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.

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.

The threat of a tornado in Wake County has “come to an end,” according to the National Weather Service.
However, a new tornado watch — which means there are favorable conditions for one to form — will be issued for most of central North Carolina until 8 p.m., said Tom Green, a meteorologist at NWS.
This watch will impact several counties, including Wake, Orange, Durham, Johnston, and Moore Counties. The full list of impacted counties can be found here.
Green said there may be additional tornado warnings — which indicates that the tornado has been confirmed on their radar.
NWS issued a tornado warning for parts of Wake and Johnston County on Sunday afternoon that ended at 1:30 p.m.
WRAL reported that a tornado touched down in Garner, citing sources at the State Highway Patrol. A spokesperson for the NWS said they saw some possible debris in the air and reports of damage in Garner but said it was unclear whether that was due to wind gusts or a tornado.
Griffin Stanley, who lives on Buckhorn Road in Garner, was playing video games on a calm, gloomy Sunday when he noticed that the rain had started falling sideways.
He looked out the window at his yard and saw a branch crush his grill. With his three dogs -- two Australian Shepherds and a Chihuahua mix -- he ran to the pantry for shelter.
“As soon as I closed the door, I heard bangs,” he told the News & Observer. “I barely got into the pantry in time.”
A branch broke through his laundry room, he said. But within a few hours, more than a dozen people from the neighborhood and his mother’s church, Holland’s Church, had gathered at his house to help clean up.
Steve Dezern, who lives down the street from Stanley, had branches and tree limbs littered around his yard and through his roof Sunday afternoon. He said he hadn’t seen this many branches down since Hurricane Fran.
“I was going to mow tomorrow,” he told the News & Observer. “I figured that was pretty much off the table.”
This is a breaking news story and will be updated throughout the day with more information.

GARNER, N.C. (WTVD) -- Cleanup efforts in Garner continued on Monday, a day after a powerful, EF-1 tornado touched down in the Woodlands community.
The storm downed trees, leaving a trail of debris, and damaging dozens of homes. ABC11 Eyewitness News reconnected with some homeowners still hard at work 24 hours after the storm, who expressed gratitude for the immediate action taken by community members and neighbors.
"It was so hard to comprehend, but at the same time it was like there was a feeling of relief because as soon as I came outside, there were people on the street asking me if I was OK and offering help. Like, not even 30 seconds after the tornado occurred," said Griffin Stanley, whose home and car were damaged by a massive downed tree on his property.
Stanley is one of the countless homeowners dealing with the fallout from the storm. Still, he's grateful things aren't worse -- for his neighbors who have helped along the way.
"The community in Garner is like no other," Stanley said. "They've always been bound together. And this is just another -- this is just more proof of that."
One day later, progress is being made. Town officials say all roads are back open Monday, damaged traffic lights are back up and running -- and power outages have been mostly resolved. Most importantly, no injuries or deaths have been reported. Across the street from Griffin, Pablo Sanchez and his wife are thankful the fallout wasn't worse. Their home was mostly spared but their backyard is a mess, and their shed was destroyed.
"We were honestly really grateful," Sanchez said. "Like, what's in there -- our bikes, a lawnmower? Like everything's replaceable. We're just very grateful that nothing happened to the house or us."
Pablo said he knows there's still much to be done.
"People were working until like 10 p.m., then this morning really early," he said. "The city came in, they were picking up debris and stuff so I think it's going to be like that, like all week or something."
Other community members are trying to help with that. Brian Edwards has lived in Garner for 10 years and is the Store Manager of Lowe's on U.S. 70, just a couple miles from where the tornado touched down.
"We found a bunch of homeowners out just trying to get things cleared up. So we immediately went back to the store and started donating everything we could to get them some help," Edwards said.
In total, Edwards donated thousands of dollars in chainsaws, chains, fuel, rakes and more. He says the all-hands effort to get the neighborhood back upright after the storm is what living in Garner is all about.
"No matter what's going on in the world, when something bad like this happens, people get together and they start doing the right thing to make sure that everyone's taken care of," Edwards said. "And they did it here without us. They were working hard and putting in the effort and we just wanted to do the little part that we could."

GARNER, N.C. (WTVD) -- There was a lot on the line Friday night as Clayton High School traveled to Garner High School.
Both teams entered the game at 3-1 on a wet, sloppy evening.
Garner was looking for some payback after last year's 49-0 loss to the Comets but Clayton started off quickly and never looked back in a 29-2 victory.
The game was marred by a serious injury late in the fourth quarter that led to the game being called with 3:17 to play.
Garner defensive tackle Breon Thompson went down with head and neck pain. An ambulance was called and Thompson left Trojan Stadium on a stretcher.
The good news -- a Garner official told ABC11 that Thompson was alert and moving his extremities.
The Comets struck first. On just the second play of the game, Clayton quarterback Johnathan Montague broke free for the first score of the game.
In the second quarter, Clayton running back Ny'Quavious Armston took it 47 yards to the end zone to give the Comets a 14-0 lead, and they never trailed in improving to 4-1.
Because of the inclement weather from the approach of Tropical Storm Ophelia, kickoff time was moved to 6 p.m.
It wasn't the only game to be time-shifted because of the expected bad weather.
Cary High School's home matchup against Apex High was also moved up to a 6 p.m. kickoff.
Boosters and staffers set up tents as part of extra measures for the rain.
Wake County Schools said that typically if severe weather happens during the action, the game is delayed until the threat passes.
"It's a collective decision," said Ryan Rodgers, Cary High's athletic director. "Ultimately, the officials are responsible for the contest itself, but both teams, both coaches both ADs, and the officials as well as the athletic trainers will get on board, and we'll make a decision that you know, as long as the safety is OK for the students participating in the game, as long as you know where we're all good to go, we'll finish it out."
The rain didn't seem to bother most.
"The whole part of the game is playing in the rain. It's a whole different aspect," said John Higdon, whose son plays for Cary.
Chip Pope was another parent who watched the game and got drenched.
"Our daughter is a cheerleader over there and they are out here in the rain and we thought we could come out for a little while and try it too and see how the rain holds up," said Pope.
Apex knocked off Cary in a tight one, 10-7.

For Zaire Garner, entering NC State University as a first-year student was a big transition, but nothing he couldn’t handle.
Garner is used to hard work. Prior to this year, he was a senior at South Lenoir High School, plus he took college courses and graduated with his associate’s degree in science. He also worked as an apprentice machinist through a program led by Crown Equipment and Lenoir County Public Schools.
Garner was a mill operator, responsible for running the machines efficiently and effectively. “My job basically consisted of placing raw material into fixtures for the machine to mill, changing tool inserts and changing the fixtures after completing an order of parts,” he said.
Over the course of his time at Crown Equipment, Garner learned how to load and unload parts into different machines, how to operate those machines and how to work with a drill press.
“I believe applying for the apprenticeship was one of the best decisions I could’ve made,” he said. “Over the last year, I’ve been able to learn so much about machining, manufacturing and engineering, all while gaining real-world experience within the workforce. I am very thankful to have gotten the chance to work with such an amazing group of coworkers who treated me like I had been there just as long as them.”
Looking at colleges, Garner knew he wanted to stick with engineering. He applied to NC State, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan and got into all four schools.
Winning the Goodnight Scholarship was an important factor in his decision to attend NC State. The scholarship program, which was founded in 2008, provides full-tuition scholarships and comprehensive student development programs. Through the scholarship, Garner has a full ride to major in mechanical engineering.
“It’s a program that has a lot to offer,” he said. “There’s a mentorship involved. There’s a lot of community service. I think it’ll be a really great way to kind of get my face out there and make a lot of great connections while I’m at NC State.”
But staying close to his family, who live in Deep Run, North Carolina, was most important.
“Initially, I wanted to get away,” Garner said. “But as time kind of went on, I realized that I wasn’t as ready as I thought I was to leave my family behind, so I think everything came together the way it was supposed to. It made sense after the scholarship that NC State was the best choice for me.”
Still, Raleigh is a whole new city for Garner, and he’s excited to explore.
I’m really looking forward to getting involved in a whole bunch of new things and meeting a whole bunch of new people. I think that’s what I’m looking forward to the most.
There’s a lot already on Garner’s plate, but he continues to be mindful of his own mental health as well as his studies.
“If I ever feel stressed out, I stop everything I’m doing and take time out for myself and do some of the things I enjoy,” he said.
“As far as the things I do to combat stress, it all depends on the day. However, I think one of the things I lean toward the most is being active. For me, it’s always been a way to ease my mind and it also doubles as a form of personal progress. Whether it be going to the gym for a workout, or getting outside to practice skating, or any other form of physical activity that gets me sweating, being active has always been one the most effective ways I relieve stress.
“If I ever feel hopeless though, I always go to my mom. She’s always been there to give me great advice, and even when she feels like she has none to give, her reassurance has always been enough.”
Otherwise, he said, “I really have to buckle down and continue to work on prioritizing what’s most important. I think I do a great job of doing that now, but I think being on my own and having to do that makes it a lot harder. I’m just working on keeping all my ducks in a row, being on top of things as much as I can.”
