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.
