Lily originally purchased it for Happy Isles, but before placing it on the sales floor, she decided to see if it belonged in her own closet. "When it came in, I was shocked at how gorgeous it was," she says. "It basically looks wet. It's so slippery and soft." A longtime admirer of Malcolm Starr, she couldn't resist keeping it. "Anything Malcolm Starr from the '60s I always have my eye on," she says. The dress eventually accompanied her to a rehearsal dinner. "It was the perfect little lady dress," she recalls. "It's one that I debated keeping forever, but it's such a gorgeous piece, and I think someone deserves to get wear out of it."
