La France is perfect for brides looking for vintage-inspired, totally unique dresses. I purchased a beautiful Sue Wong dress here in February and had an amazing experience thanks to the carefully curated selection, above-and-beyond service and friendly atmosphere.There aren't a million dresses to choose from, but what they do have is so beautiful and different, with lots of 1920s and 30s silhouettes. After visiting a number of stores where I saw the same types of dresses over and over, La France was just what I needed.

Bought my wedding dress here and had a wonderful experience! My dress is the Unique Vintage "Happily Ever After" dress in pure white. The staff were very helpful in getting me the correct size, and even gave me a handkerchief since it was my wedding dress! I love this store, and went back to buy my niece's Maid of Honor dress. We both love that their selection is all vintage or reproduction. Highly recommend to anyone looking for something offbeat, and off the rack.

I was referred here for accessories from my bridal consultant at another local bridal shop. I was very impressed with La France! My mom, sister, and I went looking for accessories but ended up staying for over an hour just looking at all of the great vintage items. We were all pleasantly surprised and I can't wait to return when I'm back in Tampa! I plan to make several visits back before the wedding. I love the fact that their inventory changes often and they are very forthcoming about when we can expect new items!

Amazing Shop, great place for browsing. If you want something different, especially vintage, this is a great stop in Ybor City. I find that I keep going back again and again.

What is there not to love about La France!!! Let's start with the staff...incredibly knowledgeable about fashion and styles from different time periods and ready with answers to your questions. They are very friendly, courteous and fun. Jill, the owner, and Kate, the manager are nothing but professional, knowledgeable and so kind. Then there is the clothing itself. From funky vintage, hipster, mid-century to turn of the century, it is a swoon worthy inventory! Try and make one decision there. Oh, and let's just say the accessories are perfect for whatever occasion or look you want. Personally I have a soft spot for La France. Our daughter bought her wedding dress here and it is a keepsake. Every vintage client I have gets referred to La France.
