The Shoppe

I grew up in Saratoga and have purchased a number of dresses from The Shoppe many times throughout the years. The negative reviews on Unilocal were disappointing, although I can see the customers frustration with their return policy. Their clothes are unique and beautiful, and typically quite pricey. They carry many dresses for any occasions. Recently, I was shopping in downtown Saratoga with my mom and we happened past the store and began browsing through the sale racks out on the sidewalk. I found a beautiful LBD (little black dress) on a great sale and decided to try it on. The dress was just a little bit too big and I was hemming and hawing in front of the mirror, wondering whether it was worth buying and getting altered. The manager of the store (the owners son) is very friendly and said that he has a seamstress on staff and that she could come out and look at the dress for me. It look less than 10 minutes for her to come out and pin the dress. The next day she called and said that the dress was ready for me to pick up. The Shoppe is a wonderful example of a privately owned small business, and it has thrived in Saratoga for years and just opened a new store in downtown Troy. Ladies, If you are looking for a unique outfit for a special occasion, this is the place to go.
