at the waistline and wide button cuffs.
