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 Mount Pleasant, SC, 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.

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.

MOUNT PLEASANT — A familiar drive-thru has quietly closed its long-standing location, leaving some customers asking: “Where’s the beef?”
Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers in the Harris Teeter-anchored Sea Island Shopping Center in Mount Pleasant is now shuttered, ending a 40-year run.
The fast-food restaurant has occupied a outbuilding since 1986 near the corner of Ben Sawyer and Chuck Dawley boulevards.
“Sorry we are closed,” according to a notice posted in the pick-up window and side entrance.
At opening, the 2,500-square foot restaurant was the 13th Charleston-area location of the chain, according to a local news report.
The Chuck Dawley location has been removed from the corporate headquarters’ website. The company did not own the building, according to public real estate records.
Batson Hewitt, owner of the Sea Island Shopping Center, said discussions have already taken place with an unnamed tenant about what will replace the long-standing restaurant.
“I have been working with the current franchise owner and a new tenant to take over the space that will complement the other tenants in the Sea Island Shopping Center and provide a needed service to the surrounding Mount Pleasant community,” Hewitt said.
The closing leaves two Wendy’s in the East Cooper market — at 596 Long Point Road and 361 Johnnie Dodds Blvd. Others are still operating elsewhere in the region in Charleston, Goose Creek, Moncks Corner, North Charleston, Summerville and St. George.
A long-shuttered Wendy’s near the Medical University of South Carolina on the peninsula at 194 Cannon St. has been proposed as a hotel site for about a decade.
Dave Thomas opened the first Wendy’s restaurant in Columbus, Ohio, with a focus on hamburgers and its signature “frosty” drinks. He introduced the first modern-day drive-thru window in 1970. By 1985, the chain had opened its 3,000th location.
In 1979, Wendy’s added the salad bar to its menu, but were phased out in 2006.
In 2008, Wendy’s consolidated with Arby’s Restaurant Group Inc. and was based in Atlanta. Three years later, the chains decided to go their separate ways. Wendy’s moving its headquarters back to Ohio.
Last November, Ken Cook, the company's interim CEO, said hundreds of locations would be closing in an effort to trim costs and boost profits.
Wendy’s continues to operate more than 7,000 restaurants worldwide.
Requests for comment from the chain’s headquarters about the closure were not immediately returned.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. (WCSC) — The town of Mount Pleasant Health, Recreation, & Events Committee met to discuss plans for what could be a new food forest and community garden in the area.
This Food Forest and Community Garden initiative would be located at the R.L. Jones Center in Mount Pleasant.
The difference from a food forest compared to a normal garden is the fact that the forest is perennial, creating a long-lasting garden and green space.
“You don’t necessarily have to replant every year. You plant a blueberry bush, you get blueberries for as long as the bush lives,” Chairman of the Mount Pleasant Green Commission and Member of the Mount Pleasant Tree Task Force David Quick said.
The food forest would also support wildlife and pollinators, creating a sustainable ecosystem in the community.
“It’s time to reconnect with nature. A lot of times, you don’t see that hawk, or you don’t see that hummingbird or you don’t see that butterfly unless you’re out in the garden planting with your neighbors.” Quick said.
Building more community space in the area will hope to provide a hands-on learning experience for all ages.
“You don’t want it to be a one-time thing. You want it to be a continual thing. You want to be able to get together and weed the garden. You want to be able to get together and harvest the fruit.” Quick said.
The free fresh produce the garden can provide will also be able to help those in need of food assistance and hopefully local food banks too.
“What we’re doing is helping folks who really need help. We have one of the best farmers’ markets in the state of South Carolina,” Town of Mount Pleasant Recreation Director TJ Rostin said. “So, why not create our own little farm that may be able to just show how much we love green space and doing naturalistic things here in the town.”
This would also serve as a peaceful wellness space for residents to connect with.
“If you think about it, if you’re out in nature, you are recreating. It’s your leisure time,” Rostin explained. “It’s what you’re doing and we want folks to even if you’re not involved with the community garden, come out and look at it. Read a book on the bench. Just take it in.”
Officials hope to create an inclusive space, connecting neighbors and nature in the community.
“We are a town that embraces our green space, and we think that this is something that is just going to further enhance that idea,” Rostin said.
This Food Forest and Community Garden is still in the design and planning stages, but officials are optimistic about this initiative.

The owner of the “Pinz" bowling alley in Milford has been accused of using over $1.2 million in COVID relief funds to build a house in South Carolina and buy multiple vehicles.
David Breen, 54, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina was charged in federal court in Worcester with one count of theft of government property, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Breen has been accused of spending more than $1.2 million in Economic Injury and Disaster Loan (EIDL) money he received from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to build a home and buy a car and a truck.
Breen, who operated bowling alley and entertainment venue “Pinz” in Milford under the “Fun Zone” business entity, received $1.5 million in total from the SBA after applying in March 2022. Under the loan agreement, Breen was supposed to used the proceeds as working capital for his business.
However, Breen has been accused of using more than $1.2 million of this money through June 2023 to build a home for himself in Mount Pleasant, S.C., to buy a truck for $111,000 and to put a downpayment of $98,289 on a Mercedes, the office said.
If convicted, Breen could face up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000. A federal judge will decide the sentence based on U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and federal law.
The charges were announced by U.S. Attorney Leah B. Foley, Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent in Charge Michael J. Krol, and Massachusetts Inspector General S. Jeffrey Shapiro.
The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Inspector General in Boston also assisted in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brendan D. O’Shea from the Worcester office is handling the prosecution.
