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.

A Morrisville company that helps people participate in clinical trials from home through a software platform has exited its state incentive agreement to create 250 jobs in the Triangle, blaming broader economic factors, companywide layoffs, and an ownership change for its decision.
In a Dec. 30 letter to the North Carolina Department of Commerce, the firm Science 37 said it had not met the minimum hiring thresholds — retaining 99 local positions and adding 83 by the end of 2023 — to comply with its grant agreement.
“During 2022 and 2023, the unfavorable global economic conditions and other adverse macroeconomic factors, such as ongoing inflation, labor and supply chain disruptions, and increasing interest rates have directly impacted our customer demand,” Science 37 Chief Financial Officer Westley King wrote.
He said these challenges hindered Science 37’s customers from raising capital to fund their clinical trials and drug development. In 2023, the company cut half its global workforce and paused local expansion projects.
The North Carolina Economic Investment Committee voted to formally terminate Science 37’s grant during a meeting Tuesday.
Originally based in Southern California, Science 37 moved its headquarters to Research Triangle Park after landing an incentive package from North Carolina in late 2021. The deal would have been worth roughly $3.3 million in corporate tax benefits if Science 37 had reached its hiring goals.
Science 37 had committed to pay the 250 new workers in Wake County an average annual salary of at least $103,000. Its CEO at the time, David Coman, was a former executive at the Durham-based Quintiles (now IQVIA).
In March, Science 37 was acquired by the telehealth company eMed, which conducted another round of layoffs at the Triangle company last month. After being purchased, Science 37 relocated its headquarters from inside RTP to an office building in Morrisville.
Entering this year, the company had 41 full-time employees in North Carolina and 27 based specifically at its headquarters. King wrote that Science 37 had “no intention” to make its remote U.S. workers report to this Morrisville location.
North Carolina did not award any taxpayer dollars through its job development investment grant. Money is tied to companies hitting their hiring and investment targets, and Science 37 fell short in its first grant year.
Most incentive-backed economic projects have failed to achieve their initial jobs promises since North Carolina launched its job development investment grant (JDIG) program in 2003. This includes grants that created some jobs, but not the original headline figure, and grants that created no new jobs. Companies have cited higher interest rates and societal disruptions, like the COVID-19 pandemic, when informing state officials they would leave their incentive agreements.
In addition to ending the Science 37 grant, the state on Tuesday terminated a 2021 JDIG for the residential cabinet maker MasterBrand to create at least 418 jobs in Eastern North Carolina’s Lenoir County while retaining more than 1,400 jobs statewide.
MasterBrand will continue to operate its Lenoir factory in the county seat of Kinston, but the company shuttered two other North Carolina plants in 2024, including a newly acquired site in Statesville.
