A pencil dress is a slim-fitting dress with a straight, narrow cut.  Generally the hem falls to, or is just below the knee and is tailored for a close fit.  It is named for its shape: long and slim like a pencil.  This style manages to be figure-flattering on everyone.  Pencil dresses can be paired with stilettos or shiny jewelry to create the specific look you desire.

We love the bright fun pattern of the Botanical Gardens Floral Print Capsleeve Pencil Dress. Pencil dresses do not have to be neutral– they can be bright, bold, and sexy!  Which one of these will complete your wardrobe?

Since everyone is always asking whyour store is named Lily Boutique,I thought I’d do a blog post to explain.The store was named after my dog:

Lily is a 7 year old Maltese and an unofficial employee of Lily Boutique.She loves coming to work with us every day, so if youcall the store and hear barking in the background, it’s just her trying to get attention. Lily doesn’t like having her pictures taken, so she needed a little encouragement in order for us to get a few good shots:

As it turns out, Lily’s pretty photogenic!I think she deservessome extra treats for participating in this photo shoot.
