How to Dress for Your Body Shape – Paisley Raye Edition

October 2, 2018 By Brandee Terry

When I was with LuLaRoe I wrote an article about dressing for your body shape. Now that I’m with Paisley Raye it’s time for an updated post. Read on to find out how you can dress for your body shape with Paisley Raye.

Before I start writing, I just want to put a disclaimer out there. This post isn’t designed to body shame or tell someone they can’t wear something. If you feel beautiful in a style then wear it, who cares what I or any body shape chart tells you. Rock that item with confidence and know you are a beautiful creation of God. This post is designed for those women who say to me “I can’t wear that style” or “I don’t know what will cover my thighs/arms”.
