ABOUT D. LILES COLLECTION
D. Liles Collection began with the simplest intentions. At the time, I was an Assistant Director of Alumni Relations at my Alma Mater, when I began designing and making vintage-inspired lace dresses for my toddler and infant daughters. A style that was not easy to find and very expensive. It was so much fun, I made several and under the prompting of friends, I began making their daughters dresses. Those first few designs were made from scraps of fabric and reclaimed lace from old clothing. I am so humbled by those earliest dress designs, because I had just started sewing and didn’t have the slightest bit of business savvy!
I started my business on Etsy in 2013 and in 2015, I became a brand. I have produced over 80,000 dresses in the last 10 years, I love my job, this is what I was created to do. By far my favorite part of designing is the joy my dresses bring to my customers. I am so thankful to my loyal customers, who have enabled me to make a living out of something I love so much. It is my passion that my dresses are dearly loved and thoroughly worn.
D. Liles Collection, is about beautiful textures, tulle, lace and careful details. All of our designs are child friendly (elastic waist, cotton liners and soft tulle) and made with high, quality beautiful fabrics. Whether it’s a lace high-low dress, ruffled puff sleeves, or a knee length tulle dress our aim is to create gorgeous dresses girls of all ages feel pampered and special!
