The story of my made-to-measure dress

We've asked real #LilliJahiloWomen to share their unique stories of their made-to-measure dressses.

Jaanika: "Lilli's made-to-measure dresses in the world of fashion are like Chanel No. 5 in the world of perfume."

"In the past, it was Chanel No. 5 that made heads turn; now it’s Lilli Jahilo’s designs. These dresses are so comfortable, timeless, classic, and stylish. If you could maintain your size throughout life, you could wear them forever. Lilli’s dresses make you feel incredibly feminine. Wherever you go and you're wearing a Lilli dress, heads turn.

My story with the pink Cannes dress is this: I originally had the same dress, but in yellow—the very first Cannes dress ever created. However, as the body changes over the years, the dress found a new owner through the Maison’s #LilliJahiloPreLoved platform. I then ordered the same made-to-measure dress, but this time in a new color. I feel that the powder pink uplifts my mood and is just what I need right now."

Piret: "Good Mood Dresses!"

"With a Lilli dress in the wardrobe, you’ll never say you have nothing to wear. Her creations brighten your mood and boost confidence—I feel that I look damn good. I also have ready-to-wear dresses in standard sizes, but with made-to-measure dresses, since our bodies are different, the fit is next level. As a result, all women are treated as equally beautiful and are inclusive in designer clothing. Lilli has a strong vision of how a dress should look and how it should fit. She knows how to get the proportions just right; the lengths of the skirt and sleeves are thoroughly thought out. I know that her creations will always fit perfectly and never overwhelm the wearer. On the contrary, the dresses truly elevate and empower the wearer."

Kirke: "Whenever I wear a Lilli dress to work or on stage while giving a speech, I know I'll do great!"

"I’m confident that Lilli can create cuts for 99% of people. Even though our bodies are different, she is able to find something for everyone to wear and make them feel beautiful. I have even had the honor of having a dress named after me in her collection, which is a huge privilege. Honestly, I could wear her clothes all the time—at night, at work, on stage. You can be sure that you will always receive lots of compliments, and when you get home in the evening, you still won’t want to take them off.

I'm into classic style, and once you buy one of her dresses, you can easily wear it for 4-5 years or more. I’m not a fast fashion person, and I’m also willing to invest the time into ordering a made-to-measure dress. I’m a huge fan of Lilli, and I trust her completely. Whatever she recommends to me, I trust her taste.

There’s a hidden feminine sensuality in her dresses, even though that’s not the first thing you’d associate with her designs at first glance. When wearing one of Lilli’s dresses, you instantly feel confident. This buttoned made-to-measure dress reminds me of a fun date story, where my former boyfriend was quite surprised when he realized that all of these buttons had to be undone one by one. But actually, there’s also a concealed zipper on the side!"

Tiina: "I feel so chic in this jumpsuit!"

"The first 'Mette' made-to-measure jumpsuit that was launched was white, but I knew right away that I would have loved it even more in black. So as soon as it was available, I placed an order immediately because my dream had come true!
I always trust Lilli's vision, and the result is perfect! I feel very stylish and confident when wearing it. What more could a woman want?"
