The highlights of our iconic shift dress are all here: a soft and easy fit, sleeveless silhouette, and a bra-friendly design. And while those do speak to our sunny side, sometimes we want a little more. Hello, ruffles! Playful ruffles trail the arm cut-outs and front, plus a stand collar and pearl beads catch the eye. When the party calls for a dress with fun details, the Adalee Shift Dress is the perfect plus-one.

Festive and Pretty
3 years ago
I wore this for an anniversary dinner and loved it. The embellishments and frilly trim made it a perfect and festive dress to celebrate in. Great fit and length. Front zipper made it tricky to get over hips and could not step into the dress I had to put it on over my head. Other than getting on and off, it was a great outfit.

I never would have picked this dress out for myself, but the sales associate at the boutique recommended it and I'm so glad I gave her the benefit of the doubt and tried it on. It is incredibly flattering and comfortable. I've worn this out to dinner, to work and on vacation. it pairs well with a gold thong sandal or nude pump. I adore this dress!

Poor quality

This dress is very disappointing. It feels like cheap rayon, and the pearl detailing is awful. Definitely not worth the price.

Cute dress
5 years ago
This is really cute. Wish it came in white. I’m 5’ 11”, bought in a small and I am a lean build. Let me tell you, the dress on the model is way shorter than mine. They must have hemmed it way up for the photo shoot. Nice dress tho.

I have not worn it yet, saving it for a beach wedding. Love the lines and the stream line fit. The color is versatile- great dress for graduation parties to.

This dress is PERFECT and just as I expected it to be! I was a bit worried it would be a bit big, but I ordered my regular size (12) and it fit perfectly!

Pearls and I basically hand over my card. This dress is so darling. The perfect touch with sleeves and the pearls lining the zipper. My worry is they would come off, however as lost Lilly items they are on there really good. Such a great little navy dress

The ruffles and pearls on the dress make it beautiful! The fabric feels like high quality that Lilly is. I love the length. It hits right above my knee, not too short. I did size down to a 2 which I sometimes have to do with sleeveless items. The 4 was too big under the arms. I love the a-line fit. It is perfect for someone with a pear shaped body. For reference, I am 5’6”, 123 lbs., 34B. I bought the Amalie cardigan in navy to pair with this dress in case it is cold on Easter morning.

I am usually a 4/6 and I purchased a 4 and it was boxy and not flattering. The length was also long in an unflattering way (and I'm 5'7").

I am absolutely obsessed with This dress! So glad I pulled the trigger. The pearl details are absolutely stunning. Very luxe. The ruffles on the sleeves & neckline make me feel super feminine & girly. I’m 5’11 and ordered the size 12. If you’re in between sixes, then size down. Oh & the zipper down the front allows you to show as much , or as little, as you’d like. :)

When I saw this dress in the ad, I knew I would buy it! I’m 5’10 and the length is great. It is very flowy and forgiving, which makes it easy to wear while still looking like a million bucks. The pearl detailing and ruffles makes it extra classy and a staple piece of my Lilly wardrobe. Runs large because of the cut of the dress so I sized down a size.

This is the first dress I have purchased from Lilly. This fit is very flattering & the fabric is a nice weight. The arm opening with ruffle detail provides a little more coverage than other dresses. The pearl detailing on the front is nicely done.

Runs large

I bought this dress a month ago to wear on a trip to Florida I bought my normal size which is a 4 and it was way too big so I returned and sized down when I received the 2 it is still way too big everywhere but in the chest area, so sadly to say the 0 was too tight in the chest but fit everywhere else. This is a beautiful dress I guess it just wasn’t meant for me!

Poor quality zipper
6 years ago
I am seeing a noticeable change in the quality of LP zippers. They become stuck quite easily and can get caught in the fabric. They don't "glide" as they once did. Love your colors, patterns and style, but your zippers aren't what they used to be. I ended up returning this dress.

Went to the store to try on and so happy I did! I usually wear a 4 in structured shifts and 2 in the Pearl soft shift. Had to size down to a 0 in the Adalee dress. Super comfortable and love the length and pearl details! This may be my new favorite Lilly dress! Please make this in more colors!
