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 Garden City, GA, 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.

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.

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.

Two months ago Garden City unanimously passed a resolution authorizing a memorandum of understanding with Visit Savannah as a director marketing organization (DMO) to promote the city as a destination for tourists.
DMOs are non-profit organizations that help promote and market local attractions, accommodation options, tourism services, transportation, retail stores, restaurants, events and more. Garden City previously contracted with another DMO, but after more than a year of no communication with the leadership of the Garden City Convention Center and Visitor’s Bureau, the city reached out to Visit Savannah for assistance.
According to CEO Joseph Marinelli, Visit Savannah has contracted Robyn Iannone, the CEO of 3P Workplace Consultants, who is in the early stages of determining how best to market Garden City when more than half of its land is devoted to industrial or commercial uses related to due the Georgia Ports Authority.
Iannone conducted a listening tour with business owners and hoteliers to identify their customer bases and what their priorities are for 2025.
Over the next two years, Garden City will feel the impacts from several projects opening in surrounding cities—such as the first Wawa in Georgia, just 20 minutes away in Pooler, and the Ghost Pirates Ice Cove and Anchor Park in Port Wentworth. Both developments are easily accessible through Garden City.
“Business owners in Garden City are keenly aware that Garden City is an ideal option for budget-conscience travelers looking to visit Savannah, Chatham County and the surrounding areas,” Ianonne said. “Mainly due to its proximity to athletic fields, the port, EnMarket Arena, and more. Whether it’s a business traveler doing business at the port, a leisure traveler in town to enjoy all the attractions offered locally, or a family attending an event at a nearby sports venue, Garden City is the ideal location.”
The goal is to wrap up conversations by year's end, and then Visit Savannah will sit with Iannone and make recommendations for strategies to promote businesses. One of the first things they’ll consider is an update to the Garden City tourism website, which needs a refresh, according to Marinelli.
“We can’t have a visitor go to the website and there’s something there from like 2013, or something like that. We’ll be thinking about advertising strategies, like print and digital ads, thinking about how to promote Garden City on social media and so forth, once we refresh the brand,” Marinelli said. “Hopefully, this will benefit the business in Garden City and attract more visitors.”
Iannone said they would be focused on marketing regionally to drive-market customers and welcoming film and construction crews who want somewhere to stay that’s budget-friendly.
The marketing plan will then be presented to the Garden City manager with objectives for 2025 and beyond.
“The key is that none of this will happen overnight. It takes time and patience to do it right, and fortunately, the city manager and the local area business owners understand and are on board,” Ianonne said. “The most important thing for residents to understand is that, ultimately, a tourism/marketing plan is about jobs. Increased visitation not only means hotel stays—it means more diners in restaurants, more visits to dry cleaners and convenience stores, and more engagement with local businesses.”

At its monthly board meeting Tuesday morning, the Georgia Ports Authority announced that the Garden City Terminal enjoyed its eighth consecutive month of growth.

At its monthly board meeting Tuesday morning, the Georgia Ports Authority announced that the Garden City Terminal enjoyed its eighth consecutive month of growth. GPA President and CEO Griff Lynch reported that the Port of Savannah recorded its second busiest August, behind 2022, with more than 490,000 twenty-foot equivalent container units – an 18.6% increase over 2023.
At the meeting, held on Jekyll Island, GPA board members approved infrastructure expansions at its Colonel’s Island facility in Brunswick, Georgia, including a 50-acre paved lot to accommodate between 8,000 to 10,000 automobiles at a time, according to Chief Communications Officer Tom Boyd, which translates to approximately 80,000 to 100,000 additional cars per year.
The majority of those cars come into Brunswick via ocean carriers from about two dozen brands, including Nissan and Subaru, but the export business is growing, said Lynch, as manufacturers across the South and Midwest, such as the Mercedes plant in Alabama, look to GPA’s inland connectivity and ocean carrier network.
The expanded infrastructure is another step toward fulfilling Lynch’s vision of Brunswick becoming the “premier” roll-on-roll-off (Ro/Ro) facility in the nation.
“We’re either going to be number one or number two for the year,” said Lynch via telephone after the board meeting. “I want to say that Baltimore has been traditionally the number one port. Over the years we’ve caught up and become number two. We’re not going to brag on that in any way, shape or form, because Baltimore obviously had the bridge [accident], which I’m sure hurt their volumes for the year. So, we’ll see how our fiscal year does, starting July 1. We’d like to think we’re closing the gap.”
The expansion news comes as the ports face two potential storms, one literal and one figurative. As a Tropical Storm Helene brews in the Gulf of Mexico with the potential to move across Georgia later this week, a potential work stoppage on Oct. 1 churns as negotiations between the International Longshoreman’s Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance have stalled.
Lynch said he is hopeful for a short-term resolution within one or two weeks to the ILA-USMA impasse. Anything beyond that timeframe can have rippling effects across the state and national economy. The last dockworkers strike occurred in October 1977 and lasted for 44 days. According to an article published online by the Marine Executive, cargo containers and Ro/Ro traffic will be the most impacted in today’s industry – a blow to both Savannah and Brunswick.
“The U.S. imports a lot more cargo that we did 40 or 50 years ago, and so, we’re heavily relying upon production of goods offshore that come into our country,” said Lynch, “and we’re relying upon exporting our products out of Georgia, like agricultural goods, cars, finished products.”
With harvest season ahead, Georgia’s farmers could take a hit if the strike lingers too long. GPA Board Chairman Kent Fountain explained that 80% of Georgia’s cotton crop is exported to other countries as is 20% of the state’s peanuts.
Lynch said, “The Georgia Ports Authority will continue to receive cargo right up to the last minute… Everybody’s doing a great job right now, and we greatly appreciate that. You wouldn’t know that this significant event was about to occur in the attitude that I’m seeing out there on our terminals.” As far as that other storm, Lynch said the heavy weather advisory group led by the U.S. Coast Guard and captain of the port, would convene later today and meet daily through the storm event. “We have a great team that knows how to work these situations and handle them.”
