Back again with one of my most popular posts, my Lilly Pulitzer sizing guide! If you're like me, you love Lilly Pulitzer, but not the price tag. I typically get most of my Lilly items during their bi-annual After Party Sale, but the main con with the sale is that all sales are final so you have to be careful when purchasing. Since most of my shopping is done online for Lilly heavily rely on reviews of the fit of the clothing.
So whether you're preparing to shop the After Party Sale or just want to snag a new piece to add to your collection and want to know what size to pick up, hopefully, you'll find this post helpful. Be sure to check out my other two sizing guides to see more reviews on past Lilly pieces:
Before we jump into the sizing guide, here are my measurements and sizing. I will say, I have gained a few pounds since my first sizing guide back in college, and am closer to a medium than a small now. I would say I am a true medium in most stores and a size 4 in pants.
MEASUREMENTS:
HEIGHT: 5'4"
BUST:
WAIST:
HIPS:
USUAL LILLY PULITZER SIZING:
TOPS: S / M
BOTTOMS: 4
DRESSES: 4 / S / M
TAWNEY SKORT IN HANGIN AROUND
Size: 4
Fit: True to size
Review: We all know I love a good Lilly skort. This skort fits pretty true to size and if you all read my Sizing Guide post from last year then you may know that I've included the Marigold skort in it and stated that it ran a half a size too big for me. I had gotten the Marigold skort in a 2 and it fits the same as this skort in a size 4. I even put the two skorts together for size comparison and they are the same width.
PRESTON TIE SLEEVE DRESS IN SNAP TO IT
Size: Small
Fit: True to size
Review: This has been one of my new favorites this past year! This dress is so easy and comfy to throw on for work or running errands. Lilly cotton dresses are my favorites. I will say this dress is a little shorter on me compared to my other Lilly dresses, but I prefer the length of this dress better.
Size: 4
Fit: True to size
Review: This is my first Lilly skirt and it did not disappoint! It's such a classic piece and I wish they would come out with more prints with it. It has very little stretch and is a good length for me to wear to work.
ELLEE MIDI DRESS IN ZANZIBAR ZOO
Size: 4
Fit: True to Size
Review: This dress makes me so happy when I put it on! It's so comfortable and makes such a fun statement piece. I will say, the straps are not adjustable and I wish they were since they are a little too long for me, but I plan to sew them down to my desired length. This dress is padded so you can go bra-less and has some nice deep pockets (for all the snacks) as well as a zipper in the back.
SOPHIE DRESS IN PARTY IN PARADISE
Size: Medium
Fit: Half a size large
Review: I had accidentally picked up the wrong size in this dress in-store, but it ended up fitting fine one me! I typically get a small in Lilly's cotton dresses, but the medium fits fine and I would even say if I had gotten a small it'd be too tight. The only thing with this dress is that it is that the length is a little longer than I'd like for my body and feel like the small would have a better length.
Size: 4
Fit: Runs small
Review: Lilly had come out with a patchwork styled print of some of their popular past prints and I knew I wanted to get my hands on a piece with this pattern. This is such a cute romper, but I should have definitely sized up on this. I can zip up the romper and wear it out, but it is pretty snug. The smock back and adjustable straps are nice and I love the fact that this looks like a dress but has the comfort of shorts underneath.
ADRENA STRETCH SHIFT IN MANDEVILLA PINK
Size: 6
Fit: Runs small
Review: Maybe it's my broad shoulders, but this dress ran very small for me. I typically get a size 4 in Lilly dresses, and even in a 6, this was very tight on my shoulder. This material doesn't offer much stretch either. Such a pretty style just didn't work for my body type.
SAHAR EMBROIDERED DRESS ROMPER IN TRUE NAVY
Size: 4
Fit: True to size
Review: Such a cute romper and fits similar to my Donna rompers. I didn't end up purchasing this piece as I feel like the square neckline doesn't flatter me, but it's such a pretty piece!
Size: 4
Fit: True to size
Review: I really wanted to like this romper, but on me, it didn't really do much. I would say the fit is similar to Donna Rompers. This does not have adjustable straps but does have a zipper back. A cute piece just didn't' work for me.
