When I called, they said the larger orders were taking longer to ship.

My final order has shipped and will be here on Thursday
Of course it was the first or second order I placed (a popover and 2 sweaters)

Final tally between LP and 6pm.com
6 popovers, 2 sweaters, a scarf, and a dress

The card went screaming out of my wallet and locked itself down!

I have heard nothing about my second order. But if it doesn't come, that's ok. I can live because I love the shorts from my first order!!

I keep finding Lily items on the clearance racks at Target. If I wanted to lounge in a Lily hammock in a Lily swimsuit or jumpsuit, I could do so easily.

Really? Lilly for Target was such a mess here. I found some candles and the pineapple juicer thing(?) a few weeks later, but nothing big.

Ditto. Can't find jack here in VA
My final order from the Lilly sale arrived today. I'm so done

No Lilly for Target in MD, either.

I had to return my Janice shift -- it was so bad for my body shape. Kept my pink Arya tank, my navy popover, my yellow rose Elsa, and the two baby Lilly shifts for my daughter.

Little bit of a swerve but I just picked up the last three 18"x18" pieces of vintage Lilly Pulitzer Kappa Alpha Theta fabric on the auction site we all know and love (tongue in cheek). It was sold out within an hour, wish I'd checked earlier, I would have bought more.

I have plans for that fabric. It's made by Key West, 100% cotton, from back in the day when Lilly fabric was available by the yard. I haunt all sorts of sites searching for vintage Lilly. I've been known to cut up old shirts and dresses for use in quilts. That fabric - those colors and prints - nothing quite like it.

So if you ever tire of a Lilly dress or shirt and want to send it my way I would gladly take it off your hands!

Has anyone else noticed that the sizing is very inconsistent? I always have to buy much smaller sizes at Lilly than I normally wear, and before the sale, I had actually tried on the Janice shift in store to figure out the size I needed, and the one that arrived fits but is tighter in the chest than the one I tried on. Glad I waited for the sale and didn't pay full price, because I'm a little disappointed by the quality.

I love the vintage Lilly patterns. In the last two years, I have purchased two vintage shifts for less than $30 each. Both were in great shape! I love them. You won't be getting those for scrap anytime soon!

Sizing is WILDLY inconsistent. I'm anywhere from a 0 to a 4 depending on the dress style and season, which frustrates me to no end because I'm never sure what size to get when I'm shopping online. I have a pair of Callahan shorts and a pair of Buttercup scalloped shorts both from this summer that are 2s and fit well, then I ordered a different pair of Callahans from this summer and the 2s didn't fit at all!

^Same. I have a Franco dress in Peel & Eat that's a 4, and the Janice I just ordered is a 0. A dress in Lulu in S and a Palmetto dress I just ordered in XXS. And I have a different Janice that I guess is a knit version, so it's on the letter sizing instead of the number sizing and that's an XS. It's very frustrating.

Get ready! The winter sale starts today at 8 am. One day only, online only. The "get a spot in line" system will be used again.

Logged on at 8, and was 15,XXX in line. It look about 55 minutes to get in. My daughter found 2 dresses, a sweater, and a "Croakies" style sunglasses strap (her first pattern choice disappeared from her cart, but she found another pattern).

Spent some time shopping...then emptied my cart.

Honestly, there was nothing I NEEDED. Lots of cute stuff but I'm just proud of myself for not being so impulsive with purchases. (Being better with finances is my new years resolution). I'm actually a bit shocked it was so easy to just empty the cart...

Hope you all had great finds!
