A-Line 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.

Empire Waist

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.

Drop Waist

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.

Fit & Flare Dresses in Historic Savannah

Time to start doing your happy dance! Fit & flare dresses have very balanced proportions, making them a true winner for every body type.

Shift Dresses in Historic Savannah

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 in Historic Savannah

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.

How to Find the Right Fit for Your Women's Top

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.

When you come to Savannah, Georgia, plan on staying a while. From the oldest Black church in North America to historic squares shaded by oak trees dripping with Spanish moss, there's so much to explore.

Going green

Savannah's parks and squares are the stars of the city. Visitors and locals alike enjoy these green open spaces, and there are dozens to traverse. At 33 acres, Forsyth Park is the largest park in Savannah. Known for its landmark Forsyth Fountain (dyed green on St. Patrick's Day), it also draws crowds for live music performances, a weekly Farmers Market and the Forsyth Park Fragrant Garden.

Visiting the dearly departed

Things can get spooky in Savannah. It has a reputation for being one of the most haunted cities in the United States, and no itinerary is complete without a stop at the Bonaventure Cemetery, established in 1846. Ornate gravestones and statues fill the grounds, which can be explored during free guided tours on the second weekend of the month.

Black life across the centuries

Savannah is an epicenter of Black history and culture. This is, after all, a majority-Black city. There are guided tours, like Footprints of Savannah and the 40 Acres and a Mule Tour, that showcase Black landmarks and areas of interest. Footprints of Savannah focuses on urban slavery and the cotton trade, with a visit to a former slave market that became a freedmen's school. The 40 Acres and a Mule tour stops at six public squares, where you'll learn "the intertwined history of Savannah's promotion of slavery and the rise of the Black church."

RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU...

If you would rather embark on your own exploration, make sure it includes a visit to the First African Baptist Church. Organized in 1773, it is the oldest Black church in North America and still has an original baptismal font, pews and light fixtures. Tours are offered Monday through Saturday.

A city of museums

You could stay in Savannah for weeks and still only scratch the surface of its museum scene. There's the Telfair Academy, featuring 19th- and 20th-century American and European art and the famed "Bird Girl" statue, made famous by its appearance on the cover of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil." The Savannah African Art Museum has over 1,000 objects from West and Central Africa, representing more than 180 cultures and ethnic groups, and the Ralph Mark Gilbert Civil Rights Museum tells the story of the Savannah chapter of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) during the 1940s through '60s. The Andrew Low House Museum is a step across the centuries, with 19th-century furnishings, art and household items on display, and has a connection to Girl Scouts. The Girl Scouts' founder, Juliette Gordon Low, lived there while she launched the organization.

A taste of the coastal Deep South

A Savannah staple inside a graceful 1900 mansion that is known for its coastal cuisine and top-notch service, Elizabeth on 37th draws a crowd thanks to its good food and ambiance. There is one seven-course chef's tasting menu, which changes based on the season but always includes fresh seafood like James River oysters and local blue crab cakes. Fodor's recommends asking for wine pairing recommendations, as "the wine cellar is massive and the staff is knowledgable."

At The Grey, executive chef Mashama Bailey, the first Black woman to win the James Beard Award for outstanding chef, serves "food with a refreshingly broad worldview," Travel + Leisure's Brad Japhe wrote. Bailey's focus is on "infusing Southern soul with African influences," and the menu is flexible and changes based on the availability of local ingredients. Recent offerings included rabbit mortadella with pickled daikon; salted fish croquettes with paprika and lemon aioli; sweet potato with coconut collards, apple and pomegranate molasses; and okra with peanuts and a ground nut sauce. The space, a beautifully restored 1938 Art Deco Greyhound bus terminal, is central to The Grey's allure.

You'll want to anchor an evening around dinner at Good Times Jazz Bar and Restaurant. Owner Stephen T. Moore opened the space due to a love of "good food, good wine and good music," and there's live jazz Thursday through Sunday nights and a Sunday Gospel Brunch. For dinner, start with the fried green tomato salad and follow it with the Southern pan-fried catfish or sauteed crab cakes (be sure to add a side of Savannah red rice). There's a live music calendar on the Good Times website, so you can check in advance to see who is playing.

Wear comfortable shoes to Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room. There's always a line, and if you want to be among the day's first diners, definitely plan to get there early. Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room serves Southern comfort food at its finest, from fried chicken to black-eyed peas to sweet potato souffle. This is a communal dining experience, with strangers sitting next to each other at spacious tables for 10. Note: The restaurant takes a winter break, so ensure it is open before heading over.

Spending the night in Savannah

The Hamilton-Turner Inn in Savannah's Historic District was built as a private home in 1873, and today is a luxe bed and breakfast with 17 guest rooms and a three-bedroom carriage house. There are elegant touches throughout, including brocade wallpaper, crystal chandeliers, clawfoot tubs and antique four-poster beds. A chef-prepared breakfast is served every morning in the dining room, and in the evening guests can gather in the parlor for complimentary wine and hors d'oeuvres.

Although it is located inside a 19th century building, The Drayton Hotel is thoroughly modern, with a bright lobby and bustling rooftop bar. The 50 rooms and suites have views of the Historic District, Savannah River and City Hall and were designed with total comfort in mind, from the fine linens to the quilted bathrobes. Music lovers will want to check out The Vinyl Room, the hotel's "music listening room and intimate cocktail lounge" where visitors can sip whiskey while enjoying their favorite record.

The Savannah of years past conjures up images of high society and tradition, with grand homes and dramatic oak trees like those featured in the famous book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.

But these days, it’s a welcoming and eclectic place where you’ll find locals, art students and visitors all enjoying the same spaces. The city draws in history lovers to admire the carefully preserved historic homes and museums, and foodies for the restaurant scene influenced by a wide variety of cultures. It’s easy to get around and relatively safe, making it a popular escape for many travelers.

Here’s what you need to know about the Hostess City before you go.

Explore the planet's most surprising adventures with our weekly newsletter delivered to your inbox.

1. Spend at least three days in Savannah

If it’s your first time visiting, you’ll need to spend at least three days in Savannah to even scratch the surface. Most travelers choose the weekend, arriving mid-day on Friday. This is a great time to get your bearings and explore without an agenda. Saturday is when you’ll see most of the attractions and museums. Don’t expect many places to be open on Sunday until late, so get one last meal in before hitting the road.

If you have longer to spend in Savannah, plan on exploring beyond the historic district – spend some time in the Starland District, Tybee Island and the Isle of Hope.

2. Use rideshare apps from the airport to maximize time

If you’re arriving by plane, it will be at Savannah/Hilton-Head International Airport, which serves the coastal areas in both Georgia and South Carolina. Depending on what time you land, it should take anywhere from 20-40 minutes to get to the heart of downtown, varying wildly based on traffic.

Rideshare companies are available, including Lyft and Uber. You can pick them up from the north entrance of baggage claim. Taxis can also be hailed from outside of the airport.

The city’s local bus system, Chatham Area Transit or CAT, also stops at the airport on the West Chatham Route 3. It’s not the fastest option, but definitely the cheapest, with rates starting at $1.50 per ride.

3. You probably don’t need a car to get around Savannah

Just about every car rental company has a presence in Savannah, but for the most part, you won’t need your own vehicle to get around the city. Savannah’s historic district is walkable, with most destinations no more than a 15-20 minute stroll through the tree-lined squares. Having a car can be a hassle, especially when it comes to finding metered parking spots or decks.

The DOT bus is a free shuttle that visits all of the city’s top landmarks, including the Downtown Loop from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to the Eastern Wharf and the Forsyth Loop, which goes from Johnson Square to Victory Drive. The Savannah Belles ferry is also free, with a triangular route to the Westin hotel across the river, City Hall Landing at the eastern side of River Street, and the Waving Girl statue on the east side of River Street. If you want to go further, the Token Transit app is an easy way to purchase a ticket in advance. All you have to do is show it to the driver when you board.

The only exception is if you want to visit Tybee Island and the outer areas of the city. In that case, renting a car for a day might be prudent as it can take around 25 minutes to get there, and the island is big enough that you’ll want a way to get around. Just keep in mind that in many places, including the beach access points, you’ll have to pay to park.

4. Reservations are essential for the best restaurants

There are plenty of great restaurants in Savannah, including award-winners from celebrity chefs, but you’ll need to plan ahead if you want to go – especially during high season and events like St. Patrick’s Day or SCAD graduation.

The Grey, Husk and Common Thread are among the most sought-after tables that you can book in advance online. There’s also greater availability at more casual restaurants, which you can make a reservation for if you’re traveling with a group. Alternatively, go during happy hour or sit at the bar.

5. Yes, you can walk around Savannah with alcohol (with exceptions)

Visitors to Savannah tend to be surprised that the city’s alcohol laws that allow you to legally take your drink with you, but there are exceptions to this rule. First and foremost, the drinking age in the United States is 21, which is absolutely enforced in Savannah. You must have a legal ID that is up-to-date, including a driver’s license or passport.

The open container policy applies to the historic district, from River Street to Jones Street. You can only carry a drink in a plastic 16-ounce cup or can, so ask for a “go cup” from a bar. You can only have one drink at a time, and you can’t have a drink in a motor vehicle. If you don’t follow the rules, you may get arrested!

6. The best neighborhood to stay in depends on what you’re interested in

River Street and the historic district are the most popular places to stay, especially for first-time visitors. There’s been a recent hotel boom, including the openings of the JW Marriott Plant Riverside District and the Thompson Savannah. But things can get rowdy on weekends and the incoming ships sound their horns at all hours – if sleep is what you’re after, you might want to look elsewhere.

The Ellis Square and Madison Square areas are a nice alternative because you can still walk to River Street, as well as the most beautiful areas in Savannah. The DeSoto Hotel and the Andaz Savannah are well-located with great amenities.

7. Pack light layers to handle the heat

While you might expect Savannah to be a very dressy city, most places you go will actually be casual. The only dress codes are in fine dining restaurants, but otherwise, comfort is key. Light colors and layers are best, especially during the summer months when the humidity is in full force.

Comfortable shoes are also important, especially if you’re walking all over town. Bringing a hand fan can help you cool off if you’re waiting in line to get into restaurants like Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House or just relaxing in one of the squares.

8. Savannah is a safe city

For the most part, Savannah is safer than other major cities. According to the latest crime statistics, the majority of crimes are car break-ins and petty theft. With that said, use common sense as you would anywhere else.

Walking alone at night is usually fine, but if you’re feeling nervous, opt for a taxi or pedicab. Drink responsibly and watch where you walk, especially on River Street, where the uneven bricks make it easy to trip. During the day, drink plenty of water to avoid overheating.

Savannah's Historic District Board of Review heard plans for a downtown Ritz Carlton last week.

The plan at hand for the HDBR last Wednesday would turn two buildings on East Bryan Street into a mixed-use Ritz Carlton. The plans call for just over 100 hotel rooms and about 20 residences at two of the tallest buildings in downtown Savannah.

The plan had unanimous approval from the board members, with multiple appointees expressing excitement with the residential and dining elements of the plan.

"I am very happy to hear about the restoration of the historic building itself," said Nan Taylor, a member of the board.

The Ritz will connect two buildings: 2 E. Bryan St. and 14 E. Bryan St. The 108-year-old, 15-story, stone-faced building at 2 E. Bryan St., is a contributing resource in the Historic District, formerly known as the Savannah Bank and Trust.

Ritz Carlton plans, tennis court update:Here's what happened in Savannah government last week

The proposed plan requires approval for updates to the buildings. A key update is a three-story height addition to 14 E. Bryan St., which would extend its height from 10 to 13 stories. The additions would incorporate residential units and a commercial kitchen to serve the pool deck.

Also key to the building on 14 E. Bryan are plans to add dining options on the ground floor, which would open up access on Johnson Square. Mc+G Architecture, which specializes in historic preservation and hospitality design, is leading the project. Jennifer McConney, principal of Mc+G Architecture, said at the meeting there were considerations of demolition, but the group ultimately chose to preserve and update the location.

"It's still a very important part of Savannah's urban fabric," McConney said.

Ryan Jarles, head of preservation for Historic Savannah Foundation, said he was excited to see the building on 14 E. Bryan put to use. Historic Savannah Foundation endorsed the plans.

"We are excited to see the project move forward," Jarles said.
