SEZANE SPRING COLLECTION TRY-ON & REVIEW (Honest/Unsponsored) | Mademoiselle

[@freefallingintograce4634]

Hi Jamie! Such beautiful, unique, feminine pieces. They suit you very much, and no, I can't imagine that white would work well for you at the moment! I love how the ecru scalloped neck cardi looks on you, but again not sure how it would fit with your lifestyle at the moment because it is quite light. And thank you for replying to my old comment today. I thought you'd missed it, but you've found it and replied! I was shocked that you did. Thank you for meticulously replying every time. I can't believe it. Thank you so much for this! The print dresses are fun, aren't they? Are you enjoying wearing the one with a geometric print you featured a few weeks back? Wishing you a wonderful week ahead and a quiet peaceful Monday to yourself!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I never miss a comment! Sometimes just takes me a while to get to them as the way it’s filtered through in the back end on YT is most recent first so I usually start at the top and make my way down. If I’m replying a couple weeks late you know I’m behind 😅 And yes I am! Great memory 😚😚😚 Not baby free today as our son is sick but making the most of his nap time 🙊 Hope you have an amazing week Natalya 🥰🥰

[@DailyHelenJ]

Clicked on this video so fast and loved seeing all these pieces on you! Everything looks great but the white cardigan tucked into jeans is extra lovely on you :)

[@mademoisellejaime]

Haha I am a sucker for a sezane try on too! Did you buy anything? And thank you so much Helen 🥰

[@heatherk6445]

The blouses were definitely my favorite pieces! For bodysuits have you tried ASOS? Since they have a designated "tall" section they might have some good options. Not sure about the quality, but could be worth a look.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Actually ASOS’s tall section is FAB! I have a hard time finding one piece swimsuits which actually fit my and it’s one of the few brands which has tall options which actually are nice 🙈 I’ve not thought to check there for bodysuits but perhaps I might give that a go. Thanks so much for the suggestion Heather! 🥰

[@godslittlestidiot2984]

undeniable truths I have learned about myself: 1) seazane is very close to my style though I prefer more bohemian and I want half of the site if not more 2) If i ever have seazane money i will most likely be spending my money elsewhere because my cart never has less than 15 items from them 3) sezane reviews give me life have a great week ;)

[@mademoisellejaime]

Haha! Well, you're not alone; I find myself wish listing after a good portion of the site too :) Thank you so much for watching! x

[@ninapotemkin]

Hahaha I love your comment. I also want all the sezane clothes 🥰

[@vesna2953]

Hey Mrs Jamie, I always look forward to your clothing and shoes review. It's definitely spring time and glad you have some nice dresses.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thank you so much Malik :)

[@Blondie77128]

Great video! Thank you for the informative review of these gorgeous pieces. All pieces look wonderful on you. Especially love the Emmy blouse and Lia dress. The dress was unexpected, so much more lovely than it appears on the website.

[@mademoisellejaime]

You're welcome - I hope you found it helpful! xx

[@jokarabelas7422]

I have to agree the website is rubbish at really showing the items which is why I have never purchased from this brand, I did love the first two shirts.

[@mademoisellejaime]

Right?! I wish they would just do ghost imagery (product imagery on a white background) as this would make it so much easier. Even simple model shots would be great. I think this why as beautiful as their items are, I always have such a hit or miss experience with them. Probably doesn't help that I'm so fussy about fabrics too :) Thanks so much for watching Jo and hope you have a great week ahead x

[@mysymphony6737]

I like the first blouse. 💚

[@mademoisellejaime]

It’s pretty right? I love the print and the ruffle detail 🥰

[@elaineroberts7493]

The blouses were really the only items that appealed to me from this order, and for myself I prefer the ecru cotton one - but the other makes obvious sense for you, and is a little different. Sezane as a brand doesn’t really grab me for some reason, and I found your comments on the fabrics very interesting, as I too take a lot of notice of composition. Maybe I’ll take a look in the London store when I am confident enough to visit again!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I think if I'd managed to purchase that ecru shirt in the pale blue, I may have felt more inclined to keep it as it was such a special shirt. They do have some gorgeous pieces but it is very hit or miss, especially if you can only shop online like me. They've been introducing a lot more natural fibre pieces into their collections and in my experience, those are *always* the ones I find are the nicest! :)

[@silviang8612]

Can you share your body measurements so that i know how i fit into sezane? I havent' bought sezane before but would like to try. Thanks!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I think I have a 90cm bust, 63cm waist, and approx 90cm hip. I wear an AU8/US4/size 26 in jeans and usually am a 36 or 4 in Sezane. I get a 2 in their high waisted styles.

[@rosalindmason9242]

I was looking for a long sleeved black mesh bodysuit. Initially I shopped on Far Fetch and was getting a Jonathan Simkai bodysuit but a day after I ordered it my purchase got mysteriously cancelled. In the end it worked in my favour because I found a similar item on ASOS Tall for a fraction of the price. Reason I mention this is that it is very long in the torso and there was a good selection of styles and colours.

[@mademoisellejaime]

You're the second person to suggest ASOS Tall to me! I'm going to have a look over the weekend I think. I have purchased from their tall swimsuit line which was game changing for me as otherwise I can't wear a one piece - they're all too short! x

[@melissajones4396]

The Emmy blouse is lovely on you Jamie-Lee! Thanks for the tip RE: laundering knitwear with polyamide... I'm so scared to launder my Gaspard knits, maybe I should just take them to the dry-cleaner as you've suggested. Happy Monday!! x

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks Melissa! Yeah and I know what you mean. One of my knits shrank in the wash and the other doesn’t feel the same. I think I’m maybe just going to have a make it a rule that I don’t buy sezane knits unless they have zero synthetics in them. Dry cleaning is the safest bet for sure 😘

[@aliceding5304]

Hi Jamie, just wondering if your ever lane alpaca knit is gentle in the skin? I have eczema around my neck, so on the hunt for a knit that does not irritate the skin. Thank you!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I find that it can be a little itchy at first, and some of the colours seem to be softer than others. I would recommend cashmere or cotton knits to be on the safe side! x

[@aliceding5304]

@@mademoisellejaime thank you!

[@carolinec6595]

Just a suggestion: you should check out the kibbe body types. When you put on the black bodysuit, you finally looked put together.

[@famkedeclerck5343]

I think she looks put together in every single one of these outfits, yes black really suits her but i strongly believe that you will glow in any outfit/ color you FEEL really good in ❤️

[@mademoisellejaime]

I love a boat neckline for sure! I looked into it before having a baby, and at the time my "type" was so far removed from my personal style. I have this funny feeling I was perhaps on the cusp between two types, and neither were really a true reflection of what I felt comfortable wearing. Perhaps something to look into again when I have a free moment!

[@carolinec6595]

Try Aly Art on KZbin; I found that she is the clearest

[@mysticfox1563]

Caroline, I think maybe English is not your first language and you don’t know how the sentence sounded. Saying “finally” makes it rude and not a compliment. Hopefully this helps.

[@katiagrunwaldt9950]

To be honest, the Lia Dress looked perfect on you, even better than on the model of the website. Definitely a key piece! I bought several times from Sézane (Germany is just in the neighborhood of France :-)), but I have to order very carefully as they are indeed very special as an online brand....can’t wait to visit the store in London as soon as traveling is possible in Europe. It is so important to feel the fabric of the items. So your experiences you share in your video is helping a lot if you consider to order 👍

[@mademoisellejaime]

That is so kind thank you Katia

[@paulamarie2325]

My experience with Sezane knits has been similar. I'm not keen on some of the yarn mixes they use, and the cardigans in particular are often cut too short and wide for my body type. I also don't like the way their balloon sleeves fit under jackets. However, I do have a beautiful collection of shirts, blouses and t-shirts from Sezane in 100% silk, cotton or linen and I'm completely in love with them! 😍 xx

[@mademoisellejaime]

I think I'm going to make a rule from now on only to even consider a knit if it's cotton or merino. My experience laundering any of them with polyamide has not been great and I really don't want to have to go to the dry cleaner all the time. Agree on the blouses! I think that's where the brand shines, especially when they're made in natural fibres :)

[@floralaura2543]

I am somewhat tall as well and I have only tried on one bodysuit ever from everlane, the torso definitely was an issue and an odd feeling to feel constrained in that way. Let us know if you find a good source for talls!

[@mademoisellejaime]

A few recommendations have come through for ASOS tall so planning to explore that as an option :)

[@cathymccarthy5360]

I love browsing on the Sézane website, but everything you mentioned stops me from pressing the button and ordering. I love their pants and jackets. I’m not sure what their return policy is, but we need to consider these things living in Australia. For example, I love Reiss but we don’t have a store in Perth and their online return policy is expensive because you have to pay to return it to the UK. Jess from Fashion and Style Edit has some really good reviews of Sézane on her channel for reference. 🥰

[@stucumins8511]

We have stores in Melbourne and Sydney. Perhaps use them instead of the U.K.. David Jones stocks Reiss too. 😀

[@cathymccarthy5360]

@@stucumins8511 They don't stock Reiss in David Jones here in Perth unfortunately. David Jones and the AU Reiss stores don't have the range they have on the Reiss website, and often aren't on sale at the same time, but I have purchased Reiss from DJ's online during the sale. I can only afford Reiss when it's on sale!

[@tarynblecher5215]

I loved the first blouse! I tend to find that Sézane‘s cotton/silk pieces are gorgeous, but sweaters/pants never work for me... I prefer to find Isabel Marant or Ulla Johnson on the second hand market

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thanks Taryn - I agree, their cotton and silk pieces are very nice. I got the Lea blouse which is just divine. I've owned a couple IM knits in the past but they were mohair and just too itchy? Though I'll take another look. Love Ulla Johnson too!

[@EmA-sm8se]

I have never ordered from Sezane and I don't really plan to. I don't feel their pieces align with my tastes, and they are far too overpriced imo. I'm also a knitwear fanatic and the polyamide mixes are a complete no for me. I think the only thing I liked from their website was the Scott trenchcoat, but I will pass for now. Kudos to you to keep trying this brand. I know it's a popular one. I hope you're doing well 😊

[@tigrezz0852]

Totally agree with you Em A. I am also a fan of Helen and her videos feature a lot of Sezane.. I just sigh when I watch... lol

[@mademoisellejaime]

There are so many other options out there so I totally appreciate this. I agree that the polyester/viscose/polyamide pieces are just very expensive for what they are, especially when you can get natural fibre alternatives for similar or less. Everlane to me is a great example of a brand that has affordable knitwear options (which are generally much more in line with my style too!). Their visuals/marketing is very good, that's for sure, as even knowing that I still get sucked in. Safe to say I'm not immune! Haha, well, I think I'm often giving into my fantasy self when I do, but right now I have so many great basics I'm at a point where I do want to add in the odd piece which feels a little more special. Suppose that's what keeps me continuing to look at what the brand does!

[@Manita7988]

I like the first blouse and the dress :)

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thank you! 😊 Safe to say the blouse is a keeper :)

[@alemkaknapp8576]

I agree, they are also my favourites. I do not think that the dress is too short, it fits bautifully.

[@samadhiselenamarr9210]

Oh you look gorgeous in the Emmy blouse! I love it

[@mademoisellejaime]

Thank you so much! xx

[@bridlong7763]

I absolutely love the Lia dress, however I would prefer it to be longer. I think the dress is very classy on top but looses it at the lower half. It's a brand that I would love to try but with no bricks and mortar store I am hesitant.

[@mademoisellejaime]

That was my issue with it - a bit too short and where the final button was placed meant that it could easily end up being indecent... And I know what you mean. Especially if you live in a country where they don't offer free or easy returns. I find it simple enough to return to the local warehouse here in Australia though you usually have to chase up the refund with their customer service team which is a little annoying (though they're always very helpful)

[@bridlong7763]

I'm based in Ireland and usually bought from the U.K during lockdown. With the U.K leaving the EU (duty will apply) I'm sourcing European brands going forward. Seazane is a brand that pops up regularly and their style of clothing looks lovely. Maybe I'll chance it soon :) You seem happy with the brand overall, gret feedback on the type of materials used for the knitwear etc... very helpful 👌

[@anikomiko388]

Hello! Maybe Sezane is just not Your thing... 🙂 I feel these pieces are pretty expensive to keep if they are not making you feel like they are perfect for You. Not sure what you have decided to keep, but it seems to me like the small print ruffled blouse was the only keeper. I have certainly walked into dressing rooms with a dozen items, only to take home one or none. Hope you have a nice week!

[@ninapotemkin]

I agree

[@mademoisellejaime]

It’s funny isn’t it? You can love the aesthetic of a brand so much, but no matter how hard you try a lot of it just isn’t cut for your body type or what you feel most comfortable *actually* wearing. I think that’s kinda how I feel a lot of the time with Sezane, though I have managed to add a handful of really lovely pieces from the brand to my closet. Ive had that experience too - taken so much into the dressing room often to decide none of it looked quite right on me 😅 over the weekend made the decision that i think it’s just the first floral blouse for me. Same to you!

[@larayne]

I agree, it wasn’t a “wow” for any of those - but the black Ronnie jumper you bought a while back definitely was!

[@mademoisellejaime]

They have an Australian warehouse so makes returns a lot easier than it used to be. It's supposedly free but my return labels have never properly worked. As it's domestic I don't mind too much if I have to pay $10 to return my items given they are on the more expensive end of the spectrum. HTH!

[@mademoisellejaime]

I always find it really challenging to come across beautiful printed tops - it's one of the few areas in my closet that I think is actually lacking. Probably would look better with my hair pulled back or styled up a bit more; have been having a mare with it since accidentally cutting it a bit too short.. oops! The leopard print is gorgeous isn't it? I'm almost tempted to maybe get the shorts despite knowing I don't need them. Hope you have a great week! x

[@mysticfox1563]

You have a beautiful wardrobe already, you are right to be picky with new additions.

[@mysticfox1563]

mademoiselle, the comparison is perfect. I wouldn’t think twice about trying on dozens of things in a fitting room and only finding one I liked, but it somehow feels different when it’s at home. Like maybe we should be having better luck because we technically already paid for it when really it’s probably the same ratio.

[@lovetolove011]

Wait didn’t you return your entire order from Sezane the last time you placed an order from them?

[@mademoisellejaime]

That was the very first order I made, maybe three years ago now? I said in that video that it was a first impression - ultimately I didn’t do my own due diligence when ordering; I neglected to look at composition as I took the word of other influencers and who talked about the brands use of natural fibres and sustainability - and I did want to give them another chance, and have gone on to purchase multiple items since. I do find the brand hit or miss for me, so you need to do your homework or at least scrutinize purchases carefully

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I don’t buy from Sezane, they are very size-exclusive. I’m a mostly medium US, occasionally large to accommodate my fuller bust, and according to their size chart, nothing would fit me. Yes, I could buy shoes and accessories from them, but why? I don’t like to support elitist brands like them, and there are so many other great brands out there, in average sizes. Also, their styles are often too-girlish, I like more sophisticated styling.

[@stucumins8511]

They use way too many synthetics for my taste and my ethics.

[@mademoisellejaime]

In their knitwear? Absolutely! Planning on making it a rule that I don't order any knitwear from them unless it's merino/cotton/cashmere as I've been disappointed far too many times. Great to see that the rest of their collections are generally natural fibres these days though :)

[@zioninlion9206]

I think Sezane is not your style.

[@mademoisellejaime]

You might be right - I think part of it is also down to the items I chose and I'm quite fussy these days if it's not something ultra basic (of which I've essentially stopped shopping for as I have that part of my wardrobe sorted). It's always so hard to tell what an item is going to be like from their gallery, so I kinda hope that my shopping foibles will at least help others who are wanting to buy something from the brand :)
