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 North 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.

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.

MOUNT PLEASANT — What's in a name?
Within the past 15 years, much of the growth in the heart of East Cooper has been concentrated in the northern part of town, past S.C. Highway 41 and creeping out toward Awendaw.
For some, this is North Mount Pleasant. The moniker comes from its geographical situation — these neighborhoods and communities are built out in the northern reaches of town.
The emergence of the unofficial title, however, has been disputed, with some residents and local officials hesitant to give the area a distinctive label. Others are adamant the area has its own character.
Town Councilman Daniel Brownstein prefers Upper Mount Pleasant when referring to areas north of the Isle of Palms Connector and Highway 41. He said there's sometimes a negative connotation associated with the word "north" in South Carolina, so he opts for "upper" and "lower" to reference the two parts of town.
Upper Mount Pleasant, he said, is marked by big planned developments that are "mixed together" with schools and shopping, whereas the lower or southern portion of town has older, traditional-style neighborhoods, separate from commercial areas.
Master-planned neighborhoods, like Park West and Carolina Park, have attracted thousands of new residents to Mount Pleasant. With this explosive growth came the desire for more services, shops, restaurants and amenities there.
Will Haynie, mayor since 2017, also is careful to refer to the portion of town north of the connector as "Upper Mount Pleasant,” intentionally avoiding the unofficial label.
"When I hear the term North Mount Pleasant, it's as if the two sides of town don't belong to each other,” Haynie said. "We are all Mount Pleasant."
But Brownstein said that while it is one town, he has seen a growing disconnect in Upper Mount Pleasant.
It's a good place to raise a family, he said, within those planned developments that incorporate homes, schools and commercial spaces. But as a whole, residents in this area have a "longing to be better connected with the rest of the town," he said.
Mount Pleasant's two ZIP codes — 29464 and 29466 — encompass the town's population south and north of the Isle of Palms Connector.
According to U.S. census data, the town's population south of the connector grew by 17.5 percent from 2010 to 2020. Meanwhile, north of the connector saw a much larger spike at 47.31 percent growth during that decade. Overall, Mount Pleasant in 2010 had about 68,500 residents. Today, its population is estimated to be around 96,000.
As time has passed, the area considered to be Upper or North Mount Pleasant has changed.
"You'll hear a lot of people say, especially those that have maybe lived here and grown up here, 'Oh, you never used to go passed Snee (Farm), or Long Point, you know. Never.' You never used to go any farther. There wasn't anything," said Ellen Moore, a Carolina Park resident.
Courtney Marsh, a lifelong Mount Pleasant resident, has watched the growth of the town as she's grown up. She recalled childhood school rivalries between Laing Middle School, which she attended, and her friends at Moultrie and Cario middle schools.
"I went to Laing back when we were teased," Marsh said. "Now, it’s a Home Depot."
Today, there are several developments past Snee Farm, including the large-scale neighborhoods of Dunes West, Park West and Carolina Park that house over 14,000 residents. There's also Wando High School, which relocated to Warrior Way in 2004 and now serves over 2,500 students, along with Oceanside Collegiate Academy and Roper St. Francis Mount Pleasant Hospital.
The establishment of Lucy Beckham High School in 2020 could be a contributing factor to the sense of "divisiveness" between "North" and "South" Mount Pleasant.
"I'm interested in seeing how that impacts our community's feel of being centered around one high school," Marsh said. "For a very long time, it was Wando High School, Wando Warriors, one big community centered around that."
