Diamonds are pretty and all, but honestly? Dresses are a girl's best friend. Dresses are fun, comfortable, and versatile. At Copper Penny, they're also fashionable and cute. We have a huge selection of women's dresses in North Charleston, SC, 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.
SHOP NOWLike 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.
SHOP NOWA 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 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 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. If you're looking for the highest quality women's tops in North Charleston, SC, you just hit the jackpot!
With that said, finding the right top for the right occasion is easier said than done. However, at Copper Penny, we make finding the right top fun. Whether you're looking for a top that makes a statement or you need a classic button-down for a subdued style, we've got your back. 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.
Shop NowGreat for wearing solo or layered over a camisole or tank top, wrap tops are lightweight, versatile, and great for many different occasions. Wrap tops go well with jeans, maxi dresses, and high-waisted jeans or trousers. 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!
Shop NowFor 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.
Shop NowWho 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. This tank is a refreshing update on our classic sleeveless tank top, complete with fray details and a scoop neck. Throw in the fact that it's machine washable, and you have a wardrobe winner.

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.
Swing by Copper Penny and ask one of our friendly sales associates to help you out! While you're there, don't forget to check out our huge selection of women's tops in North Charleston, SC.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingevity Corporation (NYSE: NGVT) today announced that it is exploring strategic alternatives for the company’s Performance Chemicals Industrial Specialties product line, including a potential divestiture of portions of its North Charleston site. Ingevity noted that this process includes all Industrial Specialties pine chemical-based chemistries that serve the paper chemical, rubber, adhesive, oilfield, lubricants and industrial intermediate end-use markets, and the North Charleston, South Carolina, crude tall oil refinery. This process will not include the Performance Chemicals Road Technologies product line, nor certain lignin-based products that are currently reported in Ingevity’s Industrial Specialties product line.
“Ingevity’s management team and Board are committed to taking aggressive action to deliver more shareholder value,” said Luis Fernandez-Moreno, Ingevity interim president and CEO. “Over the last fifteen months, we have undertaken a series of initiatives to improve the performance of our business, in particular our Performance Chemicals segment. These initiatives are already leading to improved results, as demonstrated by the sequential segment EBITDA margin improvement realized during the second half of 2024.”
“Exiting most of the Industrial Specialties product line will strengthen the Performance Chemicals segment further and enable us to focus our attention on higher growth and higher margin opportunities within our portfolio while improving the company’s earnings and cash flow profile,” continued Fernandez-Moreno. “During this process, we will continue to provide exceptional service and support to our Industrial Specialties customers.”
“We are continuing to evaluate the rest of the Ingevity portfolio and remain committed to taking appropriate actions, including ensuring our cost structure is aligned with our objective of being a specialty chemicals leader. We believe we will be well positioned for profitable growth and value creation beginning in 2025,” stated Fernandez-Moreno.
Ingevity cannot assure its strategic review will result in a transaction. The company expects to move as swiftly as possible and communicate the path forward before the end of the year and does not intend to disclose further developments unless and until it is determined that further disclosure is appropriate.
Preliminary fiscal year 2024 financial results
Ingevity announced today unaudited preliminary financial results for fiscal year 2024. These preliminary results remain subject to completion of the company’s fiscal year financial audit. The company expects to report Net sales of approximately $1.40 billion, Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $360 million, and free cash flow of greater than $40 million.
“We are pleased to announce that our full year Adjusted EBITDA is expected to reach the high end of our previous guidance and free cash flow to significantly exceed prior guidance. This achievement is driven by the ongoing positive impact of our Performance Chemicals segment repositioning and the consistent strong performance of our Performance Materials segment, which has delivered another robust quarter. With this positive momentum, we have increased confidence in our ability to deliver slightly above $400 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2025,” said Fernandez-Moreno. “We will provide more detail on our 2025 guidance at our upcoming fourth-quarter and fiscal year 2024 earnings call scheduled on February 19, 2025.”
The company’s expectations for Adjusted EBITDA in 2025 do not include any potential impact from the exploration of strategic alternatives announced today.
Fourth-quarter and full year 2024 financial results conference call and webcast
As previously announced, Ingevity will release its fourth-quarter and full year 2024 earnings after the stock market closes on Tuesday, February 18, and Ingevity will host a live webcast on Wednesday, February 19, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern) to discuss fourth-quarter and full year 2024 financial results as well as 2025 guidance.

Use of non-GAAP financial measures: This press release includes certain forward-looking non‐GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. The company does not attempt to provide reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP guidance to the comparable GAAP measure because the impact and timing of the factors underlying the guidance assumptions are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and are unavailable without unreasonable efforts. In addition, Ingevity believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of certainty that could be confusing to investors.

President Joe Biden will wrap up his presidency in Charleston this weekend, spending his final day in office in the city where it all began with the 2020 endorsement of Congressman Jim Clyburn.
“He is coming to thank the very community and the people who put him in the White House,” says former State Sen. Marlon Kimpson who was appointed by Biden in 2023 to serve on the U.S. Trade Advisory Committee.
Kimpson says Biden will worship at Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston Sunday and attend a reception at the International African American Museum at Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston.
“While he will be thanking us, we will also be thanking him,” says Kimpson. “This president has done tremendous service to our state.”
Kimpson points to the Bipartisan Infrastructure law of 2021 that brought millions of dollars to our state, including the expansion of broadband allowing internet access for people in rural communities at a critical time, during the pandemic.
He also applauds the outgoing president for expanding healthcare for many who could not afford it, in particular, the American Rescue Plan that provided relief for families and workers impacted by COVID.
“All those resources enable our people to live a better quality of life,” says Kimpson.
As for what’s next with former President Donald Trump officially returning to the White House the day after Biden’s visit, Kimpson believes attacks on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs have been misplaced.
“People are hurting in our country and they’re looking for somebody to blame for their own lack of success,” he says.
“I think leveling the playing field for opportunities for those who haven’t historically had those disadvantages is not taking away from someone who thinks they’re deserving.”
As for President Biden’s message Sunday, Kimpson says, that’s anyone’s guess.
“I can say this. It’s hist last day in office and he will be speaking to the world.”
In other words, all eyes will be on Charleston.
The White House has issued a press release acknowledging the president’s visit to Charleston but has yet to include specifics.

Downtown Summerville’s Brooklyn South, as the name suggests, is the place to get a New York-style slice. Channel the Corleones with the Godfather — featuring ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, banana peppers, and mozzarella — or try Jake’s Smokehouse pizza with smoky charbroiled chicken and bacon plus smoked cheddar, mozzarella, and barbecue sauce.
Grab take-out or delivery from this North Charleston establishment. Choose from one of the many creations like the pepperoni and pineapple topped Big Z or the barbecue chicken Bird on the Wire. Any pie can be made into a calzone, and the eatery also offers toasted sandwiches and salads.
Each component of this Park Circle parlor’s Neapolitan-style pies is chosen with care, from the bakery-quality dough to the local cheese. EVO’s ingredients are picked from local farms to form masterful combinations like the pancetta, Brussels sprouts, and pear pie. Meat eaters can’t go wrong with the renowned Pork Trifecta made with handmade sausage, bacon, and pepperoni.
This family pizza business traveled from Detroit to Mount Pleasant to bring locals the deep-dish style baked in blue steel pans. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, try one of the pies featuring “brick cheese” from Wisconsin. Favorites include the BLT (with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo) or the Buffalo chicken pizza with blue cheese crumbles.
Customers can find creative neo-Neapolitan pies out of Renzo, like the classic margherita or the creative Cheli with feta, lamb sausage, pickled peppers, and honey. There’s also non-pizza options like charred broccolini with XO sauce or a crunchy Caesar salad. The wine list is pretty rad too.
2018 Eater Pizza of the Year award winner Melfi’s offers thin and crispy Roman-style pizzas in an elegant atmosphere with white tablecloths. The Stretch Armstrong, an amped-up margherita pie highlighted by a stretchy homemade stracciatella cheese.
Philadelphia natives Nick and Ben D’Allesandro wanted D’als to be a casual shop with cold beer and handmade pizza, which is exactly what it has become for the Cannonborough/Elliotborough neighborhood since opening in 2006. Diners can go for a classic meat lovers or head for one of the more unique — and tasty — options like the Beetnick topped with bacon, goat cheese, and golden beets.
In addition to fresh pastas and seasonal starters, King Street Italian restaurant Indaco offers several wood-fired pizzas. Selections range from the classic margherita to a lamb version with ricotta and olives.
Hip hotel restaurant Frannie and the Fox offers woof-fired creations in a buzzy atmosphere. The standout pizza is the classic margherita with its perfect portions of flavors, but if a meatier option is required, take a look at the fennel sausage pie with red onion.
Crust’s entire menu is worth checking out, from the delicious salads with local shrimp to pastas and sandwiches. Customize a 12-inch pie the way you like it, or opt for one of the pizzas with or without tomato sauce. The Butternut — roasted squash, mushroom, caramelized onion, goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, arugula, and truffle oil — has been beloved by fans since the restaurant’s inception.
There are multiple Famulari’s Pizzeria locations in the Charleston area, but the James Island one doubles as a brewery offering house brewed beers like the Cup of Clouds New England style IPA. For pizza, find a seemingly endless variety of topping options, from pineapple to pesto to cheese steak.
Mobile kitchen Dough Boyz Pizza has amassed an army of fanatic followers around the Lowcounty. The charred crust and just-thin-enough dough makes for repeat customers. The truck can be found at the Sea Island Farmers Market, various breweries, and sometimes Graft wine shop. The pepperoni and banana pepper pie brings the right amount of spice and tang to satisfy, while the prosciutto pie is an indulgent blanket of ham-y goodness.

President Joe Biden will arrive in Charleston today to pay tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and recognize his long relationship with South Carolina, a state that catapulted him to the 2020 Democratic nomination with the endorsement of Congressman Jim Clyburn.
White House officials now confirm the president will worship at Royal Missionary Baptist Church in North Charleston and deliver remarks on Dr. King's legacy, the day before the federal holiday honoring the civil rights leader.
Then, he’ll visit the International African American Museum at Gadsden’s wharf in Charleston, the site where some 200,000 thousand Africans were brought ashore and sold into slavery.
The Charleston visit marks Biden’s last official day in office before he attends the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump Monday.
South Carolina Public Radio/SCETV’s Gavin Jackson and Victoria Hansen are closely following the president's visit as part of a traveling press pool. They’ll bring you live updates right here, so check back throughout the day.
