Lilly Pulitzer Jubilee collection dress, c.2008
A Lilly dress is as much a lifestyle statement as a fashion statement. With its joyous and sunny palette, the Lilly dress evokes the upscale suburban life filled with sunshine, happiness, and the most delightful friends in the world. A Lilly dress is also comfortable and easy to wear.
This Lilly, from the 50-year Jubilee collection, was made from heavy cotton piqué in signature lime green, and trimmed with a bold border of white cotton beaded lace. The dress is lined with matching cotton broadcloth and closes in back with a goldtone metal zipper. The shift has set-in side pockets and a slit on one side of the skirt.
Lilly McKim Pulitzer is a socialite who married the grandson of publisher Joseph Pulitzer. She created her firm in 1959 to produce women's clothing in bright, colorful prints. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, her styles were worn by her socialite friends, including Jackie Kennedy as well as members of the Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and Whitney families. In the trade, Lilly is known as the "Queen of Prep."
