 Boutique Dresses Tybee Island, GA

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 Tybee Island

Time to start doing your happy dance! Fit & flare dresses have very balanced proportions, making them a true winner for every body type.

Shift Dresses in Tybee Island

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 Tybee Island

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.

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) - Labor Day bringing many folks out to the beaches on Tybee Island.

Soaking up the sun, splashing in the waves and fishing off the pier.

Many of the people WTOC spoke with said they feel there’s no better way to spend this holiday than relaxing at the beach.

Some say this may be their last trip to the beach until next year, so for lots of people, this weekend marks the unofficial end of summer.

“Me and the kids are out here enjoying Labor Day weekend. Trying to catch some sun, get a little bit of exercise, probably get in this water and you know, try not to have too much fun,” Tybee Visitor Dylan Belcher said.

“We was at the beach, relaxing, enjoying this weather. We don’t have no beaches at home so enjoying the weather, enjoying the beach. It’s a good vibe,” Tybee Visitor Tyrone Simmerson said.

Simmerson is visiting from all the way from Mississippi. He said he knew Tybee was the place he wanted to spend this weekend because all he wanted to do was decompress by the ocean.

Business owners say they’re grateful for the foot traffic Labor Day brings to the island.

The owner of Boardwalk Ice Cream on Tybrisa Street says this weekend brought one of the busiest days of the summer. He says on Saturday his shop was packed from open until close.

That’s the kind of business he says is crucial this time of year.

“It’s a, it’s a little slow for a few, few weeks leading up to Labor Day, so this is kind of a good, good little extra bump to get us through the winter,” said Allen Newkirk.

Newkirk says although some mark this weekend as the unofficial end of summer, he’s hoping that with these warm temperatures, locals will continue to come out and cool off with his ice cream.

Meanwhile, some people said it was there first time out here on Tybee and they’re already looking forward to coming again.

“Well, we thought it was a great day to come out to Tybee because we did a lot of cleanup after the storm and we just needed to get out of the house and enjoy this beautiful day. There’s not a care in the world out here. I mean there’s nothing to do except just enjoy the sun and lay on the beach, enjoy the water,” said Janice and Jim Ambler.

The Ambler’s say they turn to Tybee when they need a place to forget all their worries.

Tybee Island, Ga. — U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is continuing his work to protect Tybee Island from sea level rise and coastal flooding.

Sen. Ossoff today announced a new $380,000 Federal grant to help protect residents and homes from flooding on Tybee Island. The Federal grant funding will be matched with $320,000 in local funds.

The Federal funding, through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)’s National Coastal Resilience Fund, will help the City design and permit a horizontal levee and living shoreline along 1,200 feet of marsh, replacing a culvert that is impeding water flow and causing erosion across the marsh, benefiting 185 acres of tidal salt marsh.

In 2019, Tybee Island securedThis is an external link a $125,000 Federal grant through the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) for the initial design of these key projects, which was matched at the time with $175,000 in local funds.

Between 2016 and 2021, flooding events on Tybee Island increased by 30 percentThis is an external link, threatening the city and its residents.

“I express my gratitude to local leaders and advocates on Tybee Island for bringing local resources to bear to match Federal dollars and who have been such consistent advocates for Tybee Island, particularly when it comes to protecting Tybee Island from storms and flooding,” Sen. Ossoff said. “These funds will help build and maintain critical coastal infrastructure necessary to protect Tybee Island residents and businesses from storms.”

“The support provided by NFWF is critical to Tybee’s ability to improve our coastal community’s resilience, reducing the risk of rising seas and coastal flooding that we are experiencing, while also preserving the natural environment and wildlife habitat, which we hold so dear,” said Shirley Sessions, Mayor of Tybee Island.”

Sen. Ossoff continues to champion efforts to protect Coastal Georgia communities from the effects of sea-level rise and flooding.

In May, Sen. Ossoff delivered new resources through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to construct a new hurricane and tornado safe room on Tybee Island, providing a safe area for emergency personnel who must remain on the Island during hurricanes and other disaster situations.

Last year, Sen. Ossoff’s bipartisan legislationThis is an external link to protect Tybee Island from storm surge, beach erosion, and coastal flooding was signed into law. This law extended the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ authority to partner with Tybee Island for another 12 years.

Also last year, Sen. Ossoff delivered $5 million for Georgia Tech’s Coastal Equity and Resilience (CEAR) Hub to expand their network of low-cost water level sensors along the entire coast to collect vital and potentially life-saving data on sea-level rise.

About 18 miles from downtown Savannah, Georgia, Tybee Island is often called “Savanah’s Beach.” Tybee Island has long been known as one of the best on the east coast of the United States. You’ll find over 3 miles of beautiful beaches, gentle waves, sugar sand, and dolphins passing by at all hours of the day.

Unfortunately, you won’t find dogs on Tybee Island’s beaches because no dogs are allowed on them at any time, even during the off-season. Dogs aren’t allowed on Tybee Island’s beautiful beaches because loggerhead turtles nest there. Conservationists worry (and rightly so) that dogs may upset these magnificent creatures or dig up their nests.

The good news is that you’ll find several excellent dog-friendly beaches within a few miles of Tybee Island to enjoy with your pup. To help you do exactly that, we’ve listed the top 6 dog-friendly beaches near Tybee Island below. If spending a day at the beach with your favorite canine is your goal while visiting Savannah, the info below will be just what you’re looking for!

Top 6 Dog-Friendly Beaches Near Tybee Island

It might be distressing to learn that your dog can’t accompany you when you visit Tybee Island, but it makes sense. After all, the island is a haven for loggerhead turtles, and they need to be protected. Lucky for you, there are six beautiful beaches within shouting distance of Tybee Island where dogs are allowed to enjoy the surf and sand. The closest is Little Tybee Island, but you’ll need a boat to get there. The rest are on nearby Hilton Head Island, which is beautiful and well worth visiting.

Whichever beach you choose, be sure to bring plenty of water for your dog. The beaches on Georgia’s coast get hot and sticky and, if you don’t have water, can be overwhelming, especially for dogs with thick coats of fur. Since most of the beaches on our list don’t offer food for sale, bringing treats and poop bags for your dog is also a good idea. Have a fantastic adventure, and enjoy all the dog-friendly beaches near Tybee Island, GA!

Orange Crush promoter says he's canceling event after Georgia lawmakers pass unpermitted events bill

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. —

Orange Crush 2024 has been tentatively scheduled for April. But a looming unpermitted events bill that's about to become law is making one promoter back out.

George Ramson Turner III said he's owned Orange Crush since 2006. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office shows Turner filed for the trademark of Orange Crush Festival in 2021.

Turner said he did that to help protect his brand from others: "It's been a wild goose chase for me as a trademark owner, honestly, trying to track down how many different people are using the brand name in different areas."

Turner also said he hasn't hosted an event in Georgia in the last five years.

Senate Bill 443 is awaiting Gov. Brian Kemp's signature. Once signed, cities like Tybee Island will have the power to sue unpermitted events for damages.

That's why Turner wants to make it clear he isn't hosting any events come April. He said his focus is to keep Orange Crush in Florida.

"It doesn't benefit us to have chaos in Tybee and in Georgia when we were trying to establish and make a better event in Florida," Turner said.

Turner did try to apply for a permit to use Tybee Island's Pier, which is owned by Chatham County, for an Orange Crush-related event but canceled after the permit was denied.

But Turner warned WJCL Wednesday that just because he's pulling out, doesn't mean that other promoters using the name will do the same.

WJCL found that not only were there multiple social media accounts using the name Orange Crush and advertising it, but the website Eventbrite shows certain organizers charging admission for events on Tybee Island.

However, Tybee Island Mayor Brian West said those promoters will meet the same fate: "We know who they are. If those events take place and these promoters don't try and cancel those events, then yes, there will be, you know, active lawsuits against those promoters."

Tybee Island won't have the power to sue the promoters until Gov. Kemp signs the bill into law.
