Elaine Felag, President and Owner of FEMININE FANCIES

For over 43 years, Elaine Felag has helped women feel confident, stylish, and empowered as the president and owner of FEMININE FANCIES in Barrington. Her love for fashion took root in high school while working at Cherry & Webb in the lingerie and women’s clothing department.

After earning a degree from Providence College and spending years as a social worker, she followed her passion and opened Feminine Fancies – a boutique designed to feel like a fashion getaway. “I want every woman to feel at home, comfortable, and confident,” she says. “And most of all, to have fun while shopping!”

Customers rely on her styling expertise, often insisting they “need her” to complete their look. Her keen eye has earned multiple Best of RI awards, and she takes pride in curating outfits that bring endless compliments. Even after rebuilding from a devastating fire, she remains devoted to the customers she considers family.

Beyond fashion, Elaine thrives as a swing dance enthusiast, exercise advocate, and spray paint artist. “We’re always dancing at Feminine Fancies,” she says. “Come join us!”
