21-year-old socialite Lilly McKim eloped with Peter Pulitzer in 1950, and the couple moved from New York City to Palm Beach, Florida. Looking for something to do, the new Lilly Pulitzer opened up a juice stand where she could profit off her husband's citrus groves. Working at the stand, however, she soon found that her clothes became covered in juice, so she designed a shift dress from bright, colorful fabric to disguise the stains. Pulitzer's customers became enamored with her dresses, and she began fielding requests for this new style, which had earned the nickname "Lillys."

In 1959, Pulitzer abandoned the juice industry entirely and founded Lilly Pulitzer, Inc. to focus solely on fashion. With a factory in Miami and fabrics produced in Key West, the company's designs grew in popularity as other socialites and celebrities began to wear them. In 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy appeared on the cover of LIFE magazine wearing one of Pulitzer's dresses, and business took off like wildfire. Until the mid-1980s, Lily Pulitzer remained a top brand for preppy ladies, but its founder decided to shut down the business in 1984. The rights to the Lilly Pulitzer brand were bought in 1993 by Sugartown Worldwide, Inc., and the company revived the line with Pulitzer acting as a creative consultant until her death in 2013. In addition to expanding its women's lines, the company began to produce clothes for children as well as shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
