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.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Savannah’s Landmark Historic District is coming off the National Park Service’s (NPS) ‘threatened list’ after six years.
From statues to cobblestone to buildings dating back to the revolutionary era, the district is well preserved by leaders and the community, especially as of late.
“It’s one of the great opportunities of the community,” said Michael Owens, CEO and president of the Tourism Leadership Council, “everyone jumping in to see what part they could do to improve where we were headed and safeguard one of the things Savannah is so proud of, and that’s that Landmark Historic District, and apparently it’s worked.”
The NPS is in agreement, taking the Historic District off its ‘threatened list’ just recently, according to Owens.
In 2018, the NPS placed the Historic District on the ‘threatened’ list after a third-party assessment.
Some of the reasons included the lack of ordinances protecting archeology and pavers and concerns about inappropriate development within the district.
According to Owens, the report was not perfect.
“It listed things like skyscrapers; we don’t have any, and traffic from an airport as something that threatened the Historic District,” he said, “so there were a lot of folks back in 2018 that thought there were a lot of flaws, fatal flaws within the report. I agree with some of those flaws. Some of it was a little bit ridiculous.”
Owens says despite those flaws, Savannah leaders and community members took the report as an opportunity to treat the Historic District with the utmost care and attention.
“Since then we passed an archeological ordinance, we protected the pavers, we’ve been incredibly careful about the development that happens here,” Owens said, “We created a hotel overlay that said exactly where we could see the development within the hotel sector. We’re going extend that now further south to Victory Dr.”
With the ‘threatened’ status removed, Owens tells News 3 that the Historic District is on the rise.
“Not only are we not in the threatened category anymore, I understand there’s some footprint to expand the Historic District, to expand the boundaries we have today, and there’s a movement to no longer tie our historic status exclusively to the Oglethorpe plan,” he explained, “and if you look around Savannah, there are so many more attributes than just the incredible Oglethorpe plan, but we should be able to appreciate and protect all of it.”
He said everyone’s investment is what makes the Historic District great.
“It’s vigilance on everyone’s part. That’s the great thing about this community is that everyone is invested in its future.”
News 3 reached out to the NPS about the Savannah Landmark Historic District’s status, and they told us in a statement it is not currently being evaluated:
“The National Park Service is currently evaluating the NHL condition monitoring program nationwide as part of its commitment to providing technical assistance in the form of helpful and constructive feedback to stewards of these nationally significant properties. As the NHL condition monitoring program undergoes this review, NPS is neither updating nor assigning condition categories to properties. As a result, NPS considers NHLs, including the Savannah NHL District, to be in no category during the program evaluation period.”

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — The possibility of a swimming pool with a capacity of more than 100 people — in the heart of Savannah’s Historic District — has been a controversial topic in one local neighborhood.
Members of the local neighborhood association say the pool on East Perry Street is slated for vacationers at short-term rental properties in Savannah.
Residents in the area say they are not happy with the plans.
Some say that they are even mounting a legal challenge against the construction.
The city has issued a stop work order on the project, but the property owner says he hasn’t yet been informed why.
President of the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Savannah, David McDonald, told me he believes property owner Walter Freeman misled the city about his intentions for the pool when he submitted the plans.
“The top two floors, he said at these hearings, and what the information was, that he was going to live in those as his primary residence and use the pool for his use,” McDonald said.
Freeman is the owner of Southern Belle Vacation Rentals.
Mcdonald said, that after Freeman received approval for the pool, he brought Southern Belle’s properties into the equation.
“After he gets the permits, the reality is, what he’s telling neighbors and advertising: it’s for his rentals,” McDonald said.
Residents are concerned a pool like that would change the character of the neighborhood.
While they do say tourism is important, they tell me this pool would tip the scales too much.
“Savannah is a historic place. It’s got a historic district. It’s charming, it’s beautiful. It’s what brings millions of people here to see it, and to ruin that, is just crazy,” Rick Roney, a resident who lives near the construction site said.
“There has to be a balance because tourism is important. It brings a lot of money into the town. But it has to be managed. It has to be enlightened tourism,” Roney said.
McDonald told me the pool could also pose a safety risk and cause excessive noise.
“They can have parties there all night, and with the to-go cup, you can have someone go next door to the bars, and you’ve got loud partying. You already have those problems downtown at STVRs,” he said.
“It won’t be long before somebody drowns.”
Mayor Van Johnson posted about the stop work order on social media, citing concerns about potential commercial use.
A City of Savannah Spokesperson said the city will continue to investigate the construction. But in the interim, no work is allowed on the property related to the permit.
Freeman says the city has not yet confirmed which ordinance was violated to warrant a stop work order.
Freeman says he believes the city will communicate their reasoning by Monday, but he declined to share further information until he speaks to them.

February 14, 2024 - Historic Savannah Foundation – a leading nonprofit cultural institution dedicated to saving the buildings, places and stories that define Savannah’s past, present and future – recently named Ellie Isaacs as the organization’s new Director of Preservation and Historic Properties.
Isaacs brings 10 years of preservation experience to her new position and is responsible for overseeing Historic Savannah Foundation’s acclaimed preservation initiatives, including the Preservation Easement Program and Revolving Fund, which raises private money to purchase endangered historic properties, sells them to preservation-minded buyers and repeats the cycle. She will lead the organization’s efforts to save and adaptively use historic buildings by working in partnership with the City of Savannah, Chatham County government, neighborhood associations, property owners and developers.
“Ellie embodies the spirit of Historic Savannah Foundation’s seven original female founders and carries their commitment to preservation forward in exciting ways,” said Sue Adler, President and CEO of the Historic Savannah Foundation. “We believe her passion, expertise and leadership will usher in a new era of historic preservation in Savannah.”
Prior to joining Historic Savannah Foundation, Isaacs served as a Partner at Landmark Preservation Consulting in Savannah, Ga. She also worked as a historic preservation specialist for an award-winning architecture firm in Savannah, Lominack Kolman Smith Architects, where she focused on research, preservation tax credit applications, conditions assessments and historic resource surveys. She meets the Professional Qualifications for Architectural History by the Secretary of the Interior.
Earlier in her career, Isaacs worked in Hot Springs, Ark. as a historic preservationist and designer for a local architecture firm, Taylor Kempkes Architects. Her most notable project involved co-designing and managing the state and federal preservation tax credit application process for The Waters Hotel, located in the 1913 Thompson Building designed by George Mann. The $7 million dollar project won the 2017 Preserve Arkansas Preservation Award for Excellence in Preservation through Rehabilitation in the commercial category. While completing this award-winning project, Isaacs broke barriers as the youngest commissioner on the Hot Springs Historic District Commission.
Isaacs previously served as the Chair of the Savannah Historic District Board of Review and was a board member for more than five years. She also served as a member of the Historic Savannah Foundation’s Architectural Review Committee for three years, reviewing projects prior to their submission to the Historic Preservation Commission.
Isaacs earned a B.F.A. in Historic Preservation with minors in Architectural History and Interior Design from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). During her time as a student at SCAD, Isaacs was notably the only historic preservation undergraduate student to present at the 2014 National Trust for Historic Preservation’s PastForward Conference in Savannah. She also served as a student intern for the Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission and co-authored a National Register District Nomination for Carver Village. Isaacs was also a summer intern for Historic Savannah Foundation, completing easement inspections two years in a row.
Dedicated to giving back to the community, Isaacs was the 2023 alumni mentor for Preservation Design students at SCAD and previously served as a Historic Savannah Foundation volunteer.
