 Boutique Dresses Fountain Inn, SC

A-Line Waist

These dresses are made to fit your waist and then gradually flare out towards the hem. A-line dresses are excellent for minimizing thighs, hips, and midsections while pulling the eyes to your bust. This style of dress is a great fit for almost any body type. There's a reason why so many brides settle on A-Line dresses for their big day! With plenty of varieties, this is a kind of dress that you can wear again and again.

Empire Waist

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.

Drop Waist

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.

Once 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:

Fit & Flare Dresses in Fountain Inn

Any clothing store for women in Fountain Inn, 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 in Fountain Inn

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 in Fountain Inn

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.

How to Find the Right Fit for Your Women's Top

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.

Fountain Inn, a cute little town just 25 minutes south of Greenville, has an awesome, free splash pad. The town is small but growing and building up their Main Street so the splash pad is accompanied by shops, restaurants, and farmers market along Main Street in Fountain Inn, SC. Here’s everything you need to know about the splash pad, plus what to do when you’re in the area.

Splash pads are fantastic because kids of any age can enjoy the water without fear of swimming and all you need is a bathing suit and towel. All the splash pads in the Greenville area are free, as is this one, so it costs you nothing to come and let your kids cool off in the summer heat.

The Fountain Inn splash pad is right on Main Street so you can go check out the area restaurants and spend some time there. Area restaurants include Growler Haus, Cucina 100, and JPeters. Also, check out Gio’s Pastry Shop for amazing Italian pastries.

The farmers market is across the street and during the summer, Fountain Inn hosts Friday night live music in that same space. There are events all year round that really provide families with a wonderful small-town experience.

Also in Fountain Inn, you’ll find the Emmanuel Sullivan Sports Complex which is home to a fun, shaded playground with a ground-level trampoline. It takes just a couple of minutes to drive from Main Street to the park, where there is plenty of parking available.

Don’t miss Fountain Inn’s great parks.

The splash pad is right behind a beautiful arbor with plenty of benches for seating. One big positive about this splash pad is the shade. No other splash pad in Greenville has shade, so while the kids are running around in the water, us parents are sweating it out in the hot sun. The space has seating areas that has umbrellas for shade.

The splash pad originally opened in 2019. A group called Leadership Golden Strip, which is a collaboration between Simpsonville, Mauldin, and Fountain Inn chambers of commerce, spearheaded the fundraising efforts and the City of Fountain Inn and the Chamber of Commerce also added assistance. The teams raised $125,000 for the installation of the splash pad (now you know why not every town has one – it’s not cheap).

Greenville Water donated $25,000 to the effort. They also had a local artist do a mural on the far side of the splash pad.

The Fountain Inn splash pad is open daily. If the water isn’t on, there is a small tower on one end of the splash pad where a button can be pressed. The water will then turn on for five minutes. Just press it again to keep the water on. This is such a smart way to save water when the splash pad isn’t in use.

Public restrooms are available at the Fountain Inn Welcome Center (102 Depot Street).

Parking is available right behind the splash pad as well as directly on Main Street.

The splash pad will light up at night, too, for an extra cool ambiance.

Per the City of Fountain Inn, the following are rules and regulations for use of the splash pad:

1. All persons using the splash pad do so at their own risk. This is an unsupervised facility. 2. Water shoes are recommended.3. All children under (12) must have adult supervision at all times. Children under 6 years old must be within arm’s reach of an adult while on the splash pad.4. Clothing/swimsuits are required. Children in diapers must wear swim diapers.5. All participants must conduct themselves in a courteous, safe, and family-oriented manner.6. Water in the splash pad is not to be used for drinking.7. No running or rough play. 8. Do not sit, stand, cover, or block any of the water jets. 9. No Food, drinks, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and e-cigarettes are allowed. 10. No pets are allowed on the splash pad. 11. No Bicycles, skateboards, skates, or rollerblades are allowed.12. No glass containers are allowed.13. Do not use splash pad during severe weather or heavy rain or when thunder or lightning can be seen/heard.14. No electrical appliances are allowed near the splash pad.

Fountain Inn celebrates renovation of long-neglected park

FOUNTAIN INN — After a years-long effort by a neighboring congregation and the surrounding community, a transformed Sanctified Hill Park is now open in Fountain Inn.

Sanctified Hill is the Upstate town’s only park on its Lauren County side and sits in a historically Black neighborhood. For years it was neglected by the city, with maintenance falling to the nearby Goldenview Baptist Church. The condition of the park, a central gathering place for the surrounding community, was allowed to deteriorate over time.

But in September by leveraging state, city and county funds, Fountain Inn broke ground on a $3 million renovation of the park. That work culminated May 5 with a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Previously, the park consisted of an aging asphalt basketball court, a field and a handful of swings. The updated Sanctified Hill now includes a paved walking trail, bathrooms, picnic shelters, new basketball courts and parking lot and two playgrounds, one of which is ADA compliant.

Pastor Jeffery Williams of Goldenview Baptist, who has long been involved in the push to revitalize the park, said the final product exceeded his expectations.

“This is more than what I imagined it would be,” he said. “It’s brought a sense of community. I’ve seen everybody out there of different races just getting along.”

Investing in Sanctified Hill has been a priority for Mayor GP McLeer since he was elected in 2019, and he said the opening last week was highlight of his tenure so far.

When the city first started putting plans together for the improvements in 2021, it initially appeared the cost of the work would require it to be divided into two phases. But after state Rep. Mark Willis secured $2.6 million for the project in this year’s state budget, the city was able to complete it all at once.

Another $75,000 came from the Laurens County allotment of the American Rescue Plan stimulus package. The county’s penny sales tax provided $50,000. The remainder of the roughly $3 million price tag was covered by the city.

GREENVILLE — Tucked in the middle of the aging shopping plaza on Pleasantburg Drive is a new business that’s hard to pin down.

Part retail shop, part museum, part demonstration center, part passion.

However you classify it, The Mushroom Spot has a unique backstory that begins with its owner, Ward Watson, and a hope to make the world of fungi accessible to all.

As a kid growing up in Greenville, Watson didn’t like mushrooms all that much, but he grew an interest that turned into a passion from years working in restaurants. In mushrooms, he found not just a world but a universe.

“I was like ‘you’ve got olive oil stores, vinegar stores, soy candle stores, why can’t you have a mushroom store?’” Watson said of the idea for The Mushroom Spot. “Mushrooms are not just come in and buy mushrooms. You can go look for them, you can grow them, you have the foodie products. We have supplements, adaptogens, lions mane, cordyseps.”

The store, set in the aging Lake Forest Shopping Plaza across from Bob Jones University, is somewhat unique in that it sells mushrooms in many forms.

It has fresh foraged mushrooms, along with mushroom-related products and foods, art, books on foraging and mushroom species, along with a small growing operation. You will find a handcrafted mushroom mug, mushroom jerky, mushroom tinctures and growing starter kits.

“Why not bring all that together in a store?” he said.

After graduating from Christ Church school in Greenville and attending Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, Watson stayed up North. Though he’d studied romance languages in school, he found a path to restaurants, drawn by the energy and the connection with people — and pushed by an economic downturn, he said.

He became fascinated with what he calls the intersection of mushrooms with human culture that stretches back centuries.

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Over the past two years the city of Fountain Inn has had at least two dozen groundbreaking’s and ribbon-cutting’s, and the latest one is happening at a spot which hasn’t had visitors in years.

At the site of the Ellison Flour Mill, things are coming together, such as a brewery, several restaurants and a greenspace.

Developers and co-owners, Bryan Beal and Nate Tomforde, gathered for the groundbreaking on Tuesday, February 28. They say they were drawn to the historic location for the opportunity to take something old and make it new again.

“This land is on the historical register of South Carolina so it’s a historical landmark so everything we do is going to have to adhere to those standards,” said Beal.

There are three existing buildings on the site, which previously served as a flour mill, auction house and vehicle repair shop. The developers plan to restore all three while preserving the buildings’ history and repurposing as much of the original material as possible.

The former three-story mill building will house a new brewery concept from Tomforde, who also owns Southernside Brewing Co. and Double Stamp Brewing.

“There’s not kind of a local gathering spot here and so being able to put that together with an old historic building, it’s just a special thing,” said Tomforde. “Our city council and I have a vision of making downtown Fountain Inn one of the best small downtown’s in the Upstate.”

The brewing equipment will be installed on the ground level, along with cold storage, a bar area and seating on the main level. The second floor will be used for additional seating and special events. The bar will feature about 15 taps, with a wide selection of house-brewed beers, as well as wine and cocktails.

The middle building will be a common area with indoor seating and access to the outdoor greenspace, which will include even more seating and an outdoor screen for movies, sporting events and live music.

The mill equipment will be refurbished and put on display at the front of the building, to pay tribute to Fountain Inn’s textile history.

Community members are also excited about this site being restored as an entertainment area.

“And we are super excited to see such a great venue come here. It’s going to be awesome,” said Stacy Jacobs. “Sometime this spring will be able to start construction this spring, and we can hopefully be open between now and the end of the year.”

The former repair shop building, on the far side of the property, will become a food hall with multiple local restaurant tenants, which are yet to be announced.

“It is an honor to bring this community gathering space to downtown Fountain Inn,” says Beal in a release. “We are incredibly grateful to the City, the Chamber, and all of the local leaders who are helping make it possible. We are thankful for the support and partnerships that got us to this point. We can’t wait to see our vision for The Mill at Fountain Inn come to life.”

The brewery will likely be the first to open, with the full development projected to open by early 2024.
