History
Lilly Pulitzer opened a juice stand in Palm Beach Florida where she decided to make colorful dresses to hide the stains. These dresses were sleeveless. Pulitzer's schoolmate First Lady Jackie Kennedy wore one of the dresses while on vacation. After Kennedy was photographed, people everywhere wanted the dresses designed by Pulitzer.
Today colors on the dresses are always chosen first for the design.
Suzie Zuzek dePoo, her daughters Amy and Martha dePoo, surrogate daughter Leigh Martin Hooten and Peter Pell created the designs used exclusively by Lilly Pulitzer from 1960 to 1985.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“There is no history of how bad became better.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
