With plenty of varieties, this is a kind of dress that you can wear again and again.

Like the A-Line style, empire dresses are made to fit through your bust. Rather than creating a distinctly angular shape like the A-Line, the Empire style flows from the bust down. This is another kind of dress that fits many body types. From curvy to apple body shapes, the Empire draws focus to your bust and minimizes everything else. For lovely ladies on the shorter side, this style defines your silhouette, especially if you choose a maxi length dress.

A throwback to the roaring 20's style flapper dresses, Drop Waist dresses look best on lean, athletic bodies that don't have too many curves in the hip area. The key to pulling off a Drop Waist style dress is to ensure that it's not hugging you. This dress is best worn when it is able to hang freely on your body.
SHOP NOWOnce you know the kind of waist that fits your body type, it's time to find your shape. A few of our most popular dress shapes include:
Any clothing store for women in Folly Beach, SC, worth its salt, will have plenty of fit & flare dresses for you to try. This common-shaped dress is one of the most popular on the market, mainly because they look great on every woman, regardless of age or shape. A timeless choice, fit & flare dresses fit through the bodice and flare out just below your hip. This helps develop a balanced, slimming silhouette for most women. If you want to accentuate your best assets and hide everything else, ask our experienced fashionistas to show you some the most popular fit & flare dresses at Copper Penny.
Time to start doing your happy dance! Fit & flare dresses have very balanced proportions, making them a true winner for every body type. Women with athletic builds love this dress for the extra curves. Women with apple-shaped bodies love how fit & flare dresses define their waistlines. Because this dress already looks like an hourglass on the hanger, it will be a natural fit for ladies with such a figure.
Shift dresses are typically rectangular in shape and tend to be comfy and forgiving since they aren't fitted. Also called a column dress, the shift dress is a great choice for polished professionals needing a conservative, fashionable outfit for work.
These dresses look fabulous on women with athletic, lean shapes and women with an apple-like figure. This kind of dress doesn't work well with a belt, so ladies with an hourglass figure may not be able to show off their curves in a shift. Try pairing this dress with a nice pair of heels for a beautiful new look!
Wrap dresses are one of the most popular styles on the market, because they give ladies of most shapes and sizes a flattering, fashionable dress option.
If you have an hourglass, apple, or generally curvy body shape, you're going to love wrap dresses. This style of dress offers a natural waist while placing emphasis on your bust. Wrap dresses give you a balanced silhouette and, with a knee-length fit, are great for any type of color or style, both day and nightwear.
Unless you're feeling extra sassy, chances are you're wearing a top at this very moment. Tops are garments that cover the top half of your body. At Copper Penny, we have an endless selection of tops in a wide range of styles - from basic tees to blouses and everything in between.

Sometimes called broadcloth tops, poplins have classic characteristics and are often woven with an over/under weave. This kind of weave gives more substance to your top while also giving you room to breathe. Poplin shirts are typically soft and smooth, and are great for everyday business attire, some formal occasions, and for certain ceremonies. Sweet and feminine, our Bruna poplin eyelet bib top features ruffles at the sleeves and an eyelet lace yoke at the front. Pair your poplin with your favorite pair of shorts or jeans for a contemporary, relaxed look.

The result is a flirty flash of skin, which elongates your neck and gives a relaxed, "daytime casual" look. Our Nola off-the-shoulder top pairs perfectly with shorts or even a flowy skirt and is hand-woven in Spain using Jacquard fabric.

When choosing a women's top for your outfit, you have to consider how comfortable, confident, and beautiful you will feel. The best way to feel your best in an outfit is to make sure it fits correctly. To get started, you'll want to take your measurements. For most women's tops, the best areas to focus on are your hips, waist, and chest.
Hip Measurements: Measuring your hips is fairly easy. Take your measuring tape and use it to wrap around the widest area of your hips.
Waist Measurements: Take your measuring tape and place it at the very top of your hip bone. Wrap it all the way around your body. Try to keep your measuring tape in line with your belly button. For the most accurate measurements, stand up straight and breathe normally.
Chest Measurements: For an accurate chest measurement, take the end of your measuring tape and place it on the fullest area of your bust. From there, wrap the tape around your body, under your armpits, and around the blades of your shoulders. Then, wrap the tape tightly from the back of your body to the front, where you started.

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCBD) – Folly Beach city council is set to discuss amendments to its short term rental ordinance Tuesday night.
After a short-term rental cap was put in place last year, council members wanted to clarify language within the ordinance. Officials said although there won’t be any significant changes, one that stands out could be the discussion of the consequences by turning in business licenses late.
“As it stands now – failure to turn in a timely rental registration result in ramification of a license,” DJ Rich, council member of Folly Beach, said. “There is a reason it’s come up, that’s a little too harsh. I also believe its a little too harsh, I think a strike is more applicable. If you’re late turning in your business license for any other business that you have, you know you don’t lose your business. You pay a penalty, which is adequate here but we will see how the discussion goes tonight.”
Other items on the agenda included eligibility for inheritance-based Investor Short Term Rental (ISTR) licenses, the allowance of licensed homes to be relocated without losing eligibility for a rental license, and amending information required to apply for rental registration.
Although, some residents said since the cap was put in place, the amount of days they are able to rent in a year are slim.
“Now I’m limited to 72 days and I have no choice but to get an ISTR,” Ellen Stoler, resident of Folly Beach, said. “ISTR, you know, is limited now. I am on the waiting list but I’m like seventieth on the waiting list because it goes by whose lived here the longest.”
The regulations have hurt the business of residents that rent their homes while living in them full-time.
“I don’t like being limited to 72 days, I live here, I’m with the people in my house – I never had a complaint,” Stoler said. “I enjoy it a lot, it’s great for an empty-nester, I’ve met people from all over the world.”
Stoler said people she knows are experiencing the same difficulties of trying to get an ISTR. She explained she may now have to get a long-term rental license, which does not pay off in the same way.
“Well, I’ve been short-term renting for years,” Stoler said. “I didn’t like being limited to 72 and I didn’t like not being able to switch to an ISTR. I think they should’ve had a grandfathered period where people could’ve switched and then if they wanted to change all the rules – then do it. There were a lot of people who made lifelong plans that included switching to an ISTR.”

FOLLY BEACH, S.C. (WCIV) — While Hurricane Helene caused widespread devastation in Western North Carolina, not all Christmas tree growers in that area are experiencing the same level of hardship.
While some growers are dealing with extensive damage, others are not.
“I reached out to my distributor early on after the storm and they assured me that the trees were fine," said Andy McClellan, a Christmas tree seller on Folly Beach. "Unfortunately, most of the water and stuff went down the mountain."
Last week, McClellan and his wife Tara traveled to North Carolina to pick up 140 fresh Fraser Fir trees for their traditional holiday sale at the beach town.

It's a tradition that started 15 years ago.
“Last year we had our 1st second generation- a young guy that came with his family, and last year he came with his wife and brand-new son,” McClellan said.
McClellan would have been disappointed but understanding if his family wouldn't have been able to do this year's Mama Jean's Christmas Trees sale.
But, good fortune made it possible despite some heartbreak.
“They were caught up in the storm and those folks were needing some help,” he said.

Not only did the McClellan family head north looking to pick up the trees – they brought something special with them.
“We were able to go up there and share some gifts from the heart that our community and surrounding communities collected for them, to show our love and support for them in their time of need," McClellan said. "And we were able to get Christmas Trees for our community to enjoy the beautiful fresh Fraser Firs that come out of Western North Carolina.”
McClellan hopes any little bit helps to regrow the area.
“Personally, for me, yes it does because those folks are hurting right now and anything to boost their economy is definitely a plus,” he said.
