We offer several styles and shapes from which you can pick. Not sure what style fits best?
It all starts at the 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.

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.

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.

Great for wearing solo or layered over a camisole or tank top, wrap tops are lightweight, versatile, and great for many different occasions.

Our V-Neck Wrap SLV Top by Jayden is uber-popular at Copper Penny and the perfect choice for dressing down or dressing up. The choice is yours!

For a dose of feminine fashion, be sure you add an off-the-shoulder top to your everyday wardrobe. A casual, sexy choice, off-the-shoulder tops have unique necklines that cut across your upper arms and chest, leaving your shoulders bare. 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.

FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. —
The city of Fountain Inn recently announced a parking lot refurbishing project in its downtown area.
The project will begin on Thursday, where three major parking lots in downtown Fountain Inn will be "resurfaced and relined," according to Chamber of Commerce President & CEO Marnie Schwartz-Hanley.
“Right now, the city is looking at some solutions for the businesses because this is a busy season for us," Schwartz-Hanley said. "We’re going into, of course, prom and graduation, wedding season and all of our great Fountain Inn festivals. Closing these lots, of course, is going to create some disruption in our downtown area for a short period of time.”
According to the city, the project is expected to last anywhere from 60-90 days, weather permitting. As of right now, three lots will be closed at the same time throughout the duration of the project as they undergo refurbishing.
The lots include the Splash Pad Parking Lot, Weston/Trade Street Lot, and the Jones Street Lot.
Several business owners and residents in Fountain Inn reached out to WYFF News 4 expressing mixed reactions. Some business owners said the closure of three main lots at one time, for an extended period of time, will harm business and limit client access, which could be detrimental in the long run. Other business owners said while the project will create some challenges, it will be worth it in the end when more parking is available for more tourists as spring and summer roll in. They also expressed a displeasure with the city due to a lack of notice about the project, saying they found out about a week in advance giving them little time to come up with a client-centered solution.
Isolated thunderstorms continue through morning
“They could at least break it up," Fountain Inn resident Thomas Pahel said. "Do one parking lot at a time, or like I said, there’s three different parking lots; they could do two and leave one free. They’re {the businesses} going to take a massive hit if there’s no parking anywhere. It’s hard to park here during the day, and now to have all of these parking lots taken up and no parking at the businesses, how will people get here to spend money and keep this town thriving?”
Schwartz-Hanley said the city, in conjunction with the chamber of commerce, is working hard to come up with temporary solutions to accommodate the businesses in the surrounding area, along with customers and clients who need access to parking.

Some scary moments during a Christmas carriage ride in Fountain Inn, South Carolina, when the carriage came apart, and the horse ran away.
The incident was caught on camera, and you can watch it above.
This happened Thursday night. The carriage rides are part of the Christmas in Our Town event.

The video shows the carriage falling apart during a ride, and the horse run away with some of the carriage still attached at the intersection of Trade Street and Main Street.
Kennedy Szymanski is a hairstylist at a nearby salon.
"I was doing one of my client’s hair, and we just heard a loud crash," Szymanski said. "We just thought it was a car wreck. We looked out the window and we saw the horse taking off down Main Street and a lady following behind. That’s not something you’d see out of a Hallmark movie, but it’s something to add to it, I guess.”
Dreze Shell is the owner of Uptown Barbershop along Main Street.
“This ain’t the wild wild west now," Shell said, jokingly. "So, all of a sudden, a flash went by the window. We’re trying to figure out what’s going on. All you saw was a buggy and a horse, and the horse just took off. The buggy was sitting in the street. Poor little horse.I’ve been here over 12 years, and this is the first time a horse has ever got away in Fountain Inn.”

The folks who were in the carriage are able to get out and appear to be uninjured.
The rides offer folks a tour of downtown Fountain Inn during the holiday season.
The city of Fountain Inn told WYFF News 4 the following:
"The horse is happy and well…just got spooked a bit. There were no injuries or property damage reported.
"We took a little time last night after the incident to double-check all carriages to make sure this was an isolated incident and we’re convinced that it was. We will also do a thorough inspection of all carriages again today.
"The most important part of any event in Fountain Inn is safety and we take every step possible to mitigate any risk of injury while still providing a fun, family friendly experience. However, as with anything, unforeseen incidents can happen. This was the case last night.
"We will spend more time today and in the coming days trying to understand exactly what happened and why. However, at this time we are convinced it was an isolated incident that thankfully resulted in no injuries to the horse or anyone involved."

Jones Mill, a grist mill dating back to the 1860s, has stood unused for decades.
In 2021, the Jones Mill Restoration Committee began an effort to save the more than century-old structure and transform it into an amenity for the surrounding area. With a $1.6 million earmark in the state budget awarded last year, that transformation is in full swing.
Buddy Gray, the committee's chairman, said the mill's foundation, which was in desperate need of repair, has been fully stabilized. The group has also secured a contractor to construct a structural frame around the building to allow further work to go forward.
After that, Gray said, the priority will be refurbishing the mill's roof and siding, an effort to prevent further deterioration before renovations begin on the interior.
Eventually, he said, the group plans to repair the long-neglected water wheel to recreate a fully functioning mill, though no grist will be produced on site.
On the other side of Durbin Creek, which cuts through the property, a network of trails is already largely complete.
Gray said eventually a bridge will extend across the waterway to connect the two sides of the property, but work on that portion of the project is pending as Fountain Inn considers whether to annex a portion of the land which currently sits in the county.
About 20 acres of the coming park has already been brought into city limits, but the 9 acres the mill stands on remains outside Fountain Inn. The city's planning commission will vote on incorporating the tract Jan. 25. If approved, the measure will go on to City Council.
Mayor GP McLeer said he supports the annexation.
"It's a piece of our history, not just in terms of the people who lived there and operated it, but it's also a piece of our economic history," he said. "It's a way for us not just to just remember that history, but to see it and, even better, physically experience it. It also protects more greenspace, which our new comprehensive plan calls for us to do as a city."
Amenities including an outdoor classroom and picnic shelter are still in the works, Gray said. But the committee will make it a priority to install a graded parking lot and handicap-accessible bathrooms first. And as the project progresses, Gray said the group will likely have to explore other funding options to complete the park.
The full restoration of the mill alone could cost around $1 million, he said.
Still, the $1.6 million awarded by the state will be enough to complete the most-vital projects. Gray said the committee plans to eventually give ownership of the property to Greenville County, which would operate and maintain the park.
He said it could be open to the public as early as 2026.
