What’s My Clothes Size at Sézane? Does Sézane Run Big or Small?

Sézane is the epitome of effortless French style—feminine, tailored, and subtly chic. Known for its lace blouses, structured denim, vintage-inspired dresses and romantic knits, the Parisian brand has earned a cult following across Europe and the UK.

But behind the polished aesthetic, many shoppers are left wondering:

What size should I buy at Sézane?

Does Sézane run big or small? And how can you find the right fit—especially when shopping from the UK where sizing standards differ?

This post answers those questions in detail—and introduces Tellar.co.uk, the UK’s leading free sizing tool that helps you find your perfect Sézane size in real time, based on your body measurements.


Does Sézane Run Big or Small?

Sézane tends to run small, especially in fitted tops, dresses, and denim.

While sizing varies by fabric and collection, UK customers frequently report that:

  • Tops and blouses are snug across the bust and shoulders

  • Dresses can be fitted at the waist and hips, with minimal stretch

  • Trousers and denim tend to be cut for straighter figures, making them tight for curvier body types

  • Knitwear is more forgiving and often fits true to size or slightly large

In general, UK shoppers often size up when buying from Sézane—particularly in structured garments or non-stretch pieces.


Why Sézane Sizing Can Feel Inconsistent

Several design factors contribute to sizing confusion:

1. European Fit Block

Sézane is based in France and uses European fit standards, which typically reflect:

  • Narrower shoulders

  • Straighter waists

  • Longer torsos

    This can be difficult for UK customers with curvier or petite proportions.

2. Minimal Stretch

Many of Sézane’s most iconic garments—denim, poplin shirts, blouses—use natural fibres like cotton, wool, and silk, with little or no elastane. This means fit is less forgiving.

3. Inconsistent Fit Notes

While Sézane does include some product-specific notes (e.g. “if you are between two sizes, take the larger one”), there is no unified logic across the brand’s collections.

While helpful, this chart doesn’t reflect:

  • The cut of each garment

  • Your proportions (e.g. smaller waist, curvier hips, broader shoulders)

  • Whether the garment stretches, buttons up, or cinches at the waist

That’s where Tellar.co.uk offers a smarter solution.

Final Thoughts

Sézane sizing often runs small, especially in structured or woven items. While the brand’s design language is beautiful and refined, the sizing can be restrictive if you don’t match the expected shape.

Tellar.co.uk removes the guesswork completely. By matching your real shape to Sézane’s actual garment logic, you’ll get personalised sizing for every style—and avoid disappointment, delays, or returns.
