Blue Leopard Print Dress on Mannequin Limoges Box

A dress form shows off a blue leopard print gown on this bold porcelain piece, a fashion house twist on a wild classic. The gown and its dress form were painted by hand on porcelain in Limoges, France.

Wild Print, Cool Color

Leopard print has been a fashion staple since the mid-twentieth century, worn by screen stars and runway models alike. Rendering it in blue rather than the usual gold and black gives the dress a fresh, unexpected look, the kind of design that turns heads at a gala.

Couture on a Mannequin

The dress form recalls the fitting rooms of Paris couture houses, where gowns were draped, pinned and perfected before the show. Here the mannequin wears its blue leopard print with confidence, ready for the spotlight.

For the Fashion Crowd

• Hand-painted porcelain from Limoges, France
• Fits a fashion, animal print or dressmaking collection
• A fun present for a seamstress, designer or fashion student

Display it on a vanity, a sewing room shelf or beside a stack of fashion magazines. It makes a lively birthday present for a friend with daring style, and it pairs well with the lingerie mannequin pieces for a fashion collector who likes a full row of dress forms.
