We offer several styles and shapes from which you can pick. Not sure what style fits best?
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.

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.

MAULDIN, S.C. (WSPA) – A baby opossum was caught walking across an ice cooler in the bar section of an Upstate restaurant.
A restaurant-goer said she caught the baby opossum on video about two weeks ago at Azecta Mexican Restaurant in Mauldin.
She said she goes to the restaurant often and has never seen anything like this.
When the opossum was brought to management’s attention, she said they “acted like it was normal.”
A 7NEWS crew went to the restaurant Friday morning and talked to a manager.
The manager said the opossum walked in through the door and they managed to get it out the same day.
“If you see them solo I always recommend observing before touching, I don’t recommend handling animals unless you have been trained to do so,” Stephanie Hoffer, owner of Precision Pest And Wildlife Removal, said.
Azteca said they have been at the same location for 24 years and said they have never had an animal accidentally get inside.
Wildlife removal experts, said opossum’s can get into unwanted spaces fairly easily.
Once you get an animal out of a space like that protect it so they can’t get in again, but yes it is far more common than people realize,” Hoffer said.
Hoffer said the creature with 50 teeth is also scared of you. While they are not extremely dangerous, she said you definitely don’t want them around.
“Of course they carry fleas and ticks which can be harmful to us,” Hoffer said. “But in general as far as a rabies vector they can get rabies but it is a very low percentage of possums that do.”
Experts said opossums are pretty common in the Upstate.
“It is not uncommon to run across them this time of year. You are starting to see the juveniles,” Hoffer said. “You may even see a mother opossum covered up in babies because they do carry them. They are the only marsupial in North America. They are unique but it is pretty common to see them in the Spring time.”
The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Services received a complaint about the opossum on Thursday and they are investigating.
DHEC said they are still reviewing the circumstances surrounding how the opossum got inside the restaurant. They said “This is a “core” violation, defined as the least likely to cause a food borne illness.” They said they will be conducting inspections in the coming days.
According to DHEC “If you observe a pet or non-service animal you should report it to the manager or the person in charge of food safety for that establishment. It is up to the establishment’s operator to address the situation while it is occurring.”

MAULDIN, S.C. —
The owners of a barbecue family restaurant in Mauldin say serving their food is a way to honor their culture.
Father-son duo John Willy and James Hester run the Wholy Smoke Family Restaurant off West Butler Road, which, they said, is a source of pride for them.
The Hesters serve up Texas barbecue, something John picked up from his father-in-law.
"He dug a hole in the ground and built a fire, set the rack in there and put tin over it and put dirt right under it, and he could almost time it when it was ready," John Willy Hester said.
On the Hesters' menu are the classics, such as brisket, ribs and collard greens.
"The success of our business is not necessarily because we have the best food in the world, which we feel like we do, but I'll tell people you can taste the love," James Hester said.
The Hesters said food is one way people of different cultures can relate to one another.

"It's very much an expression of who you are," James said. "How the plate looks, how it tastes."
However, they also said it's a way to talk things out.
"Whenever Jesus got ready to make any major move in the early church, he got them together, sat down and broke bread with them," John Willy said.
As Black History Month moves forward, John Willy, who also works as a pastor, had one more sermon to serve.
"It just should not be looked at as a national time of celebration, but it ought to be a personal time, where you get your own family together and make history," he said.

Four new tenants will join the mix at Mauldin’s soon-to-open BridgeWay Station.
Lili + Koko Boutique + Bubbles, Jerimiah’s Italian Ice, Lucille’s Music and Comedy Venue, and Mercato by Dine Development Group will be the latest businesses at the Mauldin development, according to a news release from developer Hughes Investments Inc.
Lili + Koko Boutique + Bubbles will occupy about 1,800 square feet of ground floor retail space on BridgeWay Boulevard. LiLi + KoKo began in March of 2021 with the mission from co-founders Lisa Suter and Courtney Thompson to offer on-trend styles that are affordable for women at any life stage.
As they transition to their new location, Suter and Thompson are set to introduce Lili + Koko Boutique + Bubbles, offering a space for women to gather with their friends, while also providing them the opportunity to empower themselves and their community, the release stated. Patrons have access to a champagne bar, rtisanal charcuterie boards desserts as they browse, sip and shop, the release said.
“LiLi + KoKo offers quality clothing and accessories that are accessible no matter our customers’ age or size, are easy to mix and match, and allow our customers to look and feel their best,” Suter said in the release. “With our move to BridgeWay Station, we will continue to provide the same great clothing and accessories we have since our inception, while also providing an in-store shopping experience that feeds the senses. We are so excited to be a part of BridgeWay Station and are looking forward to serving the Mauldin and surrounding communities.”
Jeremiah’s Italian Ice will feature Italian Ice, ice cream and gelato. Jeremiah’s has more than 100 locations open across the United States. The 800 square feet in BridgeWay Station will be the franchise’s seventh location in South Carolina, and franchise owners Myrol and LaKesha Frazier’s second location. Their first store is at 2 Ketron Court near Woodruff Road in Greenville, the release said.
Jeremiah’s will serve a variety of flavors, including sugar-free options and seasonal flavors. In addition, they will offer catering services and special “pup-cups” for canine companions.
“We are so excited to have the opportunity to expand into a second location in this area and contribute to the growth of this community,” LaKesha Frazier said in the release. “Our new location will also be designed as a welcoming family-oriented destination, where families, friends and the community can come together to savor truly delicious treats.”
Lucille’s Music and Comedy Venue by MAS Ventures and Boulevard Consulting Group will allow customers to experience entertainment at this “cutting-edge” venue that occupies 3,160 square feet of retail space with a patio, the release said.
Boulevard Consulting Group is a development and strategic planning firm renowned for their expertise in site selection, demographic analysis, brand development, and real estate development. The group owns and operates franchises such as Denny’s, Starbucks and The Juicy Crab across seven states. Following the success of Blues Boulevard Jazz venue in Spartanburg, Boulevard Consulting Group expanded to downtown Greenville in 2013. A new location in Atlanta is underway.
The venue will feature tapas, entrées and specialty drinks.
Mercato by Dine Development Group will occupy 2,500 square feet on the corner of BridgeWay Boulevard and Via Corso Avenue (Main Street). This will be Dine Development’s fourth retail space at BridgeWay Station, complementing its other new enterprises, City Market at BridgeWay Station, Restaurant Rocco, and The Plank.
Mercato will serve breakfast and lunch bagels and sandwiches with a grab-and-go selection of prepared foods, breads, specialty drinks and more. A full-service coffee bar with Methodical Coffee, hand scooped ice cream, and boba tea will complete the space. There will be a large selection of healthy specialty drinks as well, from protein drinks to many varieties of nutritional beverages, the release said.
“We are very pleased to extend a warm welcome to these four exceptional retailers to BridgeWay Station,” Phil Hughes, president and founder of Hughes Investments Inc., said in the release. “Jeremiah’s Italian Ice is not only delicious, but perfectly complements our Italian-inspired development. Lili + Koko’s innovative concept of integrating a champagne bar with their boutique is both creative and enjoyable, aligning perfectly with the ethos we embrace at BridgeWay. I’ve also had the pleasure of working with Mark Sullivan [of Boulevard Consulting Group] on another site downtown, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with him again in this community. And finally, working alongside people as passionate as Thomas and Angie [with Dine Development Group] has been a true pleasure. Their dedication to their work and this particular project is highly motivating, and we are confident that they will bring something truly special to the table with this new coffee and deli space.”
These new tenants will occupy the spaces previously reserved by others who, due to market and industry challenges, are unable to pursue new ventures. Dine Development Group will take over the space formerly leased to Cohesive Coffee, while Jeremiah’s Italian Ice will occupy the area previously leased to Yogi’s Cups and Cones. Belladina’s Italian Market, an earlier announcement, will no longer be a part of BridgeWay Station. The remaining 6,000 square feet of space originally leased to Belladina’s Italian Market represents the last available retail space for lease, the release said.
“The profound — and ongoing — impact of COVID on both the construction sector and retail/restaurant industries has presented substantial challenges,” said Hughes. “We are appreciative of the changes these challenges have brought about in terms of our tenant mix. BridgeWay is poised to offer a diverse range of tenants that cater to a multitude of desires and needs, all in a convenient and beautiful location close to home.”
Retail tenants open at BridgeWay Station include Le Chic Nails Lounge, The Junkyard, Plum: A Lifestyle Boutique, and The Worx at BridgeWay Station. BridgeWay Brewery and City Market at BridgeWay Station will open by December and January, respectively. Additional tenants actively upfitting their individual spaces include El Guapo, Cocobowlz, Old Europe Desserts, Stella’s Restaurant Group, Rocco and The Plank by Dine Development Group, and Table 301. These retailers will be incorporated into the project alongside previously announced office and institutional users, including Dodge Bearings and Power Transmission; GREEN Charter Upstate High School; Jackson Marketing, Motorsports & Events; and Spectrum.
Lili + Koko Boutique + Bubbles, Jeremiah’s Italian Ice, Lucille’s, and Mercato are all slated to open in early spring.
BridgeWay Station will celebrate the holidays at its first public event in the 24,691-square-foot piazza and pavilion public space with a “Christmas at BridgeWay” event from 3-8 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 8. BridgeWay Station’s ribbon cutting is slated for spring.
