VINTAGE 1990s LILLY PULITZER THE LILLY AQUA, PINK AND GREEN SUMMER PALM TREES OCEAN DRESS WITH BOWS AND POM POM TRIM
$ 225.00
I love this Lilly Pulitzer cute dress and wish it were my size! Adorned with so many island scenes on it - the ocean, palm trees, family luau, hibiscus flowers,
, hamock witha dog, beach rests and an unbrella, a helecopter with the name "Lilly", people swimming in the water and more.
The fabric is expensive cotton and there is a full lining which is very nice fabric as well. 2 pockets in front with pom pom trim on them. Small slits on either size at the hemline with a good-size bows. I always love the hems as they are lace and this dress has the name "Lilly" entwinded throughout the lace tape.
The label on the dress is identical to one on The Vintage Fashion Guild Label Resource from the late 1990s and my thanks to them.
Lilly Pulitzer clothes were sold in very high-end stores as well as in her own Lily Pulitzer stores nationwide. Jackie Kennedy wore one of the dresses in an article in Life Magazine which helped the business immensely.
I remember seeing Lilly Pulitzer dresses decades ago when they came out and I loved them so much. I just looked at the Lilly Pulitzer dresses being offered on their online store and they are not anywhere as whimsicale with such unique ideas and cute like the vintage dresses were.
Perfect for entertaining, a pool party, vacation or shopping in the summer.

Care Instructions
We examine each item carefully and note any imperfections, but unless an item is said to be new, please don't expect it to be perfect & even some new items have small imperfections. I will always state in the description if there are any imperfections & I never do repairs but leave them to others who are better able to do them than me as that is not my expertise.
Please remember that unless specified all items have been used and will show varying signs of use or wear. We always list the obvious imperfections to the best of our abilities. However, some slight imperfections that will not show or affect wearing or using the item may slip by or not be considered worth mentioning.
Vintage nightgowns & peignoirs may be delicate so I do not wash them in the machine. I wash them in lukewarm water with Woolite or some other mild soap, then rinse & hang dripping wet in the shower.
Since these are vintage items, a bit of extra care needs to be taken with them so they remain beautiful & I definitely would never put a vintage nightgown or a peignoir in the dryer as it would ruin it.
The items are sold as we find them. We do not dry clean, launder, alter or repair vintage clothing and they should be cleaned or washed upon arrival. Please make your selection carefully & check the measurements as there is no return on clothing or other items.
