This Leon Brook Models dress is cut from an ivory easy care fabric, fitted through the waist with a deep V neckline at both the front and back, each edge finished with a double row of topstitching in a soft beige ribbon. The skirt falls in a simple A-line to below the knee, with a pale over layer. A separate sheer cape sits over the shoulders, finished at the hem with three fine pin tucks in the same beige tone ribbon, echoing the trim on the dress below.

The fitted waist gives shape through the middle, and the racer style neckline keeps the shoulder line simple front and back. The cape adds an extra layer over the shoulders, and can be worn on or taken off depending on the occasion. The A-line skirt allows plenty of room to walk and sit, and the dress works well with simple sandals, espadrilles or heels.
