A-Line 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.

Empire Waist

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.

Drop Waist

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.

Once 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:

Fit & Flare Dresses in North Charleston

Any clothing store for women in North Charleston, 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 in North Charleston

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 in North Charleston

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.

How to Find the Right Fit for Your Women's Top

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.

CLASSROOM CHAMPIONS: N. Charleston charter school hoping to make students’ prom memorable

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Allegro Charter School of Music recently moved into a new building and one of its teachers wants to make sure one high school tradition, the prom, is one her students will never forget.

Skyla Sale, who has been at Allegro for four years, teaches high school English, co-leads the seniors’ capstone course and is currently in her first year as the school’s academic dean.

Last summer, the teachers, students and staff at the school, which serves sixth through 12th grades, moved into a new building in the Park Circle area.

“We’re decorating the walls, painting the rooms and really making Allegro feel like home,” Sale says.

Prior to moving, the school was renting the Garrett Building, located on Dorchester Road. Teachers now have their own classrooms and they’re allowed to decorate the hallways and control how others view the school. Sale says she enjoys being a part of the Park Circle community. Students at the school can walk to the park on a field trip and they’ve welcomed the school with open arms.

There have only been two proms at Allegro Charter School of Music. Now that the interruption of COVID is over and growth at the school is finally picking back up, Sale says this year the school wants to start new traditions. School leaders plan to host a prom at the Park Circle Community Center. Sale says she wants every student at their school to feel welcomed and included.

“Watching students walk across the stage, and I know I’ve only been here four years, it’s been so special to see the growth of a student ninth grade through twelve grade and watch them not only thrive at our school but thrive in the community,” Sale says.

Without raising ticket prices, Sale says they want to make prom a magical event to prevent students from not attending because of financial reasons. Allegro’s theme this year for prom is the Enchanted Forest and they’re hoping to make the theme come alive.

If you’d like to help Sale and her performing arts students have the best prom they can have you can click here to donate and become a Classroom Champion.

US and UK Reservists Share Aeromedical Evac Expertise in Longstanding Partnership

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. -- A team of Reservists from the Royal Air Force was hosted by the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron to deepen each others’ expertise and maintain their ongoing partnership during a training event at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, March 1-3, 2024.Eleven members of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force’s 4626 Squadron, a medical evacuation unit based at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, England, trained on combat casualty care, air transpor...

JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. --

A team of Reservists from the Royal Air Force was hosted by the U.S. Air Force Reserve’s 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron to deepen each others’ expertise and maintain their ongoing partnership during a training event at Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina, March 1-3, 2024.

Eleven members of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force’s 4626 Squadron, a medical evacuation unit based at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, England, trained on combat casualty care, air transport procedures, and emergency medical care alongside members of the U.S. Air Force Reserve 315th AES, located here.

Throughout the training, participants from both the U.S. and U.K. exchanged best practices, refined their medical skills, and strengthened their teamwork through simulated scenarios meant to replicate real-world emergencies, with the aim to familiarize each other so that they can work cohesively in the event of real-world need.

Wing Commander Lorrie Lawton, Officer Commanding of 4626 Squadron, emphasized the shared mission between the U.K. and the U.S. in aeromedical evacuations, highlighting the importance of joint exercises and training to enhance operational effectiveness.

“I think what our troops have learned is actually how similar we are,” said Lawton. “The U.K. and the U.S. have the same mission when we're doing aero-meds—We're getting our personnel back home. In previous conflicts, we've always been working closely with our U.S. allies, so being able to do exercises and training together with our sister squadron, we find, is absolutely vital for us.”

Aeromedical evacuation plays a crucial role in the Air Force Reserve's mission, transferring injured service members to locations where they can receive more advanced medical care. The training involved directly integrating members of 4626 into 315th AES aircrews, where they could practice and familiarize working in combined air evac teams on potentially unfamiliar aircraft.

“In future operations we have with [4626], they will be easier to adapt to working together in a more congruent atmosphere,” said Lt. Col. Jeffrey Fox, evaluator with the 315th AES. “Interoperability with 4626 is working together, we are learning their medical systems and our medical system so that we can operate seamlessly together in an operational environment.”

Interoperability

In a time of war or humanitarian need, RAF and USAF aeromedical evacuation units can be interoperable. This means that they are able to evacuate each other’s injured service members to a higher echelon of medical care: Injured U.S. service members and medical personnel may fly on British aircraft when being evacuated, and vice versa.

This training partnership allows members of both Air Forces to best do that, by familiarizing each other in differences in aircraft and procedures.

“Interoperability means that, if we are out in a theater of operations, we can work on any aircraft that is presented to us,” said Lawton.

The 315th saw benefit in how the 4626 could adapt and operate leanly when needed.

“I think the biggest takeaway from 4626 for our members at the 315th was that they are able to adapt to their patients in a quicker manner than we are,” said Fox. “And I think that's something that we can learn from and how to utilize smaller aircrews to adapt to a quicker response time for our injured service members.”

One of the key highlights of the training was familiarization on the C-17 Globemaster III aircraft. While the Air Forces of both countries operate the C-17 as a strategic transport aircraft, there are some minor differences in how air evac teams of each use medical equipment on the aircraft, for instance, with use of aircraft oxygen and electrical systems for patient care.

The Reserve Tie and Partnership

As Reservists in the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, and like their American counterparts, members of 4626 also have civilian careers, primarily in medical fields. Reservists of both respective Air Forces have a shared understanding of what it’s like to maintain both a civilian and military career.

“Having these really close relationships with our sister squadron, I think, is absolutely vital, and we need to keep on doing this,” said Lawton. “We need to keep supporting our Reservist friends as well… The similarities when you're talking to people are absolutely saying the difficulties they have trying to juggle things with the Reserves, work, home, all the rest of it.”

Lawton said that Reserve members maintaining a civilian career outside of the military actually gives them several advantages, especially in the medical expertise they bring to the military.

“Every single one of the personnel on my squadron are absolutely the highest trained from the National Health Service, so each of them are clinically current, and they are highly qualified,” said Lawton. “I would fly with any one of my personnel because I know they've had the best training, the best experience, and the best education that the NHS can offer, which means that we can give the best care for the patients that we're flying. Because they're civilians, and have civilian jobs that actually gives them an edge.”

The event provided an opportunity to continue to enhance training at home.

“Seeing what you do differently, and if there's a way that we can take some of the things that you do, the kit that you use, the processes that you do, and if we can take that back and make what we do better, I think that'll be great thing,” said Corporal Jim Hancox, paramedic with 4626. “And also to make some friends and hopefully come across people again in the future.”

Those personal connections deepen the relationship as well.

“Having that relationship with a sister squadron is absolutely vital, so that if you're deployed and you see somebody from the 315th, you know that they are your family,” said Lawton. “And actually, when you deploy, that's what you need around you is your family.”

Both teams wish for the partnership to continue to remain close.

“I think our relationship will keep on growing and developing,” said Lawton. “The more that we have time with each other, the more those friendships will develop and grow. I've already seen people that were over with us in the UK and gave us a big hug. Those friendships will keep growing and enduring, and that's what I want to take forward with this.”

4626 Squadron is a unit of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force, the U.K.’s equivalent to the U.S. Air Force Reserve. Its mission as Medical Reserves is to provide personnel to the RAF and Defence Medical Services operational medical capabilities, including aeromedical evacuation and pre-hospital, primary and secondary healthcare.

The 315th AES is a component of the U.S. Air Force Reserve 315th Airlift Wing, located at Joint Base Charleston. JB Charleston served as an ideal setting for the joint training, with modern facilities and similar mission sets to RAF Brize Norton, both as large cargo and air mobility bases.

Southern Living says this fast-casual market is best new restaurant in North Carolina

North Carolina has welcomed a long list of new restaurants in the last year, especially in the Queen City.

With a buzzing culinary scene like Charlotte’s, you’ve probably lost count of all the new restaurants that have opened in the city.

Already this year, almost 90 new spots have opened or announced plans to open around the area. But one trendy place to eat has been named the best new restaurant in North Carolina.

As part of its annual South’s Best Awards, Southern Living revealed the best new eateries in every state across the region.

Of all the delicious new restaurants calling North Carolina home, Salted Melon Market & Eatery in Charlotte received the title for the top new spot.

The fast-casual restaurant, located in South End, opened back in 2022. Run by the team behind Reid’s Fine Foods, Salted Melon Market is part market and part restaurant for those that want to grab a bite to go or dine in for a meal. Plus, there’s also a bar with creative cocktails, beer and wine.

“Salted Melon is a one-stop-shop for Charlotte food lovers. This market-restaurant-hybrid not only serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and fully-prepped meals to go, it also has a gourmet grocery store filled with products you won’t find at your local supermarket,” Southern Living’s report says.

“Menu items lean toward the healthy side, with lots of vegetables and whole grains, like the Healthy Farmer, a quinoa bowl with spinach, a six-minute egg, bruleed goat cheese, red bell peppers, avocado, and pear vinaigrette.”

The restaurant also hosts live music nights, with performances from local artists every week.

If you’re curious, Southern Living picked Vern’s in Charleston as the best new restaurant to try in South Carolina.

You can find all the other top new restaurants in the South, and the full list of awards online at SouthernLiving.com.
