Lady LeClare
Call for PriceThe Lady LeClare is Victorian refinement with a playful Western side. Disembarking from a stagecoach in Dodge City, or attending the premier at the theater in New York, Lady LeClare exudes a sultry sophistication. Her saloon-inspired dress retains its form-fitting top, but the skirt has been lengthened for less bawdy adventures, while the velvet jacket with long, lace-cuffed sleeves provides an element of grace. With all that packaged together, it’s no wonder that Lady LeClare gets attention no matter where she finds herself.
