I think the story is that Key West Fashions made the original Lilly fabric. I have seen this line where I live and I just returned from FL where I saw it as well in several beach boutiques. I think anyone would be pleased with it as an alternative to Lilly Pulitzer.
Another idea- Check out eBay for Lilly Pulitzer items. There are tons of listings and you should be able to get a good deal. Just be sure to order your correct size because you probably would not be able to return something .

OKay -- this is a great website to check out !! In fact in brought me down memory lane! You see, I used to live in Key West from 1966-69! I was in junior high and my freshman year of high school there. (Father was stationed there in the Navy) The place where they made this Key West Hand Print Fabric was also a HUGE tourist destination at the time! I went there many times and we always took visitors there -- that plus riding the Conch Tour train was a hoot! Those were some halycon days...now Key West is way too WILD and well....you know...Anyways, I think I may have some Key West hand print fabric I bought there back then (I was and still am into sewing). I never met a fabric I did not like -- always had to buy at least a yard or two -- just in case!The way they made the fabric designs was so interesting and the shop - though small - was a favorite place for me to go...thanks for the link, lil' sis Andrea!!
