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 Shell Point, 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.

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.

Candidate forum
A candidate forum was Monday, Oct. 27, at Port Royal Elementary School. The event was be hosted by the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce and moderated by Chamber President Megan Morris.
There were nine questions asked of the candidates. Here are a few of their answers. (The complete event was streamed live and can be found on the town’s Facebook page and on the County Channel’s YouTube page.)
When asked to introduce themselves, incumbent Mary Beth Gray-Heyward, who has been on Town Council for 34 years said she had been the “voice for the people.” Incumbent Darryl Owens, an educator, said he was a “listener.” And the newcomer, Angela Tillman characterized herself as an advocate for small businesses and young families.
When asked how to reach all residents of Port Royal and make sure all voices were heard, Owens emphasized that sometimes constituents don’t “come to us, so we have to go to them.” Go to the people, listen to the people, respond to their concerns.
Tillman said you have to reach young people in the same way that they communicate. She said she’s experienced in this and is willing to put herself out there on social media.
Gray-Heyward emphasized that Port Royal is a big family. “We want people to come and talk to us.” She prioritized getting people together and doing the right thing for all of Port Royal.
All three candidates supported reducing regulatory requirements to help small businesses. Tillman reiterated that whatever measures were taken, they had to actually help small business owners.
Gray-Heyward advocated getting small business owners together to hear their concerns on a regular basis, while Owens talked about recruiting new businesses.
Gray-Heyward advocated a penny tax on gas to replace the Beaufort County penny tax to fund transportation projects, as did Owens. Tillman advocated the expansion of Palmetto Breeze transit.
Owens and Gray-Heyward both agreed with the revocation of funding for the County Economic Development Corporation to focus, at least temporarily on more Port Royal-centered projects. Tillman advocated for more development on the outskirts and less downtown.
All three candidates felt like the goals of the moratorium on multi-family housing were met, particularly examining the town’s codes. Tillman and Gray-Heyward would extend the moratorium. Owens opposed extending it.
Gray-Heyward and Owens felt the town’s agreement with Safe Harbor for the development of the Port of Port Royal is on the right track after a rocky start. Tillman emphasized staying in front of whatever Safe Harbor had planned and actually examining whether the waters on the port were safe.
When it comes to affordable housing, Owens said the Town needed to have an understanding of what affordable or attainable housing was for different people. Tillman advocated reaching out to those in need of affordable housing to understand who they are and what exactly they need.
Gray-Heyward went further, saying the problem is a regional issue more than a town issue. She also tied affordable day care issues in with affordable housing issues for working families.
When asked how well Port Royal works with other municipalities to address shared challenges, Tillman advocated being a bridge to the other communities to understand what the common concerns were, and allowing “no dust to settle.”
Gray-Heyward and Owens cited joint council meetings and regional organizations in which Port Royal already participates and asserted this was an area in which Port Royal was quite successful.
On what Port Royal could do to further ensure the area’s military installations have the support they need, Gray-Heyward and Owens both were confident Port Royal “was already doing what we need to do,” Owens said, working with state and national legislators to guarantee they knew they had the town’s support.
Tillman suggested the town could be more patriotic and that people visiting Port Royal “need to know” how much we support the military,
