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.
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 Fuquay Varina, NC, 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.

Whether you're looking for a top that makes a statement or you need a classic button-down for a subdued style, we've got your back. We only carry the most popular tops from the best brands and designers around the world.
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.

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.

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.

Fuquay-Varina, NC (March 31, 2025) – Emergency responders were quick to the scene, providing care to the injured victims following a crash with injuries that occurred Monday morning in the 1200 block of N Main St.
The collision happened around 8:53 a.m. in a well-traveled area of Fuquay-Varina, where residential traffic merges with a busy corridor of businesses, schools, and morning commuters. Units from the Fuquay-Varina Fire Department responded promptly, working alongside medics to assist those injured in the crash. Individuals requiring additional medical care were transported to local hospitals for further evaluation. The total number of people or vehicles involved has not been confirmed.
Traffic flow on N Main St was temporarily affected while emergency crews worked to treat the injured and clear the scene. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by local authorities.
Our thoughts are with those recovering from this morning’s accident in Fuquay-Varina.
As suburban communities like Fuquay-Varina continue to grow, so too does the volume of morning traffic, especially along central arteries like N Main St. These roads become particularly busy during school and work commute hours, increasing the likelihood of collisions due to stop-and-go driving, congestion, and rushed decision-making behind the wheel.
Crashes during the morning commute can be especially dangerous. Drivers may still be waking up, distracted by schedules, or trying to multitask—resulting in slower reaction times and increased chances of misjudging traffic signals or stopping distances. These factors make roads like N Main St a hotspot for accidents during early hours.
When collisions occur in fast-growing suburban areas, the aftermath can ripple through a community. Beyond the immediate injuries and vehicle damage, victims often face challenges with medical treatment, transportation loss, and insurance claims. Understanding what steps to take—especially when the incident is still under investigation—is crucial to protecting one’s rights and recovering both physically and financially.
If you or someone close to you has been hurt in a crash in Fuquay-Varina or elsewhere in Wake County, taking immediate action is important. Begin with proper medical care, then document the incident thoroughly and seek guidance on how to move forward.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a crash, reach out to Local Accident Reports for assistance.

Two major Triangle health systems have proposed new facilities and services in southern Wake County, with price tags in the tens of millions.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Two of the Triangle's largest health systems are pushing to expand their services in Wake County.
WakeMed is applying to develop a new outpatient facility in Fuquay-Varina that would include a freestanding emergency department, diagnostic imaging and laboratory services, according to filings with the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Meanwhile, UNC Health wants to further expand its Holly Springs hospital, which opened in 2021, by adding more than 20 observational beds.
Both health systems were recently approved for separate expansions in Wake County based on the 2024 State Medical Facilities Plan
As proposed, the WakeMed Fuquay-Varina Healthplex would include 12 private treatment rooms, a fixed CT scanner, two X-ray machines and ultrasound equipment. The facility would also include a laboratory and pharmacy.
The $38 million project would support the growing and aging population in Wake County. Additionally, the proposed facility would create more capacity as WakeMed has seen its emergency department utilization increase in recent years. Between fiscal years 2022 and 2024, the number of emergency department visits at WakeMed facilities increased from 320,607 to 350,224, according to a project application.
WakeMed plans to build the facility in the 2400 block of North Main Street in Fuquay-Varina, according to the application. The facility would be adjacent to an existing physician office building, WakeMed Fuquay-Varina Medical Park, which has primary care and other specialty services.
WakeMed plans to begin offering services at the facility in October 2027.
If approved, this would become WakeMed's fifth "healthplex" and ninth emergency department in Wake County, according to the application. WakeMed operates similar healthplex facilities in Apex, Brier Creek, Garner and Wendell — the latter of which opened in early 2024.
In addition to developing a new freestanding emergency department, WakeMed filed a separate application to develop six additional neonatal beds at WakeMed Cary Hospital, to give the facility a total of 14 neonatal beds. The project is expected to cost about $1.48 million.
UNC Health proposed developing 24 observation beds at UNC Rex Holly Springs Hospital. UNC Health plans to add beds on the facility's seventh flour, which was previously developed as shelled space to give the hospital room to expand as patient volumes increase.
The project is expected to cost about $18.5 million.
The proposed expansion would allow the hospital to keep up with demand for medical care and services in a fast-growing area. Since opening, the hospital has delivered more than 2,500 babies, conducted more than 9,800 surgeries and treated more than 91,000 patients in its emergency department, UNC Health spokesperson Alan Wolf said in a statement.
Both UNC Health and WakeMed are not facing competition from other health systems for these most recent proposals.

A family in Fuquay-Varina who turned their tragedy into hope after losing their 15-year-old daughter has finally met the recipient of their daughter's heart.
WRAL previously spoke to John and Mayda Minsk after their daughter, Celina, died from a severe allergic reaction to peanuts. Two years later, the family has connected with 16-year-old Haley Poore, Celina's heart recipient.
"This was her second chance," said Kristie Poore, Haley's mother.
Kristie Poore said when she first learned about the possible heart, her family was overcome with mixed emotions.
“I was glad, scared, but was sad for the family that lost their child,” said Curt Poore, Haley's father.
Kristie Poore was the first to hear the news of the possible donor. She recalled being overcome by fear, worried that her daughter would not survive the transplant.
“I said, ‘Can you guarantee my daughter is going to come off that operating table?'” Kristie recalled. “She said ‘No. But I can tell you this is the most perfect heart we could ever ask for in 100 days.'”
Haley too said she had mixed emotions about the transplant. She said she was scared, but grateful to Celina's family.
Her journey after the transplant has not been easy.
“I told her, her other organs were jealous,” Kristie Poore said jokingly. “Her organs were jealous because they got this perfect heart that wanted to work, it was beating, it was thriving, it wanted to live.”
Kristie Poore said Haley is a fighter, and her heart wants to survive.
"It’s not going to end here,” Kristie said. “Celina is going to live on through Haley.”
Since the transplant, the Poore family believes they have a new perspective on life.
“I think it’s great for anybody to be a donor,” Curt Poore said. “To give other people a second chance, whether it’s to live, to see… we’re thankful and grateful for that gift.”
"It led me to write this letter to the donors," Kristie Poore said. "I wanted them to feel when they read that letter how sincere and how thankful we were for what they did for my daughter."
Kristie Poore said, since the transplant, Haley went from walking a short distance out of breath to walking long distance.
"She couldn't do that before," Kristie said. "Now she can."
