Lilly Pulitzer Anyone?

I just looked at the sale stuff, and OMG the dresses are SHORT! I think I was expecting more conservative stuff, given how often we talk about Lilly for recruitment.

I think you have to remember that the models are most likely 5'8+. I'm wearing a Lilly dress at my conservative office right now and it hits my knees.

The Lilly dresses look to be 2-3" shorter than BR or J.Crew on similar styles, and at my height, those inches make a huge difference. I can't do a direct comparison, though, because the Lilly stuff I'm looking at gives a "waist to hem" measurement, and the places I usually shop give a "shoulder to hem" measurement. In any case, if something hits the model mid-thigh, I'm assuming it will be too short on me.

I really like the Somerset dress, but I think it's just not meant to be.
