The Lilly Story

Hopefully everyone knows that I love Lilly Pulitzer by now. I've probably spent more than a few hours at their website. It's so cool! I read the story, and I thought that it was so inspiring! So this is how Lilly Pulitzer came to be:


Lilly Pulitzer's husband, Peter, owned a citrus grove, so Lilly opened a juice stand. She needed a bright dress to hide the juice stains, so she made a vibrant shift dress.

The demand was instant when a picture of Jackie Kennedy wearing a Lilly dress was on the cover of Life Magazine. Soon, she was selling more dresses than juice. The brand took off.


Now, Lilly Pulitzer has the word "lilly" in every print. The colors are still just as bright and hide juice stains. Lilly has a team of artists who design every print in the print studio. 


Wow I love Lilly Pulitzer! I think I will dub this Lilly Week! Happy Lilly Week, world!
