In modern usage, a chemise is generally a woman's garment that vaguely resembles the older shirts but is typically more delicate, and usually more revealing. Most commonly the term refers to a loose-fitting, sleeveless undergarment or type of lingerie which is unfitted at the waist. It can also refer to a short, sleeveless dress that hangs straight from the shoulders and fits loosely at the waist. A chemise typically does not have any buttons or other fasteners and is put on by either dropping it over the head or stepping into it and lifting it up.

Even a mention in the 1980 Official Preppy Handbook by Lisa Birnbach could not save the company. Changing fashion styles forced Lilly Pulitzer, Inc. into bankruptcy in 1984. The business closed, Lilly retired, and unfortunately, the company records and archive were thrown out. In 1993 the label was revived under new owners, and it quickly regained the success of the label's early years. Lilly became a sometime consultant to the company. Today the emphasis is still on the original bright colors and whimsical prints introduced by Ms. Pulitzer in 1959.
Spot on. Blouses start from £26 and tapered trousers are £29.50, while the circular dresses are a bargain at £22 - shoppers are more likely to stretch to multiple purchases here. Outerwear and knitwear are particularly good value, with orange and mustard wool-mix coats at £45 and a lovely faux-fur collar duffle coat at £69. Lightweight jumpers start at £25.
We couldn't agree more! We opened the first Lilly Pulitzer® Signature Store in the nation on Nantucket and have expanded to bring you Lilly in Boston, Nantucket, Edgartown, Chatham, Mashpee, Osterville and Falmouth. Offering our customers options for all their resort-wear needs we have opened two additional stores: RESORT, a Tori Richard Concept Shop located in Mashpee Commons and Chatham and SHIFT, a women's boutique located on Nantucket.
