Paisley Raye Lily Review

My Take on the Paisley Raye Lily Slip Dress!

The Paisley Raye Lily is a lightweight slip dress with pockets and adjustable straps! I absolutely love how comfortable the Lily is and it’s a great dress for summer! The material is really light and I prefer to wear a Criss Cross Cami under it. It’s not totally see through and I have worn it without something under it and it’s perfectly fine. I just like the added amount of coverage. Plus the detail of the criss cross on the Cami always adds a cute touch! The Lily is a cami dress with thin straps so there is not a lot of arm coverage. I’m not a huge fan of my arms so I usually put some sort of cover up on the top. The Paisley Raye Cosmo is a nice option and I’m pictured below with that combo. The straps are adjustable which is a really nice feature. There is nothing more annoying than a strap falling down on your shoulder all the time! The Paisley Raye Lily also features pockets! Even though the material is lightweight the pockets don’t seem to weigh down the dress at all! I’ll usually stick my cell phone in the pocket and it’s perfect!

I’ve worn the Paisley Raye Lily with leggings and Pixie Pants and I love it as a tunic! I think it would be perfect with jeans too! I haven’t worn it without pants just because of my own personal comfort level but you definitely could! It would also look super cute belted at the waist with a Cinch belt since it’s a very flowy dress! I love the versatility of the Lily and I know you will too!

Paisley Raye Aster Review

My take on the Paisley Raye Aster!

The Paisley Raye Aster is one of my favorite dresses! This dress features bishop sleeves, an adorable cutout on the back, and hidden pockets! The Aster dress comes in three different materials; crepon, lace, and mesh. The lace and mesh is super stretchy and the crepon is more fitting. You would be fine with your true size with any of them (One of the main things I love about Paisley Raye!) or you can size up in the crepon and size down in the lace and mesh. While wearing your true size the dress should hit right at or a little below the knee. In the photo below of my mom she is wearing her true size. If you size down you can wear it as more of a tunic with leggings or Pixie Pants! In the photos of me below I sized down to wear it in that way. The cut out on the back is such an amazing added detail!

The bishop sleeves have elastic on the ends to create a really cute look! My arms are a bit bigger so I was worried about the elastic cutting into me but even when sizing down this wasn’t an issue. The sleeves are also nice and lightweight so even in warm temperatures the Paisley Raye Aster is a great choice! It’s a great dress for work, weddings, or even a casual date! I LOVE pockets in anything and Paisley Raye often features pockets in many of their items! The pockets don’t make the dress bulky at all and they truly are a hidden amenity.

Paisley Raye Tulip Tee Review

My take on the Paisley Raye Tulip Tee!

My very first Paisley Raye item was the Tulip Tee! I purchased it before I was a Paisley Raye stylist and I instantly fell in love! The Paisley Raye Tulip Tee is SO flattering. It has a shark bite hemline that flows so perfectly on every body shape. I’m plus size and I love something that can be flowy without looking like a potato sack! The Tulip Tee does just that! One of the big things I love about Paisley Raye is the small details that they sneak in to each item. On the Tulip Tee, it’s the small upturned edges on the sleeves. The sleeves of the Tulip Tee are wide so they won’t constrict your arms but they also provide a great amount of coverage! I’m not a fan of my arm flab so normally I don’t like super short sleeves on anything. They are wide enough to let you move around but there is also enough fabric so that they fall nicely to cover your upper arm. The shark bite hemline means that the Tee is longer on the sides and shorter in the middle, however, the Tulip Tee provides excellent coverage in the front and back for those of you who like to wear leggings! The sides also feature two slits that can be knotted if you want to add that to your look! The neckline is a bit of a V but not super low. You can wear it with or without a cami underneath. Sometimes I’ll put on one of my Criss Cross Camis just for a little something extra! Below I’ve added a few picture of myself with my first Tulip! Paisley Raye just released another run of this awesome top and I’ll have more in the shop soon! For now, shop what I have on hand here: Paisley Raye Tulip Tee
