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.

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 Michaels Organization, working in partnership with One80 Place and Spandrel Development Partners, is set to transform a vacant lot in downtown Charleston into much-needed permanent, affordable housing exclusively serving homeless individuals and families, after successfully achieving a financial closing for 573 Meeting Street.
The development is the result of a collaborative effort between Michaels, the nation’s largest private-sector owner of affordable housing, Spandrel, a multi-disciplined real estate development firm, and One80 Place, one of the largest providers of services to people moving out of homelessness in South Carolina.
“We are thrilled to reach this milestone for 573 Meeting Street and we are grateful for the support of the city, the state, and all our partners,” said Bruce Morgan, Senior Vice President of Development at The Michaels Organization. “This development exemplifies what the public, private, and non-profit sectors can accomplish when working together to create high-quality, service-enhanced affordable housing solutions that enhance communities and lift lives.”
The planned development will maximize a vacant parcel within One80 Place’s homeless and supportive services campus in one of historic Charleston’s most dynamic neighborhoods. The six-story, mixed-use development will be a permanent home for 70 formerly homeless individuals, and the second floor will be a new family shelter for 65 women and parents with their children.
“We believe that our community’s most vulnerable neighbors deserve the best of what Charleston has to offer. Housing built specifically to support people moving out of homelessness is critical to ending homelessness, once and for all,” said Stacey Denaux, One80 Place’s CEO. “The impact of this project will be profound and long-lasting.”
Spandrel Development’s Co-founder, Emanuel D. Neuman said: “After seven years of planning, we are very excited to see this development now poised to start construction and to make One80 Place’s vision for this transformative community a reality.” Sprandel has developed several communities in Charleston, including two on Meeting Street.
At 573 Meeting Street, One80 Place will offer comprehensive supportive services to the residents including case management, healthcare, tenancy support, and legal services. Residents will earn no more than 50% of HUD area median income (AMI) and spend no more than 30% of their income on rent.
Financing for the $44 million development was made possible through 4% low-income housing tax credits, tax-exempt bonds allocated by the South Carolina State Housing Finance and Development Authority, funding from the City of Charleston through the Charleston Redevelopment Corporation, the CLIMB fund, Charleston County, South Carolina Housing Trust Fund and generous private donations to One80 Place. The City of Charleston Housing Authority has committed project-based rental assistance for all 70 rental units, ensuring long-term affordability for residents.
Development team partners include LS3P as the architect and Choate Construction as the General Contractor. Berkadia and Monarch invested in the federal and state tax credits with TD Bank providing the construction loan and Berkadia/Freddie Mac providing the permanent mortgage loan. Michaels will provide property and investment management services, ensuring the community remains a long-term asset to the neighborhood.
Michaels is a national leader in residential real estate, offering full-service capabilities in development, property and asset management, construction, and investment. Serving more than 200,000 residents in more than 600 communities across 39 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Michaels is committed to crafting housing solutions that jumpstart education, civic engagement and neighborhood prosperity, and to creating Communities That Lift Lives.
