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. If you're looking for the highest quality women's tops in North Charleston, SC, you just hit the jackpot!

We only carry the most popular tops from the best brands and designers around the world.
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.

Great for wearing solo or layered over a camisole or tank top, wrap tops are lightweight, versatile, and great for many different occasions.

Our V-Neck Wrap SLV Top by Jayden is uber-popular at Copper Penny and the perfect choice for dressing down or dressing up. The choice is yours!

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.

Who doesn't love a good tank top?! Tank tops are lightweight, versatile, and equally great for lounging in the yard or running errands on weekends. Tank tops lend an air of simplicity to your outfit and can be styled in endless ways. Take our Velvet Heart Victory Tank, for instance.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston County voters will be able to cast their ballots as early as next Monday through seven different early voting locations.
The Charleston County Board of Elections is expecting a high turnout for the 2024 general elections. Early voting will be available from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
A law change in 2022 eliminated the use of a signed form and instead allows voters to use a photo ID to check in, making for a smoother voting process.
“Early voting gives us the opportunity for a lot of resources. Personnel and equipment on election day. Since we have 104 locations, we have to divy that out per population. Early voting gives us the opportunity to have a bigger voting facility, accessibility,” Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Elections Executive Director Isaac Cramer said.
Curbside voting will be offered on both on Election Day and during early voting. They will also be workshopping a pilot sensory space for neurodivergent voters.
In the wake of controversies surrounding ballot integrity and voter suppression, the board is focused on protocol, ballot reconciliation and sealing of votes.
“There’s been a lot of misinformation around casting your ballot ahead of Election Day. There’s been a scare tactic being used that we’re trying to push against, and our messaging is centered around the security of the vote,” Cramer said.
Cramer recommended checking the SC VOTES website to ensure voter registration is up to date. Voters with questions or concerns should contact the state Election Commission.
The board is reporting more than 500 new poll workers. The goal is to have 1,500 total, like in 2020. Poll workers are paid $250 for working Election Day and there are no background checks required.
“Poll workers get to serve people in your neighborhoods. Ensure their right to vote is protected. The laws are being followed. This election has integrity because of the people who are working. These are your friends, these are your neighbors,” Cramer said.
CARTA will offer free rides on Election Day. The voter office in North Charleston will be accessible from the Main Library during early voting, but it will not be free.
The deadline to receive a mail ballot is Oct. 25 at 5 p.m. If you are able to return your vote in person, you can drop it off at an early voting site.
Absentee voters are being asked to double-check they witnessed and signed their voter pack properly.
The county board is offering a voter guide which explains this information, who is running for office and what each office is for.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) The city of North Charleston and the Charleston County School District are collaborating to improve academic achievement at north Charleston schools with a joint commission. School leaders say this is a call to action to create change in North Charleston schools.
After a previous North Charleston Mayor called to leave the Charleston County School District several months ago, the city of North Charleston and Charleston County School District are working together to improve their schools. North Charleston schools have faced problems with absences, homelessness, language barriers and more that the city and school district are working to fix.
“There’s a sense of collective responsibility to address the problem and of course our school and our communities aren’t the problem but there are things that are really tough that we are working through things connected to personal immigration access to healthcare those things are really tough for a community but it’s not if everyone comes together and brings their resources and connects those,” said Stephen Larson, from the CCSD joint commission
“We have come together to make things happen in north Charleston. Mayor Burgess and Anita Huggins want to make sure that all children are treated equally and get the best here in North Charleston to make all our children succeed,” said Dr. Kathi Love, the children and family coordinator for the city of north Charleston.
The list of recommendations includes more access to community centers in the North Charleston literacy and tutoring program, access to career and technical education and collaboration on joint land purchase for academic athletic and recreational use. They will also launch a community involvement campaign against truancy, gun violence and substance abuse.
“I think it’s a positive start and I think we’re going to continue and this way we can be a pilot program for other areas,” said Love.
The city and school district will work together on each of these recommendations. The city will provide land for children’s activities, more community centers for tutoring and people from the city will work on initiative against absences and substance abuse. The school district will work to hear students’ needs to identify what is important for them to succeed.
“We have disproportionate access to the children; we see them every day so not only do we have access on how to make our communities healthier and more engaged in school. We can also be really effective with other messages from other points of view in the community to come in and support what kids are doing,” said Larson.
The joint commission says for the initiative to succeed everyone in the city must play an active role.

“We have our best mix yet of returning favorites as well as new breweries, so everyone is sure to find one of their favorite beers and keep adding to their list with new ones,” Richard Reams, Palmetto Community Care’s director of development and marketing, said.
The festival welcomes beer and music lovers and gives them the chance to sample Lowcountry favorites along with new IPAs, reds, ales, stouts, sours and ciders from around the Carolinas, Georgia and beyond.

The event’s proceeds benefit Palmetto Community Care, which provides compassionate HIV care and prevention education across the Tri-County area.
“We couldn’t be prouder of the list of amazing craft breweries! Not only do these breweries make great beer, but each of them is generously supporting our community and the work we do each and every day,” Reams said. “We are so pleased to showcase the regional craft beer community at Charleston Beerfest.”
General admission tickets are $50 per person at the event’s website and include festival access, a commemorative festival mug, and beer tastings. In addition to all the craft brews, festival attendees will be treated to a wide range of food trucks and a Vendor Village featuring area artisans and craft vendors.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- The 2024 general election is quickly approaching, but South Carolina voters will not have to wait until Election Day to cast a ballot.
Governor Henry McMaster signed a law in May 2022 that replaces in-person absentee voting with an early in-person voting period for the two weeks leading up to election days.
Any registered voter, including those who will be 18 years old by the Nov. 5 general election, can cast a ballot during the early voting period without an excuse.
“Early voting provides a convenient and secure way for you to cast your ballot,” said Howie Knapp, the executive director of the South Carolina Election Commission. “Find an early voting center in your county, vote just like you would at your polling place on Election Day, and have your voice heard.”
Early voting for the 2024 election begins on Monday, October 21, and ends on Saturday, Nov. 2.

Here’s what voters need to know:
The ballot will include seven candidates for president, according to officials:
An eighth candidate — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — was initially nominated by the South Carolina Alliance Party. However, party leaders withdrew him from the ballot in August after he suspended his presidential campaign.
Additionally, each of South Carolina’s seven U.S. House of Representatives seats is up for election.
All 170 seats in the South Carolina state legislature — 124 in the House and 46 in the Senate — are also up for grabs this year. Some are uncontested, however.
Some ballots will also include races for county sheriff, circuit solicitor, probate judge, coroner, school board, and other countywide and local races.
Voters can find out who is on the ballot where they live by obtaining a sample ballot from the South Carolina Election Commission.
South Carolina adopted new state legislative district maps in December 2021 following the 2020 U.S. Census. Some district lines were redrawn, new districts were created, and some districts were eliminated.
Voters can find out which district they live in on the South Carolina legislature’s website.
Each county in South Carolina is required to have at least one polling location open for early voting. Some larger counties may have multiple open locations while smaller counties may have just one early voting site.
Early voting centers are open Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the early voting period. Early voting is not available on Sunday, Oct. 27.
Here are the early voting locations* in the Lowcountry, by county:
Beaufort County
Berkeley County
Charleston County
Colleton County
Dorchester County
Georgetown County
Orangeburg County
Williamsburg County
You can find the complete list of early voting locations in every South Carolina county here.
Editor’s Note: The list of early voting centers may be updated as additional information becomes available.
A valid photo ID is required to vote in South Carolina elections, including during the early voting period. Acceptable forms of identification include:
State law requires an individual to register to vote at least 30 days before an election.
The deadline to register for the 2024 election is Monday, Oct. 14.
There are several ways you can register to vote in South Carolina:
1 – South Carolinians can register online by visiting scvotes.gov before midnight on Oct. 14. You will need your South Carolina Driver’s License or DMV ID card.
