What French Women Never Wear on Their Wedding Day

You might have noticed that we're not shy about our love for all things French style here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . We're dying to know where Parisian girls shop, what style rules they live by, and more. So when we found out that Vogue.com interviewed French wedding dress designers about local women's bridal preferences, we were all ears.

Armed with their first-hand knowledge, the designers offered insight into how French women choose their wedding dresses. For starters, there's one thing they avoid: anything too played out or cookie-cutter. "French brides love the idea of being unique and a bit offbeat," wedding dress designer Laure de Sagazan told Vogue.com. "It’s rare that a bride comes to see me saying that she wants the same dress as this celebrity or a dress she saw in a magazine. They search for singularity."

As for popular silhouettes, de Sagazan says that French women go for streamlined looks. "Parisian brides generally ask for easy, slip-style silhouettes and a relaxed skirt with an A-line waist and short train...They think a lot about their wedding dress but the secret is that nobody can see it. Most of the time when you look at a French bride it looks like she picked her dress last-minute.” Curious to learn more about French designers' insights?

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
