Before it became a fashion boutique with over a dozen locations nationwide, Lilly Pulitzer started as a juice stand in Palm Beach, Florida. The then-young entrepreneur, Lilly, was inspired by her need for a uniform that would cover citrus stains, which led to the creation of her line’s first-ever Shift Dress, according to the business’s website.
The Shift Dress, a popular item among the boutique’s array of resort wear, is known for its specially tailored shape that hangs straight down from the wearer’s shoulders.
Aside from this piece, patrons can also shop for dresses, swimwear, loungewear and accessories that feature Lilly Pulitzer’s signature prints and patterns. These items are available for women, men and children in-store and online.
One of the boutique’s most prolific moments was when Jackie Kennedy, a former schoolmate of Lilly, appeared on the cover of Life Magazine, adorning a garment from the designer’s clothing line, per information from the website.
