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.

My daughter has struggled with sensory issues her entire life that make certain situations challenging. After finding the perfect dress she was so excited to try it on and show her friends. We struggled in the dressing room because I couldn't figure out how to help her get it on and she ended up stuck at one point. Long story short when we finally got the dress on I couldn't figure out how to lace the back and reached out to the associate for guidance. She flat out refused to help stating "No I don't want to go in there". My daughter was brought to tears and of course the 3 girls refused to buy the dresses they all wanted out of principal. It pains me that in 2026 this is how people treat others with disabilities.

I came in asking for very specific requirements and the staff were super accommodating and helpful. (Being a religious person in pursuit of a modest dress is no easy task!) The staff at Country Bridals were encouraging, kind and helpful. At the end they even had helpful handouts for wedding planning and a cute favor! My only regret was not being able to use them for my dress as I am a picky person. Otherwise, this is the go to shop for weddings especially if you're looking for a positive experience and a beautiful dress for your special day! They also do tuxedo fittings and rentals. I am happy to report that my fiancé, father and his groomsmen will be likely be using them for a tuxedo rental as they have a wonderful selection.

Owner made no attempt to make it right, no offer of reimbursement or credit and not even an apology. I was hesitant but did ask nicely if anything could be done to make it right.

I would have expected better customer service than what I experienced given the high reviews, and that they would have high standards to make sure both jacket and pants match regardless of whether they were slim pants or not. Extremely pricey for basic black tuxedo for 1 night high school event especially if pants and jacket clearly did not match. It was pretty visible in pictures. I wouldn't recommend for future tuxedo rentals. There are other options.
