Designed by Parisian designer, Isabelle Ballu, a long-time friend of Saint James. Each season, she collaborates with our style team to offer nautical-inspired designs with a feminine touch. A modern take on classic maritime style, the Balancine Dress is crafted from textured cotton that softens beautifully with wear. This tailored silhouette blends structure with effortless elegance. The iconic Breton stripes are reimagined and placed boldly on the upper body, while decorative contrast buttons add a refined, statement touch. Short sleeves and a flattering fit make it the perfect piece for sunny days, whether strolling the coast or stepping out in the city.

Navy Orange Balanchine Dress
Love the dress—very comfortable yet stylish.

Runs Big
This is a beautiful dress, very high quality. Unfortunately I had to return it. I wear a US size 2 or 4 (5’4”, 107 lbs) and I ordered this dress in the size 4. By my estimate the size 4 fits like a US size 8. It looked like you could have fit two of me in it.

Beautiful dress
It is such a comfortable and beautiful dress. I am sure I will wear it often this summer. Love the orange with the navy and the style is just perfect.
