We have a huge selection of women's dresses in Morrisville, NC, from stylistic sheath dresses to drop-waist styles that will make your girlfriends jealous.
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.
SHOP NOWOnce you know the kind of waist that fits your body type, it's time to find your shape. A few of our most popular dress shapes include:
Any clothing store for women in Morrisville, NC, worth its salt, will have plenty of fit & flare dresses for you to try. This common-shaped dress is one of the most popular on the market, mainly because they look great on every woman, regardless of age or shape. A timeless choice, fit & flare dresses fit through the bodice and flare out just below your hip. This helps develop a balanced, slimming silhouette for most women. If you want to accentuate your best assets and hide everything else, ask our experienced fashionistas to show you some the most popular fit & flare dresses at Copper Penny.
Time to start doing your happy dance! Fit & flare dresses have very balanced proportions, making them a true winner for every body type. Women with athletic builds love this dress for the extra curves. Women with apple-shaped bodies love how fit & flare dresses define their waistlines. Because this dress already looks like an hourglass on the hanger, it will be a natural fit for ladies with such a figure.
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 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.
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.

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.

The first phase of a 1 million-square-foot biomedical facility, “built on spec,” has hit the market in the Research Triangle.
Massachusetts-based developer King Street Properties has delivered the core and shell of the initial two buildings on its new 75-acre Pathway Triangle campus at 4880 McCrimmon Parkway in Morrisville, about a 5-minute drive northeast to Raleigh-Durham International Airport.
In total, some 370,000 square feet of purpose-built “turn-key” biomanufacturing space — a footprint (minus second floors) the size of five football fields — is now ready for tenant upfit, the company said.
Among its selling points: 40-foot ceilings for high-bay space, precast concrete panels, six loading docks, as well as footings and columns already sized to accommodate future second-floor expansions. (The first building, at 168,000 square feet, has the capacity to expand up to 260,000 square feet. The second building, 202,000 square feet, has the option to expand to 300,000 square feet.)
“Our buildings are the tallest in town,” said King Street’s Raleigh-based managing director Sara McTyeire, during a tour earlier this week. “It’s scaled where you could bring in a prefabricated clean room and not have to take any ‘skin’ off the building.” (In industry terms, the “skin” is the building’s exterior.)
The buildings are also contiguous. Their exterior can be removed to combine them. Companies could use them for developing lifesaving drugs and therapies, medical devices or harnessing renewable materials. “We’ve found multi purposes for this type of asset,” she said as planes roared overhead. (The site is also in the airport overlay district.)
This is King Street’s second purpose-built biomanufacturing campus, McTyeire added. The first is Pathway Devens in Massachusetts. “We know these buildings work.”
In August 2019, the town extended McCrimmon Parkway to give roadway access to the then-undeveloped land. And in 2021, it changed its zoning regulations to allow mixed-use projects in this corridor.
Not long after, King Street paid $9.46 million for its assemblage and broke ground, the Triangle Business Journal reported. The firm built the buildings “on spec.” In other words, they developed their project without any tenant commitments.
It’s a calculated risk, especially since they’re not the only shiny new $1 billion biotech campus on the block. Directly across the street is the site of another billion-dollar hub, Spark Life Science (or Spark LS), also under construction. It’s expected to deliver by the year’s end.
Despite the competition — and the Triangle’s tough commercial market — McTyeire said she’s optimistic about their prospects. They’ve already received interest from several high-profile companies, including “a Fortune 100 company, a pharmaceutical company, industries in aerospace, defense and clean energy,” she said. Most are from out-of-state; some are even from abroad.
“We’re under non-disclosure agreements for all of them, but it really runs the gamut,” she said. “We’re quite bullish.”
In addition to the two buildings, the first phase includes a third 140,000-square-foot building for research and development. It’s in the process of getting final permit approvals and is set to break ground shortly. Plans are also underway for a 12,000-square-foot amenity building with a gym, golf simulator, conference center, lounge, outdoor patio, bike stations and storage and food options.
The second phase includes a 140,000-square foot research and development building, as well as two biomanufacturing buildings: one is 160,000 square feet; the other is 200,000 square feet.
Founded in 2002, King Street is headquartered in Boston. In addition to Morrisville, it has hubs in New York, San Diego and the San Francisco Bay area.
In September 2020, it entered the Triangle market when it acquired EastRidge at Perimeter Park for almost $46 million. The 479,000 square-foot, nine-building life science park at 100-1000 Perimeter Park Drive is just off Airport Boulevard and around the corner from Pathway.
King Street has since renovated to include a new amenity building. Plans are also underway to convert portions of the existing space to life science, the company said.
In addition, it manages the 114,000-square-foot warehouse-conversion Carmichael Building and a research laboratory in Durham. Both are fully occupied by Duke University.
Raleigh-Durham is ranked fifth among the nation’s life science clusters, according to a new JLL report.
Most of the major real estate players in Boston’s life-science world, like King Street, have a presence in the Research Triangle area or are considering one.
But the market is currently saturated with biotech space, according to the latest data from CBRE, as higher interest rates and softening economic conditions have tempered tenant demand over the last year and the construction pipeline empties.
Some 9.5 million square feet of life science space is available for lease. Vacancy rates have risen to 14.3% as of the second quarter of 2024, CBRE found. That’s up from 8.7% in the same period in 2023.
On the plus side: that’s still significantly lower than the roughly 20% vacancy rate for traditional office space.
Avison Young’s managing director Kathy Gigac said she remains positive. “Pre-COVID, we didn’t have large blocks of space for companies to come here,” she said. “Now, when we’re up against places like Austin or Nashville, we can definitely be a player.”

Morrisville, NC (December 11, 2024) – Emergency responders were quick to arrive at the scene of a motor vehicle collision that occurred at the ramp connecting Aviation Parkway to I-40 Westbound on Tuesday morning. The accident, reported at approximately 8:54 AM, resulted in injuries to individuals involved.
According to preliminary information, the collision took place on a ramp linking Aviation Parkway and I-40 Westbound, impacting morning traffic in the area. Multiple vehicles were involved, although specifics on the number and type of vehicles are still under investigation. First responders, including paramedics and fire crews from the Morrisville Fire Department, provided on-site care to injured parties before transporting them to local medical facilities for further evaluation.
The exact circumstances leading to the crash remain under investigation by local authorities. Weather and traffic conditions at the time of the accident are also being reviewed as part of the ongoing inquiry. The identities and conditions of those involved have not been disclosed at this time.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by this incident, and we hope for the swift recovery of the injured.
Motor vehicle collisions are an unfortunate reality on North Carolina’s roadways, often causing significant disruptions and resulting in serious injuries. The state’s extensive network of highways, ramps, and connecting roads sees a high volume of traffic, increasing the risk of accidents. Areas like Morrisville, located near major highways such as I-40, frequently experience incidents where ramps and intersections become collision hotspots.
Crashes on ramps, such as the one connecting Aviation Parkway to I-40 WB, can be particularly hazardous due to the merging of high-speed traffic with vehicles entering or exiting the highway. Factors like distracted driving, speeding, and inadequate signage may contribute to such incidents.
Statewide data highlights that thousands of motor vehicle collisions occur annually in North Carolina, leading to injuries and fatalities. Drivers navigating high-traffic areas are urged to exercise caution, remain vigilant, and adhere to posted speed limits to help reduce the likelihood of accidents.
If you or someone you know has been injured in a motor vehicle collision, it’s essential to understand your rights and options for seeking compensation and justice. Local Accident Reports provides valuable resources to help victims and their families during these challenging times. Contact us for more information and support after an accident.
