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.
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 Tybee Island, GA, 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.

Sweet and feminine, our Bruna poplin eyelet bib top features ruffles at the sleeves and an eyelet lace yoke at the front.

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.

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. —
Tybee Island leaders have rejected a zoning proposal to add a beach club on Second Street. Residents raised concerns about its potential impact on the surrounding neighborhood and local businesses.
The proposal, tied to Hotel Bardo in Savannah, would have placed the club on a beachfront lot near homes on Tybee Island.
"If they want it to be a beach club, it has to be zoned for business," said Tybee Island Mayor Brian West. "That would require changing the zone... in the middle of a residential area."
At a March 12 city meeting, opponents questioned having the business in a residential area.
“I do not see how any member of this council can do it to the neighbors living there,” one resident said during public comment.
Others spoke in support of the project, citing the developers' current hotels.
"Both Hotel Bardo and Perry Lane... the areas around them have absolutely flourished," said one resident.
Developers defended the proposal, saying they are "here to be a part of the community" at the meeting.
The Tybee Island City Council ultimately voted against the zoning ordinance at the meeting, which was needed for the project to move forward as a beach club.
Mayor Brian West said the decision reflected stronger-than-expected public opposition.
“There were more people than expected who were not in favor of this project,” West said.
West said developers may still pursue another use for the property, but not a beach club under the rejected proposal.
“It’ll have to be something else,” he said.
He added that a beach club could still be possible in another part of the island, such as an area with existing restaurants and commercial activity.
“If they were closer to the end of the island or closer to the north end, where there’s restaurants and things on the north as well, that might work better,” West said.
However, location wasn't the only concern shared by residents. Some warned the beach club could divert spending from existing local businesses. Developers disputed that claim, saying they would encourage beach club visitors to patronize businesses across the island.
WJCL reached out to Hotel Bardo and the developers for comment and had not received a response at time of publication.
West said developers spoke with the city manager the day after the meeting, though it remains unclear whether those discussions involved alternative plans for the site or another location.
For now, the failed zoning request leaves the proposed beach club unable to move forward on Second Street, as residents wait to see what developers do next.

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - St. Patrick’s Day celebrations are ramping up this weekend, and if you’re looking for a parade or two to stop by before the big one in Savannah next week, you won’t want to miss the Tybee Island Irish Heritage Parade.
The 23rd Annual Tybee Island Irish Heritage Parade is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Saturday. Local and visitors alike are excited for another great Irish celebration on the beach.
The parade route starts at Tybee Island City Hall, travels down Butler Avenue to Tybrisa Street and ends near Strand Avenue.
Parking along Butler Avenue from 14th Street to Tybrisa Street is no longer available. Parking along Tybrisa Street will be restricted beginning at 3 a.m. Saturday. Organizers are advising attendees to arrive early to find available parking and to expect traffic delays on parade day.
Jay Burke III, chairman and founder of the parade, said he launched the event so the entire island could celebrate Irish heritage.
“I want everybody really to get out. It’s entertaining, but it’s a family-oriented event where you can celebrate our Irish heritage. If you’re not Irish, you can still come down and enjoy it. Like they say, everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day,” Burke said.
The parade typically draws tens of thousands of people to the island and features floats, marching groups, pipe and drum bands and more.
The Tybee Island parade is the first in a series of St. Patrick’s Day parades in the Coastal Empire and Lowcountry. Hilton Head’s parade is scheduled for Sunday, and Savannah’s is set for Tuesday.
If you’re coming out, make sure to wear green and bring plenty of Irish spirit with you.
WTOC’s Stormchaser and some familiar faces will be in the parade, so keep an eye out and say hi (or Happy St. Patrick’s Day) when you see us.

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. —
Fans of our feathered friends are flocking to Tybee Island for three days of celebration, education, and action for shorebirds.
Manomet Conservation Sciences and the Tybee Island Marine Science Center hosting the Second Annual Tybee Shorebird Festival through Saturday.
Through guided beach walks, citizen training, online games, and a family-friendly festival on Saturday, Feb. 21, attendees will learn how to play a critical role in shorebird conservation and make a difference in their communities.
Each spring, Tybee Island becomes a vital stop along one of the greatest wildlife migrations on Earth. Shorebirds arrive from across the hemisphere to rest, refuel, and raise their young on the Georgia coast. For a few months, our coast becomes one of the busiest shorebird highways in the world.
The incredible migrations of shorebirds—some covering thousands of miles—connect ecosystems across continents and play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. Recent studies have revealed alarming declines in shorebird populations, with over half of North American species experiencing a 50% reduction since 1980.
Through the Georgia Bight Shorebird Conservation Initiative, Manomet Conservation Sciences works locally to turn awareness into action. Led by shorebird biologists on the ground, this effort focuses on community-based conservation by training volunteers, conducting surveys, and partnering with local organizations to reduce disturbance and protect critical habitat.
“By protecting shorebirds and their habitats, we also safeguard biodiversity, ensure the health of coastal communities, and support economic benefits like ecotourism,” says Allie Hayser, a local shorebird biologist and event organizer. “Nature-based tourism is part of what makes Tybee so special."
The festival takes places over three days, culminating on Saturday at the Tybee Island Marine Science Center. Below is a complete schedule of events happening Friday and Saturday.
