Gavyn Henley T-Shirt Dress: Normally $98, sale price will likely be $50 / Girls’ Mini Loro Dress: Normally $68, sale price $40
Oh my gosh, guys. I’m really proud of this. 😆 Today I’m sharing SEVEN OUTFITS (11 if you count the girls’ looks)–complete with reviews and sizing info–that you’ll find during the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. (Which starts tomorrow!)
Please note the wine. Mitch and I shot these photos on Saturday night. We had a LOT of fun. 😜
Many thanks to the Lilly team for making this try-on possible!
Before we get to that, though, here’s that second chance to win $500 to shop and a new chance to win a free Lilly dress:

Margot Dress, Size Small, Giveaway:
I have an extra Margot Dress in a size small! (True to size but flowy, so would likely work for girls who wear XS, small or medium.) I have an extra, and I’d love to send it to one of you. To enter to win it, simply:
- In the same comment as your $500 giveaway entry comment, tell me that you’d like to win the dress!
- That’s it. 😆
Try-on:
Brewster T-Shirt Dress
Normally $108, sale price $50
The Brewster T-Shirt Dress is my #1 pick from the sale. If it’s still available when you log on tomorrow, I highly recommend snatching it up. (Word to the wise: It’ll go very quickly. So if you have your heart set on it and it’s still available in your size tomorrow, I would check out immediately!)
It’s just SO good. I love it because it’s super lightweight yet also soft… and you can make it look like a $250 Lilly dress by wearing a pair of heeled sandals or you can make it look super casual by simply pairing it with sandals or white sneakers.
My mom swears by it, too!
I would say that it runs true to size. I’m wearing a small here, which is what I usually order in Lilly Pulitzer. (I’m not a fan of super form-fitting clothing!)
It comes in navy blue, too. (Though the navy will not be on sale.) Other favorite t-shirt dresses include the Marlowe and the Harper. You’ll likely see some of those on sale tomorrow, too!
Brewster T-Shirt Dress: Normally $108, sale price $50
Elsa Top / Girls’ Mini Harper Shift Dress
Normally $158, sale price $64 / Normally $68, sale price $30
Jack Rogers Sandals / Spanx Jeans
The Elsa top is one of the most versatile tops you’ll ever own. I wear mine year-round, and I’m kind of embarrassed to admit how many I own. (Though this one is going to my mother so she can match with Emma. 🥰) It’s a gorgeous silk top, but I do wash it using this stuff from The Laundress. Makes life a lot easier!
It’s flowy and drapes in all the right ways, and it can be worn tucked into jeans, pants and skirts or left out while paired with leggings or leggings. It’s great for travel and I always get so many compliments on mine when I wear them!
Sizing: Again, it’s flowy, but it’s meant to look like that. I always order a size small, and that’s what I’m wearing in the above photos!
As for the Mini Harper Shift, this is my favorite girls’ dress. It’s a light Terry sweatshirt-like material, and Emma calls it her “cozy dress.” I would highly recommend going up a size or two, not because it runs small but because then you’ll get a few years’ wear out of it that way. Emma is four years old and she’s wearing a 4/5; If I were ordering during the sale, I would definitely order a size 6! Emma has a lot of size 6 Lilly dresses and she’s not swimming in them.
The Harper Shift Dress is available in women’s sizes, too. I’m sure you’ll see some in tomorrow’s sale.
Elsa Top: Normally $158, sale price $64
Girls’ Mini Harper Shift Dress: Normally $68, sale price $30
High-Rise Weekender Leggings / Athea Tassel Sweater
Normally $118, sale price $90 / Normally $138, sale price $54
If you’re interested in making a 2020-friendly purchase, the High-Rise Weekender Leggings are for you. Just make sure you buy the high-rise version; they’re far superior to the mid-rise! (Way comfier and they flatter the tummy area.)
They’re great. They’re obviously designed for working out, but I often pair them with sweaters and blouses and they look like fancy pants.
Sizing: True to size. I’m wearing a size small here, which is what I normally order in most leggings.
The Athea Tassel Sweater is lovely, too. Looks fantastic with jeggings. (This Madewell jegging cut is my favorite. The look of jeans but the feel of leggings.)
Sizing: A little on the big side. Definitely read the reviews if you plan on buying Lilly sweaters during the sale; a good number of them are meant to look oversized but also run large. I sized down to an XS here and it’s still plenty flowy.
High-Rise Weekender Leggings: Normally $118, sale price $90
Athea Tassel Sweater: Normally $138, sale price $54
Gavyn Henley T-Shirt Dress / Girls’ Mini Loro Dress
Normally $98, sale price will likely be $50 / Normally $68, sale price $40
Another fantastic t-shirt dress! Lilly didn’t tell me that the Gavyn Henley T-Shirt Dress would be included in the sale, but the team sent it along and it’s since disappeared from the site… so it’s definitely a sale dress! Such a great buy; very similar to the Brewster.
If you look closely, you’ll see that the dress features an anchor print, which is absolutely adorable. This is definitely going to be one of my go-to beach dresses for years to come! I love the Henley buttons down the front, too. Definitely more casual than the Brewster because of ’em, but the perfect casual dress.
Sizing: Wearing my normal size small here and it’s perfect.
As for Emma’s Mini Loro Dress, it matches! So cute. Tiered cuts look amazing on everyone, children included… and I love how easily Emma can move in it. Sometimes I’ll have her wear tumble shorts with dresses like these. Works great if she’s climbing on playgrounds or whatever!
Gavyn Henley T-Shirt Dress: Normally $98, sale price will likely be $50
Girls’ Mini Loro Dress: Normally $68, sale price $40
Reversible Florin Top
Normally $88, sale price $44
Jack Rogers Sandals / Spanx Jeans
Perhaps the best deal of the sale! The Florin top is reversible, and made of Lileze, which is this magical wrinkle-resistant material that you need in your life. No wrinkles is great for travel, but so is the top’s versatility! Two tops in one = less to pack. I love it.
The coolest part is that the tag flips over and into the back for both the patterned and the solid sides. Kind of crazy how well it works… you really can’t tell that it’s a reversible shirt at all!
I’m wearing a size small here. Probably could have gone down to an XS but honestly I usually regret doing that unless I’m swimming in a top. This is meant to be flowy, so I’d probably recommend just going with your usual size!

Margot Swing Dress / Girls’ Classic Little Lilly Shift Dress / Baby Shift Dress
Normally $108, sale price $50 / Normally $58, sale price $40 / Normally $38, sale price will likely be ~$28
Holy cuteness. I love that I’m matching with the girls here! The Margot dress runs TTS and is flowy and flattering. I’m wearing a size small here. There’s a cute little tassel tie in the back!
As for the girls, they’re wearing the classic Lilly shift dress–a must in any preppy little girl’s closet! ;) Emma is wearing the size 6 and Lucy is wearing the size 18-24 months. (Emma is four years old and Lucy is 15 months.) They’re maybe a little big, but I love that Emma will likely get 2 or 3 years’ wear out of hers, and that Lucy will be able to wear hers next summer as well.
Isn’t the lace detailing around the neck adorable?! Emma adores her pockets, too. Great for seashell collecting.

Round Hem Skipper Popover
Normally $98, sale price $64
Jack Rogers Sandals / Spanx Jeans
The Skipper Popover! Another Lilly classic. There are tons of Skipper Popovers because they’re one of Lilly’s most versatile products. I wear mine as an everyday sweatshirt during the fall and winter but also throw it into my beach bag in case I get chilly as the sun starts to go down. The inside is a soft Terry, so I’ve used it to dry off after swimming, too. Oh, and I wear it while exercising (meaning speed walking the stroller) because it looks like athleisure. Haha–See?! Very versatile!
It runs slightly big, but I still go with my usual small. If you want a more fitted look, go down one size.
