Magical Merchandise: Disney x Lilly Pulitzer

It's 4/11 and I'm here to give you the 411 on one of the hottest collections at Disney Parks right now!  The Disney x Lilly Pulitzer collaboration took the theme park world by storm about a month ago.  There was a TikTok video where the collection was teased and it was all that was needed to set Disney fans ablaze in excitement.

The collection was originally released online and in the theme parks on March 14th... 

And it took a whopping less than 15 minutes for most of the items to be completely sold out online at 3:00 am.  By the time I woke up, the only thing left were the leggings and the long sleeve dresses in extra small.  Everything else wasn't even showing up.

Ironically, it has taken an entire month for the collection to be released in the only Lilly Pulitzer store on property... hence the purpose for this post.  If you're still looking for something from the Disney x Lilly Pulitzer collection, the items will finally be available in the Disney Springs store this Thursday, 4/14!

I have to admit that this collection really caught my eye and I'm a bit disappointed that it sold out so quickly online.  I would have loved to at least get the baseball hat.  I've always loved the bright colors and watercolor style of Lilly Pulitzer designs.

Unfortunately, I've never taken the plunge to purchase any Lilly Pulitzer items because I'm not sure how they'd fit on me.  The brand only recently expanded their sizing charts and I usually have problems with items not fitting in my chest and shoulders.  Based on their size charts, most won't fit, but based on Disney's chart they might.  Basically, I'm afraid to spend so much on something that won't fit me.  If I knew the sleeveless dress would fit correctly, I would have a personal shopper pick one up in a heartbeat!

I really love the "Lilly Loves Disney" design though.  The aqua background color is beautiful.  Then, the pink, lime and orange accents are so much fun.  As you know, Eliot's and my wedding colors were pink and lime so I'm automatically drawn to those colors.  I love the playful Mickey and Minnie design in the print, with oranges tucked into the florals.  Plus, there's even a castle!  Ugh, it's so beautiful!

Disney recently released this video in collaboration with Lilly Pulitzer where you can see the different elements of the design being painted in watercolors.  It's so cool!

 

I really do love this collection and I hope this is only the beginning of the collaborations between Disney and Lilly Pulitzer.  I also hope they realize the error of their ways in making less merchandise than was needed after the super quick sellout.  Maybe they will release more of these items online eventually... a girl can dream right!  °o°
