What can I say, I like to be fancy sometimes, and this Capital Region boutique always has exactly…read morewhat I'm looking for, even before I know what it is I'm looking for, ya know what I mean? This shop offers an entirely different shopping experience than we're used to in the Capital Region. Instead of rummaging through the racks at the big box or off-price stores, shopping at Fancy Schmancy is like the Cadillac of shopping experiences: pretty much one-stop shopping for all your fancy outfit needs, with attentive and sweet sales associates helping you find what you're looking for, minus the crowds and the parking and the other headaches that come with shopping at places like the mall. Fancy Schmancy is popular on the high school prom circuit (and rightfully so!); however, this shop is so much more than prom dresses and ball gowns - it's one of my favorite places to shop when I'm looking for something a little fancier than usual, so if/when you need something for a special occasion, you should definitely give this place a try! From black tie weddings to causal holiday parties, and I've always felt like a million bucks while wearing anything I've ever purchased from this shop, like the perfect cocktail dresses for my sister's December rehearsal dinner and black tie wedding in July, or a long tweed vest with a faux fur trimmed collar and pockets outlined with a uniform row of pearls and silver beads for a casual holiday party, I've found the perfect threads to wear for any occasion. And it's not just the clothes, either. Fancy Schmancy has a beautiful display and selection of jewelry/costume jewelry to accessorize with, not to mention trendy hair pieces, like top knot and Renaissance style headbands, sparkly bobby pins, and the latest craze: jumbo flip clips. I actually picked up a pair of jumbo flip clips adorned in pearls to wear to the holiday party with the faux fur vest (I was getting a blow out so why not be extra fancy, right?) and what started an impulse buy at the register turned into my new favorite hair accessory! They have a really fun social media feed (@fancyschmancycouture) and true story: one time last summer I raced over there after I saw a really cool newspaper print jumper in their Instagram Stories, because it was the perfect outfit to wear to an event I had that weekend. So if anyone doubts the power of social media, I'm a good case study. They have a good price point overall - some things can be a little on the higher end (the fancier cocktail dresses and pieces in that department), but their casual wear is pretty reasonable, and it's definitely boutique quality and selection over the mass produced stuff you see on the racks virtually everywhere else. Social media is a great way to keep up with their inventory and, more importantly, sales! In fact, right now until the end of the year (literally one more day) they're offering 40% off casual wear, so I'm tempted to pop in to see what last minute deals of 2019 I can snag! If you're still looking for a NYE outfit, I highly suggest you save yourself the headache and aggravation of rummaging through the racks at the mall and give this boutique a try - you might be surprised! I know I was.

I liked that they offer men's clothing also and wanted to pick up a few things for my spouse . The sales person didn't greet me immediately, but after about 5 minutes she asked if I needed help. I responded I wanted to look around for a few minutes, and she replied, "the sales clothing are in the back." I spent quite some time looking around in both the front and back and she never once spoke to me again. I was the only person in the store. I found a few items to try on and not once did she come to the dressing room and ask if I needed another size or if I needed assistance. Here's what is important to me: customer service. This shop wasn't offering brands I couldn't find somewhere else. I did ask for assistance in finding a size and she did do a quick look for me. I purchased 2 items and said thank you as she handed me my receipt, her response , "OK ." Not a thank you , not one thank you for making a purchase . I intended to take my husband to look around after his appointment , however I was so disgusted with the salesperson, I refused to patronize this establishment ever again. So confused by other reviews stating great friendly salespeople , must have been written by the owner's family.

Unless you are a regular customer and they know are going to spend a lot, they ignore you. I stopped in last week and was all set to spend $150 on a raincoat.

A saleswoman answered my question about sizing, but when I tried on the coat and stood by the mirror for a while, she never came over to offer an opinion or ask if I needed help. Both of them were paying a great deal of attention to another customer. This is not the first time I've gone in there and been ignored. I probably won't go back again.

However, their selection of dresses seem to only fit the "ideal" body type. Their selection does not take into account girls with bigger chests, and they have a very small range of sizes.
