One of the most special children's pieces you'll find on the vintage market — a 100% silk girls' dress from Lilly Pulitzer, in a rich raspberry and fuchsia plaid shot through with violet, black, and lime green. The silk has that characteristic luminous quality that only natural silk taffeta achieves, shimmering differently in every light. The color combination is bold and joyful: deep berry plaid accented by a wide lime green sash that ties into a generous bow at center back, with matching lime green piping on the Peter Pan collar and sleeve cuffs.
