70s leopard muumuu dress - david brown california

the look

This oversized leopard muumuu by David Brown California is a standout example of late 70s West Coast boutique dressing, where animal motifs, ease, and artful construction took precedence over body-conscious tailoring. The graphic cheetah print feels bold but restrained, rendered in a neutral palette that reads elevated rather than novelty.

Designed to float off the body with architectural paneling and a button-front bodice, this piece captures the California resortwear ethos of the era. It wears beautifully loose or cinched with a belt, making it as relevant now as it was when worn by gallery women, creatives, and collectors who valued comfort with intention.
