Lilly Fong – Pink Daisy Mini Dress

This is a hot pink, long-sleeve, princess-style mini dress with bold white collar and white daisy trim with black cords on the chest and cuffs. It was purchased from Harriette’s – a well-known ladies’ dress boutique based in Las Vegas. The style is quintessentially 1960s, reminiscent of designs by London’s Mary Quant who ‘owned’ the daisy motif and the shorter hemlines throughout the Swinging Sixties era.

While the dress has a fitted silhouette, it would have been a comfortable choice for Lilly for her busy days of business and fundraising meetings.
