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 Garner, 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.

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.

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.

GARNER, N.C. — For Garner and Southeast it was just your typical fall Friday night. For any other two teams, it would be an epic playoff tilt that will be remembered for years.
Garner edged its longtime nearby and Greater Neuse River 4A Conference rival, 14-13, in the opening round of the N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A football playoffs at Trojan Stadium.
The Trojans (8-3) held the true-to-their-name Bulldogs on a game-winning two-point conversion attempt in the final minute, then broke up three consecutive passes after Southeast recovered an onside kick, to wrap up their first playoff win since 2019 and a second-round date with second-seeded Cardinal Gibbons next week.
Southeast led 7-0 at the half with Garner’s only two drives of the first half both ending inside of the Bulldog 10-yard-line with no points. But on their second drive of the second half, the Trojans finally broke through.
Senior tailback Devyn Grant missed most of the second quarter after leaving the game injured but returned to churn the Trojans into scoring position with five runs sandwiched between two Christian Ormandy passes to get the egg off of the Garner side of the scoreboard.
On fourth down at the Southeast 7-yard-line, Ormandy oversaw a full house backfield featuring Grant but it was just a diversion for Garner’s actual intent: a play action pass from Ormandy to a wide open Bennett Selvage for a touchdown with 3:31 to play in the third quarter.
Southeast, which used a formation featuring 6-foot-4, 285-pound freshman lineman Grayson Williams lined up as extra blocker in the backfield throughout the contest, worked its way back into Garner territory. But on fourth-and-4 from the 27-yard-line, Cameron Quillet intercepted a pass.
The ensuing game-winning drive saw the Trojans churn down the field on a 15-play drive that took nearly seven minutes off of the clock, mixing timely passing from Ormandy and gritty runs from Grant. Garner went ahead 13-7 on a 9-yard run by Grant out of the wildcat formation. Thomas Stucker’s extra point put the Trojans up seven with 5:16 to play.
Ormandy was efficient on the night, going 17-for-20 passing for 152 yards. He connected with six different receivers on the night. Grant finished with 136 yards on 18 carries.
Southeast, which was looking for its first win in Garner since 2015 and fell 19-14 to the Trojans during the regular season, wasn’t finished. The Bulldogs relied on James Adams’ pounding runs behind Williams and the rest of the Bulldog offensive line to work the ball inside of the Garner 10-yard-line with less than a minute to play. Adams accounted for 62 yards rushing on the drive (of his team-high 103 on the night), setting up a 6-yard TD run around the left side by Damonte Garner to get Southeast within 14-13 with 32.3 seconds to play.
Southeast (7-4) elected to go for the win and went back to Adams on a power run again, but the Trojans’ defensive front stacked up the pile, stopping the conversion attempt and persevering a one-point lead.
The Bulldogs covered the onside kick, but couldn’t advance the ball any further with four consecutive incomplete passes — the first three broken up by the Garner secondary and the fourth falling incomplete under pressure.
The first half nearly ended scoreless before Southeast ended the stalemate on a scramble and heave from junior quarterback Ty Powell with 13.3 seconds left in the first half. Powell avoided the Trojan pass rush, was flushed to his right and sent the ball toward the right front pylon of the end zone. It hit sophomore receiver Adam Saunders, running across the front of the end zone, in stride for the score.
Both teams missed short field goals (Garner from 25 yards and Southeast from 27 yards) in the first half. The Trojans had the ball just twice in the opening half and had a pair of long drives, from inside of their own 20-yard-line inside of the Southeast 10-yard-line. But both drives ended at the 8-yard line, the second on a fumble which led to the Bulldogs’ 13-play scoring drive.
