If you’ve been a fairly long-time Instagram follower of mine, then you already know how much I love the French brand Sezane. I own dozens of pieces by the brand, from essentials to fun seasonal items, and even shoes. And even though I think they do many things well, I always find myself patiently waiting for warmer weather to snag several summer dresses from them. Over the last few years I have amassed quite the collection of Sezane dresses. And I always get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. They always have a great selection of special pieces mixed in with casual everyday dresses. And this season’s dress collection is no different. So, I wanted to share my favorites here with you today.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Sezane, they are a Paris-based brand that makes everything from clothes and shoes to jewelry and bags. Their pieces always have a feminine or vintage touch. And if you’re also looking for classic French girl style, you need check them out.

Sezane Summer Dresses
Sezane Sizing
French sizes tend to run slimmer than their US counterparts. So when in doubt I would size up if this is your first time shopping with the brand. I also wrote this detailed Sezane size guide with my recommendations across a ton of categories to help minimize returns. Returns ARE free though, so it doesn’t hurt to order multiple sizes and send back whichever one doesn’t fit. (Shipping is also free to the US on orders over $200.)
My Embroidered Floral Midi Dress
This dress is even more beautiful in person. The embroidery on it is gorgeous, it looks extremely expensive, and it’s well made with a lining under the florals. This is one of those dresses you can wear like I did in the photos above with heeled sandals and a blazer, or you can opt for a more casual look with some flat sandals.
I’m between a US 4 or 6 and I’m wearing a FR38 in this, which is the equivalent of a US size 6. I don’t like wearing my dresses super tight, but if I wanted I probably could have done a 4 in this dress.
Ophelia Dress
I love the cut of the Ophelia dress from Sezane, and every season they bring it back in a new print. It’s so easy to wear, extremely flattering, and gives off coastal European summer holiday vibes. This is a great lightweight dress that you can roll up and pack for vacation. Wear it sightseeing, to dinner, or even over a swimsuit.
Although this exact blue print is from another season, you can find the latest Ophelia dress here.
I’m wearing a FR38 (US 6) in this dress. If you’re in between sizes, definitely go up one size as it’s little slim below the chest in the waist area.
