A side note on Lillys: Lilly Pulitzer is worn a lot in the South and on the East coast, but is generally not worn much in most other parts of the country. (I've seen very few women wearing Lilly dresses in the Midwest, for example.) Since some of her brighter designs tend to be overwhelming to those who aren't used to them, it might be hard to tell whether or not a Lilly dress would be right for the school your daughter's at. While Lilly dresses might be on every PNM at the University of Florida, you wouldn't see them at the University of Wisconsin, and my guess is that they'd be few and far between at many other Midwestern schools (especially those that rush in September as opposed to August). I'm not sure whether OSU rush would be closer to the Midwestern or Southern schools' rush.
All I'm trying to say is that they're by no means a rush necessity.
