Shopping results
We went shopping today and had great luck! Although there is not a Lilly in town, I think the dresses we did find are very comparable.
First, she choose a simple but tailored shift with a green, yellow and purple check pattern. It's 100% silk and the colors are unbelievably beautiful. It's bright and colorful without being too much. We found it at a small, boutique type shop on sale.
Secondly, she choose a sun dress in a very colorful paisley pattern. It's a shirtwaist style, and fits perfectly--very feminine. This dress came from one of the most expensive clothing stores in OKC, but it was on sale.
Both are very conservative, yet they look very young and fun. We paid substantially less for both of them than we would have paid for one Lilly and I don't think she could possibly be more pleased. They don't look "mally" at all and it's so refreshing! I'm so glad you talked us out of the strapless sun dress.
We saw a few of the Key West items that are similar to Lilly, but they were never available in my daughter's size, though she really liked them.
The pictures that you have posted here are fabulous! I just love admiring all these beautiful dresses.
Thank you for all the great advice. Without your encouragement, we probably would have never ventured beyond our comfort zone and discovered such fabulous dresses that were surprisingly enough easily fit into our budget.
We appreciate it!
